Three MPs who have been embarrassed over their use of the Parliamentary expenses system are knighted in the New Year honours list.

 

:laugh: Amazing

Read the daily torygraph article,and as dismayed as I am , I sadly don't find that I'm very surprised !.

 

Seems to me that powerful jobs & positions not only attract high salaries, but also attract recognition from not only the government but also from the people who are responsible for organising the New Years honours list.

 

Old boys club springs to mind !

 

Must be great to have been born into wealth & privilege,because let's be honest , even without the education & hard work, you made it in life providing you keep wearing the old school tie.

 

Bit different from those working class folk who for no fault of their own become unemployed but still have to find a way to feed their family on benefit money !.

They give them away on the back of corn flake packets nowadays. Dislike the queen , she needs to retire doesn't live in the real world

If such people are being awarded them then its simply devaluing them.

Bill Bratt got owt?

 

There is a rumour that he got an honourable mention.... from the cack kickers and scum suckers

Does anyone really take the honours system seriously these days? Pleased for those who have earned theirs and don't give a monkeys about those who have not

 

And let's not go on about those born into wealth etc compared to those ordinary working class people...compared to many millions in this world all of us in the UK are born into a priviliged position

Nothing wrong with women being honoured.

[paultvale]

Quite, they`ll be giving them the vote next! :)

But perhaps a bit wrong, when it`s engineered to be so to look modern and cool and obliging.

[Guppy 4 England]

As Paul says it's pathetic. Some of those women have hardly contributed to society or their field. I mean Karen Brady ??? Wtf

[For Us All]

Well deserved CBE for Julie Bailey from Stafford for her work on Cure The NHS.

[Guppy 4 England]

Never heard of her.

[For Us All]

Never heard of her.
