Sir Iain Duncan Smith

[Filo]

Gets a Knighthood, probably for services to exterminating the poor, what a disgrace and surely a jobs for the boys appointment!

[Campsall rover]

Exterminating the poor.
Come on Filo you need to back up a statement like that with some facts don’t you think?

[knockers]

Factsfactsfactsfactsfacts!
This must be the most used word on the forum

I think the fact that many people have died at the hands of his baby Universal Credit is facts enough

[tyke1962]

Absolutely staggering that this man has received a knighthood .

He wasn't even a particularly good Tory leader and is the architect of the Universal Credit scheme which has failed so many people .

It would only be bettered if Failing Grayling received a knighthood too .

The old boy network strikes again , these people have me choking back the vomit .

I find it staggering that people get so exercised over it, both side do this promoting and honouring failure of politicians. Does the system need changing, yes, will it? Almost certainly but not quickly

It's time these honours were banned for politicians full stop .

Far too much shenanigans going on here for me ...." you support me in the house on this Ian and I'll see to it you receive that Knighthood "

Haven't a problem with anybody outside of politics receiving honours but honouring politicians is highly questionable with regard to democracy .

Retired/retiring politicians would be OK for the service behind them but booting Morgan upstairs just to keep her in the Cabinet without standing as an MP is daylight jobbery.

I like the man and woman who fostered over 200 kids(not at the same time). Has he and she been honoured?

If the house of Lords was further reformed to be democratic with elected members there would not be a need for titles.

Not been much demand for Filofax since the 80's.
