        If this carries on people will begin to question the worth of knighthoods

          Sir Merv might beg to differ.

            2011 New Year Honours list:

            Ex-convict Gerald Ronson – the great survivor of the Guinness share-trading scandal – is made a CBE. And there is a knighthood for Tory donor Paul Ruddock, who has given more than £500,000 to party coffers since 2003.

              Not only should he be stripped of his Knighthood, he should be thrown in jail along with a number of his peers.

                Aye, put him into the same cell with Tony Bliar and Gordon Brown.

                  I don't believe it will ever happen. Its all just hot air for the voters. They will find some spurious reason not to go ahead. More's the pity.

                    Just what this issue needs. A fooking Committee.
