People should not be made sir just because they are good at sport. Just shows how silly the honours system is. Maybe he’ll knock it back like the watchdog woman and the Hillsborough campaigner have.
Apart from Andy Murray (because no other British has gone to that level) and Hyacinth Bucket (the character that makes me laugh) I don’t really know what the rest have achieved … Who are they? Who are they?
I think all the reality stars from Geordie Shore deserve a Knighthood or a Dame-hood don’t you think so?
Lords, Ladies, Dames and Sirs… Surely the majority of us have grown past this eliteist nonsense. As for the ‘E’ for Empire in OBE and MBE, dangerously dated – the kind of rubbish that leads to the delusions of Farage and his group of loons.

Posh spice obe.
What a load of shite this list is.
She’s being honoured for her fashion work, which is actually really rather good. Her studio is in London and there’s quite a lot of investment in the UK.

Does her brand even make money? Rumours of bail-outs from her other half etc.
Didn’t realise people got awards for having a hobby.

It really isn’t. It’s a branding exercise with some (not very well paid) junior designers doing all the work and her coming in a whirlwind in messing it up then the real (i.e. qualified, experienced and talented) designers putting it back together again once she has left the building.
It’s a play thing and she is a mouthpiece/ marketing opportunity for others.
Not my view but the view of someone who worked there.
I think some people might be taking the award system a bit too seriously.
Ultimately it is a politician who decides who is awarded what, and that decision is heavily coloured by their own personal agendas.
Remember that brutal Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceau?escu was awarded a knighthood by the Queen, as was Robert Mugabe. Even the founder of facism, Benito Mussolini, was awarded a knighthood.
