    I can’t say I’m a fan of the UK honours system (or perhaps it’s more the false praise lauded on the recipients) but given the events this weekend I think this is deserved.

    Hidden amongst the celebrity bollocks – many of whom do actually get the gongs for charity work – and political nonsense, the majority of honours go to ordinary hard working folk who do a lot of good for their communities.

    The press tend to ignore that though, doesn’t get the clickbait haters clicking through.

    I take the view that it’s a flawed system but overall is a Good Thing. Like most of UK life, to be honest.

    Yup what MoreCash says, look at the list fully there’s some great recognitions in there.

    there is and the usual bollocks of people who are famous

    The honours system is a good idea but the implementation and the skewing of the choice of recipient is the real problem

    Its getting better but t is still deeply flawed.
