On that basis, have no problem with SL but think he should have been made a 'sir' based on his achievements. The scum who get them for political undertakings just tarnish and devalue honours for them to become almost meaningless. The guy who mis-managed the EU campaign gets a knighthood from his mate Cameroon. Just appalling and he should've said no, mindful of the impact on those who earned their well-deserved honour. A shameless scummer. ...and just to balance things out politically, didn't Howard Wilson give a gong to his housekeeper .... for doing housekeeping? Just a joke and brings the whole system into disrepute. .........but then he changed his name!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Congratulations to Mrs Colman and Mr Lansdown. I will now need to look up these CBE's and things and find out the differences. But marvellous anyway; good to see Queenie recognises that while Steve has a patchy managerial record he at least tries hard and has done an awful lot for Bristol et al.

WTFiGO!?! Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 If I fancy endulging empiricist nonsense, which I often do then well done Steve and Marina. Marvellous, toodle-pip and what have you. I'd rather endulge Pippa Middleton but this probably isn't the time or place. Thanks Steve for your finance, passion and time invested in City. I sincerely mean that. I could not personally live with that level of wealth alongside such levels of hardship and poverty and maintain my sanity, so it is also heartening to see that you can't either. You can not take it with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Most honours are a actually bought. Don't know how much an MBE or Knighthood is, but a CBE can be bought with about £1 million donation to the Conservative party. General form is that you have to buy your CBE before you can then buy a knighthood a couple of years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
