    Lol. Hardly just for me, but I’ve signed it! It’s complete madness isn’t it? Has there ever been an example of such blatant nepotism? Thought about starting a thread but honestly...it just defies belief imo.

    Personally I'd see more value in stopping a PM who has resigned for the reasons he did from dishing out any honours, will Liz Truss get to do it too?

    Ridiculous. But at very least yes there should be rules stopping you handing them to family members.

    Perhaps making his brother Baron of Marylebone was more nepotic?

    I believe Truss is to have the opportunity too...either way, can only agree with all you’ve said. How such a dishonourable person as Johnson can get to give out honours, let alone to his father, is just beyond me.

    Signed. "Papa" broke Covid regs twice, at least, and got away with it. Although I'm against it, I must admit that Cur Stanley Johnson does have a certain ring to it

    Agreed...but when those at ‘the top’ become quite so complacent about their nepotistic intentions I think we have a problem.

    I think there's several problems. I'm churning over ideas for a protest song. A possible chorus is...

    Vote for us and we'll use all our powers
    To take all your money and make it ours
    We'll do it with pride, do it with verve
    We've got the money, us you will serve


    Any verse suggestions welcome and those used will get named as co-writers .... and, of course, share in the huge royalties payout
