Don't really mind. Seems broadly a good egg and a lot were badly advised and caught up in Ingenious (loool at that being reported as if they'd "won" their case) so given he's settled I don't mind it from that point of view.

IMO It's about time we knocked the whole archaic honours system on the head.

Tony fecking Blair? Can you believe that?

I'm all in favour of the person whose managed a school crossing patrol in all weathers for 30 years getting recognition here, but Tony Blair's on his way to the Palace when he should be on his way to Den fecking Haag!

Will the subsequent tea on the lawn prawn sandwiches and all that party, and travel expenses and hotel fees be paid by the recipients, Her Maj, or the tax-payers.? Just wondering...
