To think Prof Chris Whitty deserves a knighthood

[Lemonwoe]

For his dedication to the country for the past 18 months.

I also secretly find him a bit attractive: reckon it’s his humble intelligence

All he’s done is his job.

YABNU. He always seems like he doesn’t want to be in the limelight but does it anyway. When you see some of the reasons others have been knighted, he really should be recognised. I love him

All he’s done is his job
The same as every other knighted person then?
He’s done his job to an excellent degree under exceptional circumstances

He spoke at an event I was at on the day he became cmo. He never expected this job, none of us did.

I doubt dealing with a worldwide pandemic was in the job description! He definitely deserves recognition. I think he’s a very eloquent and intelligent man.

He is just a really nice man. I watched him in conversation on a RSM webinar recently.

I think almost all knighted people have pretty much just done their job!

He's done his job very well, even though it's not quite the job he thought he was taking on. He definitely deserves a knighthood IMO.

Absolutely agree.

Oh I love him, he'd be the perfect doctor, calm, intelligent, honest,
Dd bought me a mug with his face on for my birthday 💙

A year ago I would have agreed but after the revelations about the government using deliberate psychological tactics to scare the population into compliance I don't think any of them deserve commendation. He is a health professional first and foremost and should be calling out this kinds of unethical practice, which I have no doubt he was aware of.

Ah, there is a creepy Chris Witty Appreciation Society on FB.... making him out to be something he is not. YABU

I was thinking this about Tim Spector ( the Zoe Covid app professor ) only yesterday. He also has done an incredible job. I have nothing but admiration for him.
Chris Witty is impressive. He handles bumbling Boris so well at the press conferences.
I think they should both be knighted.

@EgonSpengler2020
IF true (pretty big if)... Then good on them. Get people to actually comply with the rules and take a frickin vaccination so we can get out of this shit.... so basically for the health of the country and the majority of people in it then fucking good on him!! That's his job. To provide for the country as a whole and steer us through the pandemic

Plus JVT, love his analogies

I think they should knight Matt Hancock.

Yes and JVT

I'd prefer it if we scrapped the honours system

@Blossomtoes

All he’s done is his job.

What a douche you are

He’s the kind of bloke who would turn it down.

@Odagled

I think they should knight Matt Hancock.

Only if we’re going to start awarding knighthoods for fucking up and giving taxpayers’ money to your mates.

Actually yes and I don’t think he “just did his job” no one signed up for this, th man has not just worked tirelessly he’s had his private life intruded on, he’s been abused in the streets, on th media. He’s been put under so much pressure, and not treated well by many.

What a douche you are

What a peach you are.

He’s great.

Can’t stand JVT, makes me curl inwards with cringe.

@Blossomtoes

What a douche you are

What a peach you are.

Ok

No, he does not deserve a knighthood. He is doing his job, and imo not very well.
