[PeteXXX]

A worthy choice, some say.. Others my disagree with it.

What say the CC Massive?

Wasn't this the subject of a CC investigation a while back?

Yet another watering down of the Knighthood system.
What has the rich kid done apart from drive a top racing car, fast?

Thank god for that, the original name and avatar, my mind was still translating BB into Rocky whenever I read your posts.

My New Years wish is that Mad Doug comes back too

I'd like to think that it was for his outspoken stand on inequality, but I somehow doubt it.

 

[vickster]

Who thinks he might now move back to the UK from his Monaco tax haven to show his appreciation for his knighthood... ?

 

[newfhouse]

He’s been given it to distract attention from the time servers and party donors similarly rewarded.

Seems to have worked.

Pre knighthood, yes..

 

[accountantpete]

Oh God he's going to have to kneel yet again!

 

[Beebo]

Good. He deserves it.
If the honours system relies on everyone having to be perfect there would be very few honours awarded.

 

[Milkfloat]

Of course he does not deserve one, very people who just do their job well should get one. However, the whole honours system has been majorly flawed for decades so let them crack on with it. If you stand back and look at it, often the people receiving the gongs are exactly the sort of people I would want to be warned about in life, so actually the whole charade can be positive as an early warning system of whom to avoid in life.

"Arise Sir Tax Exile" as one headline put it.
