    Sir Kier Says Letting Tony Be A Sir is correct

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b1986283.html..

    I see 600, 000 disagree .

    Can imagine a few angry faces in the bowels of Labour ,looks like Kier is on the war path, perhaps Tony is coming back into the Labour fold .

    I'm not a fan, but to be fair to him, Blair was Prime Minister for ten years, and won three elections. Seems fair enough to me.
    I imagine there would be a similar vote if/when Teresa May gets put up for a peerage.

      This is plain and simple..The rich and powerful look after the rich and powerful. There is one exception because it's something so awful that the general public can't accept it without punishment. Pedophilia.

          Totally disagree, just because someone was PM shouldn't automatically qualify for a gong in my opinion. Also Tony leaves a very tortuous legacy for many. Yes this sounds like the elite looking after their own yet again.

            It will be Sir Boris Johnson a decade from now.
            The Honours System is an archaic waste of time.

              You think? I reckon Johnson will go straight to the lords. Lord Feckwit of Brexit.

                  Sir Tony is a personal appointment by the Queen, not one that's gone to committee for approval.
                  Agree with it or not, a petition won't change her mind.

                      Knight agrees with other bloke becoming a Knight whilst the Lord of Darkness Mandleson nods approvingly.

                        A good example of why we need to scrap the entire honours system apart from for "ordinary" members of the public who've done great things for charity etc.
                        No former PMs or other MPs, civil servants, party donors, businessmen and women, sportspeople, actors or musicians.

                          Absolutely right; however I'd go for getting rid of them together. People who do good don't need gongs, their conscience will look after that.

                            It's nice to give awards for good service, to recognise work and achievement and it could give some attention to a good cause. They're not necessarily bad things but the strange way we do them tends to show what we're like as a country. The important, fancy people must be clearly labelled and take their place in the fairytale hierarchy. The names change to distant everyone from the hoi polloi although some wear the "honour" lightly.

                              Sorry don't agree. They are a source of corruption and hubris. Who on Earth needs recognition for doing good? It's reward enough in itself.
