The nutcases honours list

Establishment awards are now completely meaningless

Recipients get to act as permanent footsoldiers in the ongoing war against the people, by occupying red benches or other dubious power brokering committee seats, etc.

It is more evidence why Theresa May should not have been believed over Brexit.

She did not mean what she said about Cameron's awards. When she meant no-deal better than a bad deal, she cannot have meant it. When she tried to signal her virtue as being against a nepotist, we've found out she was one herself after all.

I thought Boycott was already a Sir?

Geoffrey Boycott 'doesn't give a toss' about knighthood criticism

a welcome addition to the Knights of the Garter

Yup.  A proper cricketer and a true great.  Not like today's soyboys ...

Molly Robbins should have have blabbed some more secrets in a Brussels bar some 6 months ago; who knows what else he might have received

The only thing she got right was Boycs.

The media going nuclear on him today. They slip this more important story off their main page...and yet they call themselves feminists..

Yup.  A proper cricketer and a true great.  Not like today's soyboys ...Yeah right a convicted Woman Beater....A bad tempered facker.

She really is an absolute crackpot.

am I missing something here? Boycott has done nothing for years,why get a Knighthood now?

He's 78, I think.  Maybe because he's getting on a bit, Terry?  Still good value with his cricket commentary too!

Yeah I agree,also how England to do with a guy like him now,its just the timing seems odd,should of been years ago if it was ever going to happen

fortunately the nutcase wasn't in power years ago, or we would all be eating moules marinières & speaking Flemish

Foook me Inj ,another Van load will be heading off

The most notable list I've seen regarding Honours is the one of people who have turned them down for various reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_declined_a_British_honour

With regards to cricket I think this guy got it right

Bill Woodfull, Australian cricketer; turned down offer of a knighthood for services to cricket in 1934, but accepted OBE for services to education in 1963 which he saw as more important work than playing cricket.

piers morgan pretty much nailed it. he was in fits of laughter at her list - she's given an honour to virtually everyone responsible for making a complete horlicks of the brexit negotiations

...Which tells you where her heart lay on the matter.

108 times she lied to The House. And she can now give out Knighthoods; i truly despair

Politics one of the few professions where you are rewarded for failure.
