Gareth Southgate knighted (P65)

[r.soleofsalford]

Only to Ireland?

Shit like this is why we f’ed off the UK and emigrated to Canada.

Don`t you mean `we fucked off the UK and emigrated to the 53rd state`

 

[Bettys Bell]

What’s happened to Kevin Sinfields knighthood ?.

 

[Whether or not]

A knighthood for constantly playing John Stones injured, and destroying Phil Foden’s confidence !

Don`t you mean `we fucked off the UK and emigrated to the 53rd state`

Oh, that’s just awesome Eh?

Really, you believe that?

Please explain how that is going to happen?

I’m interested to understand your perspective on how one Countey can invade another and convert them please?

About time, well done Gareth. Sir Gareth.

Makes me want to leave the country this does and go to Ireland. The honours system is a joke. I deserve a Knighthood more than he does for 11 years service to local government.

Gyles Brandreth on Room 101 ripped the system apart before it deservingly went in.

These awards are public lobbied, this country is a joke. A nanny state at that too.

I suspect the smarmy Tory supporting twat, Brandreth, only rails against the honours system because he's been repeatedly passed over. See below.

Foreign national can be honored Bob Geldorf being one example
They are not able to use the title 'Sir'. Foreign citizens occasionally receive honorary knighthoods or damehoods through UK orders; they are not dubbed, and they do not use the style 'Sir' or 'Dame'.

Sir Sheik Mansour.

[KS55]

why would he downgrade?

He already is a knight of this realm. Google it.
