Totally corrupt system
Absolutely right mate ...WHERE'S MINE ?

Oh sorry my mistake .. what if I nip down to the Elm House and chat to the boys maybe that'll help ?
Many of these boys got gongs ...
The Elm Guest House child abuse scandal arose from claims of sexual abuse and grooming of children at parties held at the former Elm Guest House in Rocks Lane, near Barnes Common in south-west London during the late 1970s and 1980s. Prominent British men alleged to have attended the Guest House include former government ministers, senior MPs, top police officers, judges, pop stars, and people with links to the Royal Households.

One of my pet hates.  System is laughable.

There were PAGES of recipients in the paper.

Did we used to have so many every year?

Anachronisms that should be abolished.

Dame Barbara Fecking Windsor?

Hopefully in history that was seen to be the tipping point.
