Thanks Bozo, adds to the gaiety of the nation I suppose. That's laughing AT not laughing WITH. AIBU to say this is just the cherry on the cake with the MPs salary increase?

He must have some amazing dirt on boris.

Dishwashersaurous · 03/03/2022 17:27

Honestly. As a nation we're now being trolled by the Government

It’s definitely cheered Twitter up a bit anyway.Grin

Was going to post exactly this.

Hard to imagine with Johnson being such an honourable man Hmm but presumably Gavin knows something.

For services to educational chaos and arachnid menace, clearly.

Thedogscollar · 03/03/2022 17:36

Good God I thought this was a joke
How on earth can even BJ think he deserves this.
For services to what exactly Shock

I never really understood the idea behind the honour system but at least normally you have people where you think "yes, they did something decent".

This is just making a mockery out of it.

thedarkling · 03/03/2022 17:41

This is completely random and also hilarious. What on earth has he done to deserve a knighthood! Mind boggles with what he might have on Boris. Although I tend to think if there was super major dirt, Cummings would have released it by now. So maybe just the big standard corruption and law breaking that he's getting away with.

Picture this if you will..this morning overly menopausal 50 yr old in kitchen in dressing gown with coffee spilled on it seeing this news,She stands up screams out loud kicks the washing machine in temper and breaks down in tears! She has come to the conclusion that you only ever get rewarded for shafting decent people,for lying,for being incompetent,There is nothing honerable in this award,This is not a cause for celebration,its a down right disgraceful decision. She shakes her head woefully and goes to get another bag of peas out the freezer,(which in a month or so she wont be able to have turned on but thats a different story caused by similar feckless fuckers ineptitude to plan our countries energy stratergy) to put on her swollen toes! There is no decency,or justice in this world.

The most wankiest Ed secretary ever.

TyrannysaurusXXrightshoarder · 03/03/2022 17:49

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the FUCK?

eddiemairswife · 03/03/2022 17:50

I have emailed my MP to express my disgust.

Well, I mean, I take your point (see above), but I do feel you’ve forgotten Michael Gove there……..

Unbelievable.

TyrannysaurusXXrightshoarder · 03/03/2022 17:52

If there was ever an argument to dismantle the ‘honours’ system, this is it, surely? This and the Blair creature.

NiLunNiLautre · 03/03/2022 17:54

Is there a change.org petition about this?

BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation · 03/03/2022 18:05

Signed!

ValerieCupcake · 03/03/2022 18:10

Completely outrageous, all this fool has ever done is completely fuck up everything he gets his mitts on and he is knighted? Surely time to get rid of these pointless and as we can now see worthless honours, if our Gormless Gav can have one, Stan from the chip shop should get one too. He's of much more use than Williamson.

FlowerArranger · 03/03/2022 18:12

@PurpleDaisies

He must have some amazing dirt on boris.
That was my first thought.

AFTER I checked today's date.

No, it really isn't April1...

Sir Gavin, seriously? Obviously has dirt on Boris and the Ukraine crisis is being used as cover to slip this out, but Boris just doesn't seem to learn. It's one thing after another after another where he thumbs his nose at the electorate and shows he's living in an elitist bubble. How many ordinary people, whatever their politics, will support this?
