what a depressing view. non-football sportman dont necessaryily earn large amounts, many arent even professional and thats only come about in the past decade or so. why no award them a free gong for doing well representing the nation? civil servents arent cronies of the government by definition, they get there and stay there indepedent of who is in government. some gongs go with the job, why does it bother anyone? i'd hazard a guess you dont know how the system works to say it warrants an overhaul. vast majority go to ordinary people for charity and good works, is that so terrible? maybe just anyone slightly famous cant have one?

She's late with her accounts. This implies nothing other than she's missed the deadline....as thousands of people do each and every year. Wrong, yes. The sign of an unsuccessful business, no. That's desperate journalism.
As an aside why am I defending Victoria Beckham and the honours system?

I'm surprised that Wayne Rooney hasn't been knighted for his services to Manchester and England

If they did it just for the money they would not be at the top of their chosen sport. It's not a job it's a lifetime of dedication to be the absolute best in the world. This is why these people get the awards they derseve.

Yeah, well we keep being told he is a world class player, maybe somebody has come to their senses and realise he really isn't.
The awards they deserve are the medals they win. Period.

Obviously not period because there are multitudes of awards given out after achievements. Suggest your playing devils advocate here because you are in a very small minority.
Seriously - what the **** has Victoria Beckham done get an OBE?

THIS.
Somewhat devalues the honours given to the deserving if they hand one to someone for being married to somebody famous and looking miserable

Bit harsh but I think some aspects do need an overhaul. The "E" in OBE, MBE etc is a bit of a joke, the Empire died long ago, its pretty cringeworthy
That said the way the country is going it may soon be Order of England, so maybe keep the "E" for a couple more years and see how things play out
