Thought it would get y'all going!
Knighthoods for men in suits about whom we know nothing merely continues the gulf between Us and Them
It got some going goodgoalie, the Honours have never bothered me and I love to read of those who work hard for their Communities getting a mention.

It's a long but interesting list for sure.
Thanks to ichkeria, anneasquith,tony,Unsureme and Baldric for making me laugh so much, I had a coughing fit.:-) x
Attitudes to the Honours List are the same every year and revolve around two points of view -

You are delighted because someone you believe deserving was rewarded,

or,

You are annoyed because someone you think deserving was not rewarded, but someone you think undeserving was rewarded without justification.
These honours are fixed. I notice that Nigel Farage wasn't made a Dame.
I expect he'll be one in the next panto season.

I've no problem with some sportsmen/women getting awards, but I think they should wait until they retire. They were far too quick in giving Bradley 'TUE' Wiggins a knighthood.
If an Earl was awarded an OBE, would he become an Earlobe?
