It's a desperate attempt by the PM to placate the frothing in the mouth right wing of the Tories.

John Redwood - really ? The MP described by John Major as a b@@@@@@.

With all due respect and being a massive cricket fan I find it ridiculous that Alistair Cook has been given a Knighthood when someone like Sir Kenny Dalglish has to wait so long for his.
Cooky has done a lot for English cricket, but when you understand what KK has done throughout his lifetime it pales into insignificance.

Hate the honours list for sports stars and celebrities. Should solely be given to people giving service to their communities by way of volunteers, charitable work etc. Danny Boyles attitude in refusing his a few years ago was spot on. The whole thing leaves a bad taste in my view and should be consigned to history.

I think KK's a great shout for an honour but is he eligible, being Israeli?

The whole thing is quite disgusting

All members of the Royal family eating Christmas dinner with the Queen have to be weighed before the meal.
They are then weighed afterwards as proof that they have eaten their full.



No Such This As A Fish.

Eurosceptic John Redwood gets a knighthood just before parliament votes on Theresa May’s Brexit deal. Pure coincidence. Nothing to see here at all.

Quite frankly, I would like to see the honours list scrapped.
Over a period of time, it has become a farce.

Nothing to do with Europe, it's for his history of voting against LGBT issues and for capital punishment.


....and generally being a ****
