Congratulations to all those who have received honours in the New year for being outstanding in their fields.

Those who got a knighthood for donating £930,000 to the Tory party should hang their head in shame as they are devaluing the good work done by everyone else who has worked hard in medicine, sport or entertainment.



Whilst I think the honours system is outdated and no longer useful, I don't think it does any harm, so doesn't need to be abolished yet. However, political and government honours should be stopped as they are only rewards for cronyism.
totally agree its shameful of the tories to still be selling honours to the highest bidder so much for Mays promise to rid the system of corruption ! lets not forget Labours price being an expedient white washed report for a peerage
