Just, why?

No idea. I'm disgusted

Hedonism · 03/03/2022 22:41

It's just very wrong.

AdoptedBumpkin · 03/03/2022 22:55

It's laughable. Even his wife probably secretly finds it ridiculous.

He clearly knows where the bodies are buried.
Boris has a long history of valuing loyalty over competence.

What a bloody farce

TheHoptimist · 03/03/2022 23:03

Sir but not Lord
Rumour has it he was angling for the House of Lords

He’s got the dirt on Johnson’s Russian connections…

We all know why, and why now.

Absolute fucking joke

middleager · 03/03/2022 23:38

I'm fuming.

Another award for someone who could dish dirt on Johnson. Still, he's one of many who could, but nothing shifts our disastrous PM because they all lack any moral compass.

Gongs for politicians need to stop. Any honours system should honour the fantastic ordinary people quietly doing amazing things because it is the right thing to do.
Please consider nominating someone for an honour, it is easy to do.

Coffeeonmytoffee · 04/03/2022 04:45

Read the Carole Cadwalladr thread on Twitter. Allegations of it being connected to Russian stuff.
It’s clearly not for services to Education!
That of Johnson was up to no good with his wife.

The honours system is a joke.

Seems you need to be a complete shite to get a knighthood these days! Who knew!

Thewindwhispers · 04/03/2022 06:27

We need to stop treating people with knighthoods with extra respect. It is, and has always been, a thank you from the powerful to those who’ve compromised their integrity to shore up ‘the system’. The fsct that the government also throw a few knighthoods to admirable ordinary people shouldn’t distract from what it is: a cheap payoff for loyalty to power.

Totally. It's bullshit
