token knighthood

 

[dougdeep]

I'm amazed it wasn't taken away years ago.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Will the relevant Universities strip him of his honorary degrees?

Unlike the West to get it wrong. We have never supported such villains before, have we?

 

[Barry Izbak]

Do you think he gives two shits about this?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

He probably take it on a local village by ordering the slaughter of thosands of innocents to make him feel a bit better.

 

[Timbo]

He must be f***ing quaking tonight. He's lost his knighthood AND we won't let his cricket team come here. Thats showing him.

 

[Il Duce]

It's just playing into his propaganda machine. Complete waste of time. Do we honestly still think that our honours system has any meaning outside of our wee island? If that's the best we can do to help the situation then God help us - well more properly, God help the people of Zimbabwe. Unfortunately the only thing I can see working if is we somehow get a neutral country to bribe Mugabe and his henchman into retirement and exile. He deserves to die but I can't see any military action helping. Mbeki is a c unt too. f***ing pussy.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Nicolae Ceauşescu had one as well. Royalty seems to like tyrants.

Did Pinochet get one?

Unfortunately when Mugabe got his, the Government were already aware of the large scale attrocities alrady being committed.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Did Pinochet get one?

No.

But Mussolini did.

Always have done.

King Philip II of Spain got one - just before launching the Spanish Armada.

 

[steward 433]

So the country has been shit for a while then!!! Not just the last 20 years

What did he get his for? Standing up to Moscow while destroying his own country to help pay for his massive vanity project, his "palace".

A man who made Erick Honecker look moderate..

That is a classic

Can they actually do anything useful with this type of Knighthood?
