>Tony Blair, a Spice Girl, and an 11-year-old boy are also honoured
No small dig from the Beeb there
Blair deserves it given his 13 year Labour government. Kudos to the man for making our party a winning machine.
Vanessa Redgrave accepted a damehood (or whatever you call it)?
Are there any Trotskyists left who haven’t gone over when given the chance? Goes with the territory I suppose.
What’s interesting is Blair’s Knighthood appears to be the honour given by the Queen herself, not on the recommendation of Ministers.
Lends more fuel to the theory something is up with the Queen if she feels she wants to do this now?
Geoffrey Cox got a knighthood for parliamentary and political service…
Whitty’s and Van-Tam’s honours made me happy, great news to end the year!
Haven’t clicked on the article, but congrats to Dame Steve Redgrave I’m guessing.
If anyone deserves this, Chris Whitty does. Good on him.
I don’t get why people are getting annoyed about the Blair thing: if anything he’s the only worthy on that list. Being a war criminal should be a prerequisite to be a *Knight of the Empire*.
Fucking Tony Blair. Brilliant. Thanks for all the debt, the wars, and the resulting terrorism, you war criminal wanker.
What a weird thing. Here’s a gold star and a silly name. Plain weird.
Christ. A war criminal getting knighted. That’s the world fucked.
We’re these guys not in charge as the UK clocked up the highest death rate in Europe from covid? We did objectively worse than everybody else, shouldn’t be rewarded.
Expose War Crimes – probable life imprisonment
Commit War Crimes – Knighthood
I’m surprised there is no petition on petition.parliament.uk to have Tony Blair’s honour revoked. I would add my name that one.
Sir Jeremy Corbyn is also deserved. (If he’ll accept it).
