invergowrie arab Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 They are a pile of nonsense but I can't get worked up by it. The whole point of them is to reward everything from cronyism to corruption. Any grown adult who wants a Wee badge and a medieval title is worth the watching.

Cream Cheese Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Anybody who wants "freedom of the city" in London is welcome to have it. They're also free to stay there and never step foot over the border ever again. (Unless there's another referendum, in which case they'll crawl their way back up here to point fingers and put us in our place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I've no problem with people receiving honours that actually deserve it (whether voluntary work or longstanding service to a certain industry) but it dilutes it when you give them to your pals and, laughably, the leader of the failed Remain campaign.

The one area where the honours system is an issue is the creation of non-elected Lords who can become part of the legislative process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Who is on the list? I would love one. I'd make this guy a pussycat with the amount of kneeling before me that I would demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
