[Politics] Johnson's honours list

[kevo]

Disgraced former PM gets to reward those loyal to him, many of whom are implicated in partygate and mired in corruption. Nothing whatsoever to do with service to the country. Absolutely sickening. Viva la revolution.

I don’t mind having an honours system but its use is all wrong. It should be independent of the monarchy and government other than its funding.

Sir See you next Tuesday

 

[fly high]

Let's face it, it always has rewarded which ever xPM regardless of political persuasion. House of Lords been a sick joke for years. How many does it really need, should be one in one out.

Of all the suggestions I've heard for reform of the House of Lords (and it does need some reform, even though in spite of the ridiculous things about its make up, it actually does quite a good job) - abolish it? - no; elected second chamber - nah; proportional representation? - geez no, FFS! - your idea of one in one out is the best I've heard.

His honours list published on the day he resigns as an MP. You couldn’t make it up.

All this nonsense is another reason to turn down my knighthood when it comes…

 

[Soton Seagull]

An absolute cunch of bunts

 

[Silverhatch]

I absolutely hate/loathe this (version of) conservative government. They have completely f u c k e d this country.

Johnson's honours list​

The words
Johnson
and
Honour
in the same sentence.

 

[portlock seagull]

And I thought I already despised him.

 

[Mancgull]

They should be reversed.

Which version though? They seem to be 3 different parties within a party.

Brace yourself.

We've got Thick Lizzie's to look forward to.

Neither Blair nor Brown had resignation honours. 'Call me Dave' resurrected it. The useless tory twat.

wasn't that because Blair had the cash for peerages problem?

i suppose it says something that a wiff of dodginess meant not issuing a list, while now they dont care.

 

[johnny jigsaw]

The only surprise for me was that he hadn't knighted himself.

However, I have little doubt that his name will appear in Liz Truss' list.

Yep. The difference between propriety and brazen graft
