New Years Honours

Recommended Posts

Is it just me or do other folk find the Honours System out dated - how the h*** can a cyclist get a Knighthood when there are more, much more people in the general community who get nothing. I can name a dozen or so folk who do so much for others and yes, saving life is at the top of the list i.e Lifeboatmen, Paramedics etc etc - these are the folk who seemingly get nothing. Sportsmen and Olympians - bah humbug.

Hook, line and sinker boys and girls!

These few celebs (sporties & lovies) represent only a tiny fraction of of those begging to kneel down before Betty Saxe-Coburg and Gotha or her dozzy eldest Chucky. The ONLY function of these events is to bolster the existence of the whole corrupt edifice by rewarding all those belonging to the ruling elite.

Oh yes, they usually nominate some goofy Loolipop Lady to keep the vile Daily Mail happy and by extension promote the view that the whole shoddy system is there to recognise the 'everyman'. It's all a load of boll*cks.

I say - applaud those who have seen through the ghastly con and refused to have anything to do with it.
