Knighted

[brainiac]

Sir Winston Churchill

Sir Edward Elgar

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Ernest Shackleton...........

 

Sir Gareth Southgate

a knighthood for what exactly?  Not winning anything?  How low we have sunk.

[Canary42]

I'm disgusted, always knew the Honours List was a joke, but this is a new low.

[ToraToraTora]

I doubt he's the least deserving in this years list.

[grumpy01]

What about Sadiq Khan?

[maggiebee]

Never heard of him - had to do a quick Google.  

[brainiac]

Maybe he can go out for a celebratory drink with Sir Stephen Fry

[ToraToraTora]

Sadiq Khan?? - perlease!

 

[Cloverjo]

That's ridiculous! They chuck awards around like sweets. 

 

[ToraToraTora]

.....ok I'll own up, I'm going to be Lord TTT.

[THECORBYLOON]

Not Lord Elpus?

[Arksided]

Goes to show we all love a nob head

[ToraToraTora]

TBF GS has been the most sucessful manager we've had since Air Alf Ramsey.

[david small]

A meaningless award, awarded to the sycophants, by the unworthy.

[Ellipsis]

Dame Emily Thornberry? 🤦

[Maydup]

It's an absolute joke. He was extremely well paid for doing an unremarkable part-time job.

Off to find the petition to stop these honours or at least change the process for awarding them, once and for all. 

[curlyfries81]

Sadiq Khan lets London turn into a third-world sh** hole and says its just "part and parcel of living in a major city" and he gets knighted for it?

I'm speechless ....

[Mozz71]

As soon as I saw Khan on the list, I was looking forward to people getting their "Alans" in a twist as his lordship would say.

 

Nice to see the wonderful Stephen Fry get a knighthood.

[davebro3]

Stephen Fry isn't "wonderful" he's a pretentious unfunny prat.

Yes - thewhole affair made into a sick joke by these undeserved awards.

Southgate? I'm sure there are bigger failures they could have picked but I can't think of one offhand!

[youngmafbog]

So you think Khan deserves it then Moz?

[youngmafbog]

Perhaps the King will knight him with a machette?

[10ClarionSt]

Mad Sad gets a knighthood whilst the considerate Kevin Sinfield gets naff all.
