Why?
Why so many 'celebrities' and sportsmen 'honoured' in this way?
They're doing a job most would give their eye teeth to do, they're getting rewarded handsomely, they get pampered and feted at every turn and now this?
Honours for being famous
Imvho honours should go only to the unknown thousands of people who work tirelessly and with little reward (in monetary terms) to help and assist others.
So there.
Bah humbug!
