The British honours system is notorious for throwing up anomalies, ignoring the real heroes in our communities and bestowing knighthoods on drug-riddled pop stars and dodgy business leaders, etc, but knighting Iain Duncan-Smith is an outrage too far. Here's a bloke who has destroyed the lives of thousands of jobless and disabled people, demonising them along the way, condemning many to living on the street or having to resort to food banks. His legacy is a disastrous and unworkable benefits system known as "Universal Credit." He belongs to that horrid cabal of extreme right-wing Tories whose number one goal is to look after their own and sod the rest. God knows who decides on these honours lists, but whoever came up with this one needs a good kick up the backside.

Wot, no mention of compo or little hughie grant. No anomalies this year.
The awards went to people we can look up to and use as role models.
What a great year this has been!
All the treacherous MPs sent packing!
Compo sent back to his allotment!
The EU told to take a hike!
Best of all, the leftie screechers annihilated in the polls.

So, Bonzo, you are assuming that the people who come up with these lists are infallible. Speaking ex cathedra. The Pope would love you. Would you care to know that Michael Foot was repeatedly offered a knighthood/peerage but consistently turned them down?

Don't you love all of the sore winners in the world today? Still running their old races because they can't believe they fooled enough people into voting for them that they never feel legitimate?

A friend of mine said that the award of a Knighthood to the foul, pus-filled zit on the face of humanity that is Iain Duncan Smith “Is like giving Satan a Good Boy Badge for pulling the wings off flies and setting fire to little kittens”.

Couldn’t put it better myself.

I accept your non acceptability, so I expect you to accept my acceptability - that's called democracy.

You show a total lack of understanding of democracy.
1) Leave won the referendum
2) Leave won signing article 51 that an overwhelming majority of MPs of all persuasions supported
3)Leave won the 2017 election
4)Leave won the 2019 election by a spiffing majority and corbyn the commie clot was vanquished.
Just because your side of the pond cannot accept Trump is the lawful president you seem to think your disbelief will alter outcomes in the UK.
I have news for you! Screeching "unfair" and "not my Prime Minister" does not change outcomes.
The British people demanded Parliament honour the sovereign will of the people. All those remainiacs that begged to differ got trounced in the election.
You can bend and twist the outcome to your heart's content. Being cast into th wilderness merely ensures no one is listening.
Ain't life GREAT!

This thread has SFA to do with Brexit or the elections. It is to do with a disgraceful administration honouring a disgraceful person. I suspect the person trying to detail it will be the first to whinge if his attempt to subvert the thread is deleted. If it is not deleted I need to point out that I and over 16 million others are people and what is happening is not our will at all.

John Bercow snubbed in the NYHL, the first Speaker in 230 years not to be offered an honour after stepping down. Can you imagine the hysterical shrieks of "Anti-Semitism" we'd be hearing from the Tories, their pet publications in the MSM, and by their dupes on this forum, if it had been a Labour government, led by Jeremy Corbyn, that had snubbed Mr. Bercow in this way?

John Bercow bent parliamentary procedures to frustrate brexit, to the extent of ignoring his own advisors. There would be an outcry should such treachery be rewarded.
From the Guardian:
"John Bercow was widely reported to have ignored the considered advice of the official guardians of the rules of procedure, and allowed a cross-party amendment tabled by Dominic Grieve to be voted on."

“The political impartiality of the Speaker is a key feature of the office, while the role’s authority has developed over time alongside other procedural reforms” intones the Commons guide to the office of Speaker. It’s one thing to stand up for backbenchers against a powerful executive. It’s quite another to use the office to advance a political cause.

And of course the poisonous dwarf has been the subject of many un-investigated allegations of bullying.
He is definitely no gentleman and deserves no gongs or baubles. In earlier times he would have been terminated.

Looks as though The Rochdale Herald has got a good handle on things...

A spoof ‘newspaper’ of course but, as the old saying goes, “Many a true word spoken in jest”.

You are wasting your time Backwoodsman if he cannot even recognise, or read, that it is a spoof newspaper.

Come on, John. It takes a modicum of intelligence to understand a spoof newspaper article. You didn't really expect our resident right wing bots to understand it did you ;-)

Well, bearing in mind that I told them it was a spoof, I thought that even a bunch of Dumbfucks like them would get it. But when all’s said, they fell for the BrexShit-Horseshit, so I guess I was expecting too much from them.

You can’t educate pork.

I need to point out that I and over 16 million others are people and what is happening is not our will at all.

But as you are in a minority, the will of the democratic majority will prevail. Tough shit for the losers. Your flaming and trolling is all to no avail.

As Joe says the nice people will be nice and the nasty people will be nasty. It requires no skill to see the camp backwoodsman, shaw and the gnome fall into.

the will of the democratic majority will prevail

It will and it has. It is still not the mythical "will of the people".

It takes even less skill to see who does more trolling and flaming and cannot even come up with an original argument. Did Britain First forget to muzzle their attack dogs when they scored their temporary victory? It looks that it.

Still can't figure how 17.1 million equates to a majority of 66 million.
