More on Honours

Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: The simple questions about the senior awards are:

Does the recipient of the title truly believe that they are better than anyone else because of it

Are they so deluded that they believe that their title makes up for poor work or underhand decisions throughout their lives

Do they not see that if a title is given to them for such bad performance, then the title itself is debased and deserves no special treatment

Do any of us treat such recipients any differently simply because of the title

And lastly, would we follow any of these "knights" or "lords" into battle because that was the criteria for such honours in the past.


Online Parliamentary Information Office and Yearbook: How many times must I read that politicians at all levels 'deserve' recognition through the honours system because 'they could earn more in the private sector'? Bunkum.  Let them attempt to do so; in the true private sector and not some sinecure provided by government and councils of all hues. Too many of our politicians have little or no experience of a real working life and wouldn't last a week in the private sector. There are thousands of real people who give their time and knowledge freely in the support of others.  It is they who deserve "honours"
