It stands alone really and says enough for itself.

 

[Wozza]

Disgusting, obviously.

 

[raymondo]

Crikey... nothing much played with a straight bat any more

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Fantastic and well deserved obviously.

I met him once in Adelaide

I asked him should Alan Wells play for England?

He politely said no

Great cricketer

 

[Giraffe]

Well deserved. Who deserves a peerage more than Beefy? Done loads for this country - in sport and then for charity. Wonderful man.

Great cricketer

I met him once at a local cricket club dinner.

I said pleased to meet you Sir Ian,

He ignored me.

Great cricketer.

Don't begrudge his knighthood for his playing career and charity work but a role in the upper chamber of Parliament? Really?

Ah well

He couldn't ignore me

I was buying his book at the time

No idea who he is or what this means but he’s a good looking fella. If anyone should have some power it’s someone who can pull this off

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Does he still live in Spain?

Don't begrudge his knighthood for his playing career and charity work

Seemingly that's not why he's getting it.

Hope his phone doesn't get hacked again.

It's Boris Johnson

Prime Minister of Great Britain

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Legend cricketer, done a lot for charity. Deserved his knighthood. Making him a lord is just bonkers.

Well at least 1 person is benefiting from Brexit.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ah well

Crawler!

 

[JC Footy Genius]

An excellent choice he has a good record at Lords

Seemingly that's not why he's getting it.

And that for me spoils the award when the award is seemingly given for a political stance.
