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.

You think it's the royals that hand out gongs now?

Disgraceful! Knighthoods for Robert Mugabe
Nicolae Ceaușescu and Jimmy Savile but this is taking the piss.
