I have to admit it did provoke a Victor Meldrew moment, albeit an expletive ridden one.
For one glorious second I thought he might have been dispatched to Moscow - to tell the Russians to ‘shut up and go away’ again - or bitten by his pet tarantula - he honestly has one...it’s called Cronus after the King of the Titans and the God of Time who was said to have castrated his father and eaten his own children - which should tell us a lot.

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?
Honestly my first thought was of you, jointly with nearly crashing on the inner ring road as I tried to process the news.

In the real world - yes we should, ‘we’ would but ‘they’ operate in a different world. Such injustice is at maybe 30 on a scale of ‘lost the plotness’ that has Ras Putin at 100
