[QUOTE 4618597, member: 45"]Is Farage on the list?[/QUOTE] I would say that his name would feature on the 'tower' list.

I'd rather Farage got a gong than Posh.

I've been told not to say it.

Don'tcha just hate those traitorous scum who cast doubts on the worthiness of some of the recipients of New Year Honours?
Send them to The Tower I say.

I don't care what anybody has done, they don't deserve to be sent to Blackpool.

Think of all those self servers in the houses of parliament. Are they any more deserving than N Farage?

Good fitted boots stay firmly on your feet.

[QUOTE 4618558, member: 45"]It's a shameful scam. Honours for being a celebrity. There are thousands who do as much as or more than her but aren't fortunate enough to have got lucky in the celebrity lottery (or aren't interested in the shallow culture) so are invisible.[/QUOTE]
Are honours for being a sleb any different to honours for being a sportsperson, (just another kind of sleb), any different to honours for being a party donor?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

I don't think anyone should get an honour for doing their job and that includes celebs, sports people (including olympians), civil servants, leaders of industry etc et al. People who volunteer and give their own time whether it be for supporting youth activities, providing support for amateur sports or people like Marcia Shakespeare for her work on gun control, who was given an MBE, should be recognised and supported, IMO.

Yeah and soldiers should not get decorated neither. They are just doing their jobs after all.

Those wheels have an lot of spokes. And wouldn't she get dragged into the wheel by that dress?

Military personnel get rewarded internally, with promotions and awards, an equivalent of which might be expected in any other job. Just like this bloke, who, judging by all his decorations, must have single handedly saved us from oblivion. Maybe I should fire off an e-mail to him as well, @Pale Rider ? Do I have to pay my own fare to The Tower?
