Your top 3 most unjustified "Sirs"

Trevor Brooking. Nice fella, but not 'sir' material, imo.

Mixalot
han Sirhan
Pentine Gallery

mark prescott

Prescott's is hereditary.

Sir killalot and Robert Mugabe

Fred Godwin - the dipsh1t from the RBS

Denis Eton-Hogg

sir loin steak...get a grip henry

I'll probably be in the minority to be fair, but for me

David Jason
Trevor McDonald

steve redgrave-wasnt it all a team effort?

Incredibly there is a member of the House of Lords who has done time for
Arson and still gets to collect £100 a day just to turn up.

CHRIS HOY by a million miles. Had a good week on his bike and was knighted.

Chris Hoy is 1.01 Fav in this.

Salman Rushdie
Ian Blair

McCartney and Jagger

What honour was bestowed upon Lester Piggot?

Whatever it was, he was debagged of it, and sent to jail

A bit higher up the Heirarchy, there's no way I'd address Prince Edward as anything other Eddie (at best)

mick jagger - left uk to not pay tax for years

Lord Woodrow Wyatt deserves a mention

if Hoy is 1.01 then Geldof is 1.02

Hoy by a country mile. If I had a SIR I would give it back.

Ferguson's utterly ludicrous knighthood is in a different league to most of the others so far on this thread.

Mark Thatcher shocking omission of biblical proportion imo.[>o]

Prise Surprise - you've been sh@gging her for 4 years, ooh... we'll have a lorra lorra laffs chook////she's yer ferking long lost sister.

Loin of meat.

Sir Denis Eton-Hogg

Sir cle of life

Fred "The Shred" Goodwin

How is a knighthood heritary -does it go on forever?

knighthood aren't

sir is used for a few different things

Hoy by an absolute country mile.Great sportsman but a horrible embarrasment left by Gordon Brown.

Can't argue with Geldoff,never really had time for him but he was virtually alone in initiating the gargantuan relief effort for Eithopia etc.I'll give him his due he was totally devoted and made it all happen.

Sir Mark Thatcher would be an obvious one as well.

I have never NAPPED anything in my life  on here BUT if I did  it would be

Is jagger a 'sir' ?  Elton John is my choice for not deserving a knighthood

No only knighted but knighted by the Queen

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-203933/Sir-Mick-knighted-Queen.html

what a load of old tosh MJ gettting knighted

john
jagger
richard

or any other pop warblers who might have one

Prescott's is hereditary

makes it even worse imo

it's not an hereditory knighthood appearently

it's an hereditiory baronette

it's still an unjustified "sir" imo

i agree

Jagger was recommended by Blair

Thats ok then

Just the one for me - Sir Roy Castle

Cant see how ANY popstars could ever be knighted..that was Blair for you to be fair.I guess if John Lennon was alive he may have just been deserving and possibly Macca(on the back of that,but not alone)

NuLab made a feckin mockery of the honours

Winston Churchill, much overrated

Galahad. Failed to find Holy Grail and still gets knighted.

BrendanScrote   


Just the one for me - Sir Roy Castle



I am sure this is just a bad attempt at fishing as RC only ever got an OBE,
on finding out he had lung cancer he spent much of the last two years of his life raising money for the said disease.
By the way brendan you are a friggin moron,
not to worry I will take the hook out of my mouth myself.

LORD mandelson get's my goat...that geezer has been caught on the bung so many times and yet he keeps getting promoted.what title will he get next?...supreme dark lord mandelson of the sith?
and LORD coe as well...good runner,give him an obe that'll do.
DAME kelly holmes...good runner,but a chav.

Sir Steve Redgrave

To quote the genius that is Peter Kay aka Brian Potter..

'Sir Steve Redgrave!? Blimey, their giving them out to anyone these days. How hard can it be to row a boat'

Gene knew

Keep Labour out and we won`t have to list Beckham here.
Alan Sugar, inside man for the first sky footy deal,
Alex Ferguson, his was payback for the party political that helped new labour win the first election;

Too many to mention.

Mark bloody Thatcher.

did that bloke who had alzheimers but got off cos he was thatcher's mate have a knighthood ?

did that bloke who had alzheimers but got off cos he was thatcher's mate have a knighthood ?


Ernest Saunders in the Guinness scandal? Don't think so.

Alan Stanford. Rubbish at Cricket.

Have any working class people been given a knighthood ? If so I
think thats wrong , ( with the exception of someone of great military
courage and ability.)

Not just military courage, for that there is the VC. Must have shown
the capacity to win wars for Britain.

Other than almost every politician, Jagger has to be the biggest travesty in this category by a country mile.

Wogan

Have to disagree with Jagger. Brit music is fairly popular throughout the world... 'soft power' and such. Does us a favour.

Nice to see BonVivvy back. How you doin' mate?

^ Thank feck this thread is 4 years old.

Your music being liked in Belize & Belgium does not warrant you  being made a knight of the realm in my opinion.

Yes, he did well there, and all the ones he saved 28 years ago carried on breeding, and now there more than ever that are starving.

If places like this in Africa were horses, you'd shoot them.

Remarkable that a country like modern Britain should still have knighoods. A country that is
becoming known throughout the world as a place of relkgious fanatics and murderors should have
the self awareness to be too ashamed to carry on.

Sir Walter Raleigh for me.

His bikes were cr@p back then and haven't improved much ever since!

you never had a chopper?????

Forgot about that one.
My daughter had one and I never saw another like it!
It was gold and had alloy wheels as opposed to spokes.

Just trawled through Google images and there are three with alloys, but not the same style as her's.

Anybody involved with horse racing.

Oh, and paedophile celebrities.

And Alex Ferguson.

Does Baroness Brady count?

does Shirley porter count ?

Sir Michael Jackson

It`s time the honours system was done away with. Nothing but a load of bollox. In answer to the original question, Jagger, a tax exile, should never have got one. Bruce Forsyth Nice To See You To See You Nice springs to mind along with Stoute but imo the lot of them.

The paedo ''sirs'' is to long to just name 3

Alex Ferguson

Bob Geldof is not a 'Sir'.

hth, as you kids say.

panglima........was also a non smoker but had worked in clubs where people smoked

Fred Godwin - the dipsh1t from the RBS


Goodwin's knighthood, awarded in 2004 for "services to banking", was "cancelled and annulled" on 1 February 2012.

Panglima  !
Now there is a blast from the past.

According to the Daily Mirror Tony Blair is to get a knighthood from the Pope for "services to peace"

What's wrong with that? The pope knows as much about peace as, well, Hitler, Pol Pot, IS, any conquistador you'd like to name, any known torturer or executioner from the inquisition, Franco, Mussolini, etc.
