But seriously...why? I know we’ve fallen low enough to have dangerous idiots in at least three of the four great offices of state but ‘Sir Gavin’?
Sacked by May as Defence Secretary...for the leaking of information. Sacked again last year...after proving to be arguably the most incompetent Education Secretary of all time...so who thought, I know, let’s give him a Knighthood?
In the real world...don’t we aim to reward people for doing a good job...not for being incompetent buffoons? In the words of VictorA, ‘I don’t ducking believe it!’ You have to wonder exactly what he knows...and about who?
Im not sure about Cronus but croney(ism) for sure.
A "bloke in the pub" asked me last week to name the last British prime minister not to have been elevated to peerage / knighted following a decent period of "mourning" after termination of office - for which purpose we excluded Theresa May and Gordon Brown as the most recent incumbents within their respective parties. We came up with Neville Chamberlain..... who probably died before he would have got recognition anyway.
We then returned to our heated debate about why Blair's peerage has not been rescinded
On a more serious note, I suspect these honours are given for service, rather than performance and in the overall scheme of life are pretty meaningless.
Also bear in mind that Victor Meldrew received an OBE !
Honestly my first thought was of you, jointly with nearly crashing on the inner ring road as I tried to process the news.Quote:

Hmmm...and I bet you were laughing.Quote:

Laughing ironically, I think he’s as big a tit as you do.Quote:
