Corrupt honours system in this country. Do really need it?. It’s not what you do it’s who you know.

If he deserves that then Kevin Sinfield should be placed in the House of Lords.

Hi he did f all.
Well besides 6 premier League titles 1 French title 1 Spanish title 2 fa cups, England captain, sports personality of the year which incidentally is voted for by the public.
Definitely a case of who you know and not what you’ve done.

Always like the awards handed out to the ordinary Joe/ person,they are more important to me. The old lady 55 years as a lollipop lady seems more relevant than a well paid footballer/ celebrity. Nothing against Beckham he has been a marvellous player and ambassador for his country, his charity work is commendable but he’s in a position to do all that because of his wealth/ celebrity status he’s achieved through being a top professional but I expect that of people like him because of the the position they hold. The old dear who’s probably struggled through life just like the rest of us yet giving back something to her local community over a long period seems more worthy of an award but hey it’s just my opinion and congratulations to Beckham on his Knighthood.

I’m not against the Honours System at all but am fed up to the back teeth with honours going on the nod to: politicos, sportspeople – and worst of all – actors and singers.
There are so many real people out there who work their guts out for worthy causes who get zilch because they aren’t famous.

Don’t forget the same award was credited to Jimmy Saville years before. On that basis, I wouldn’t even want it.
I wouldn’t want anything that was previously given to somebody like that. Forever tainted in my eyes.

The gong system is hideous ,civil servants see them as a right ,political parties use them to reward bribes.
The worst honours of all are ones we can’t have,King,Queen ,Prince ,hereditary peerages etc.What an abomination this country is at its heart1 user thanked author for this post.
