Careless Tories!

Well I’m in the media (albeit music but hey ho) and I’ve got to the bottom of it. Jobs for the boys/girls on behalf of BJ, very VERY poor vetting by the committee that ok’d it. Dames should IMO not be appointed til they look like hinge, bracket or both ie they should be of an age where they’ve delivered something. It demeans the status of those dames who got it on genuine merit in the past

Shouldn't that be true to Knighthoods as well?

Some of the characters who have one of them are laughable.
I was brought up under the stories of the knights of the round table, where honour/courage/bravery/servitude/ acts of splendour were the virtue of being one.

Now days you can be a Phil Green or Starmer where honour, trust or note worthy actions are distinctly lacking.
Like politics, the orders are tainted and soured by cads and nobodies.
You scratch my back

Agree its an anachronistic outdated system of patronage that should die out with the HOL and the monarchy!!
