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 |

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. |

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

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.) |
|
By:
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.

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

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. 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.

By:
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. |

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
