Saw the thread title and thought, obviously, "how brilliant". Next thought, however, was to wonder how long it would be before someone came along to cast a few subtle (or not so subtle) bits of character assassination or just protestations of her general unfitness for the honour. Open the thread. Pleasantly surprised by first three posts, and start to think I am an evil cynic who should not be allowed to form any over generalised opinions about the obviously generous and fair minded individuals who nonetheless take issue with any gender critical viewpoints which may arise on this board. Post four. Oh well, as you were.

From someone who lived near her 25 years ago, no less. I wonder what Sharron did to upset the neighbours. I bet it’s got something to do with recycling

Well done Sharron. Thanks for bringing so much visibility to this issue.

I lived near Ms Davies for many years when she was married to Derek Redmond. As I was always taught "if you can't say anything good about someone, say nothing" I shall leave it there.

But you did say something, didn’t you?

so you don’t like her personally, so what? She’s being ennobled for her advocacy and for protecting women’s rights, particularly in sport. I don’t think the committee canvases the opinions of old neighbours but you could always write to them and let them know you don’t like her if you think it’s significant

Great!

Huh?
But you thought you'd come and post that?

Excellent news. I was a swimmer in the 70s and 80s and the injustice of Sharron competing against the Eastern Block swimmers really switched me onto injustice. She is also a massive voice of reason on many issues.

Brilliant! I'm not into that sort of thing but would rather these awards went to someone who has done such good for women and children (and sport) like Sharron than some other luvvie type.

lovely news. Makes me think someone in the awarding body must be GC….

Brilliant! I hadn't heard.
