chartpolski 23,350 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Surely the queens advisors would have told her to expect this backlash, or do they just not care what the people think ? Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Order Of The Garter is a personal award from the Monarch, nothing to do with the politicians , although the Prime Minister could advise her to not give it, but he won't . Cheers. I was under the impression that Liz couldn't stand the Bliars. That's what she told me anyway. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She could allways refuse to use the title "Lady" ? Of course she'll use it, and make sure everyone calls her " Lady Blair" Champagne Socialists love a title........

gnasher16 30,062 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Unbelievable really.....as was seeing many of the unknown no marks on the honours list......its just lowering of standards in general in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,350 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 These people live in a world where honour, truth, respect and all things that are "right" to normal people, have no meaning. Lord Archer, jailed for perjury, lying in court, still has his peerage. Lord Mandleson, sacked twice for corruption, and then made a lord. Theres many more. Its just a continuation of the ancient practice of giving out baubles to people who have done favours, and who use that bauble, a peerage, a knighthood , titles and letters after their names, to make contacts and make money. Throw out a few meaningless MBE's to the dinner ladies, lolly pop men to keep the proletariat happy, but keep the big prizes for your mates........ Cheers. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 7,957 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 The going rate for a Boris peerage is only £50000. Contribute this amount to the tory party and it's a nailed on peerage. That's democracy for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then you've got Prince Charles; £500,000 gets you a CBE, £1,000, 000 gets you a knighthood and a British passport if you're a rich saudi. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t really find that unbelievable though do you, it’s totally standard mate as you are well aware. I don’t suppose one person was surprised at the state of that list.

Yup, just checked the article I was reading Loyd George sold peerages for fifty grand in 1921. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
