Should Tony Blair receive a knighthood.?

No he shouldn't

Again, retired PM’s are given a peerage not a knighthood

Harold Wilson. - Baron

Jim Callaghan. - Baron

Margaret Thatcher. - Baroness

I agree with Chewbacca Sun03 Jan-16:40:19.
My understanding is it is because of the Iraq war, not Diana's funeral.

No. Too much mystery surrounding Dr David Kelly.

I live fairly near the woodland where Dr Kelly was found. Right from the start there were inconsistencies which were never resolved. The paramedics who were first on the scene never really had their reports examined that closely.

The decommissioning of the Royal Yacht was started by the previous Tory government.
Neither Blair nor Brown was invited to that Royal Wedding.
If Blair hadn’t persuaded th3 Queen to return to London, I think we would be a Republic by now. There were plenty of other family in Balmoral to look after the boys, including their father, grandfather and a cousin or two. I think HMQ can be vindictive, sadly. She wouldn’t allow an old friend of Philip (can’t remember her name - Pat?) to receive a Damehood because there were always rumours.
Finally, Bercow should receive a peerage. The man was merely doing his job and May and Johnson were being ridiculous.

It should not be automatic that PMs receive a Knighthood at all. People this year who should receive recognition from our Queen - those that worked hard in their community, delivering food to those in need, providing hampers for Christmas - we have a couple in our community who started providing food to those in need and this has grown out of all expectations - you have to admire this young couple who encouraged us all to help! There are so many people out there that should be recognised. Also our local council were tremendous.

Rosina so you dont get Brown pontificating on a regular basis ? We do ,if he says FEDERALISM is the way forward again I will personally volunteer to muzzle him.He's been saying it since 2014 and now most of us just laugh at hi and his federalism ...anyway the labour party used to have a core policy of Home Rule for Scotland ....seems he joined his mate Blair in the tory lite party!

Very good point!

As long as they don’t give Boris a knighthood I don’t really care, there are plenty of other jobsworths that do get honors the whole system is discredited.

Absolutely not for all the reasons stated above. TB is largely responsible for making the entire Arab world hate us and want to kill us - and the final irony is that he became a Middle East peace envoy. How well that went too. A more insincere and self seeking individual I have yet to see in politics - and my blood boils when he keeps making statesmanlike pronouncements telling the government what to do.

The Queen doesn’t deny honours,

If peerages were automatically given to PM’s who left service or were voted out ( up to Blair) can it really be said with confidence that the Queen denied him one? I take little interest in that sort of thing but it seems rather petty if true.
Blair wasn’t a bad PM even if some of his choices had bad outcomes.

I agree. I do hope the present incumbent doesn't get one either...

No.

No. No. No.

He invited half the world to come to the UK, and they are still trying ... for godsake!1

Tony Blair should have been tried at The Hague for war crimes.

Totally agree with Iam64 on this!
No! He definitely should not recieve a knighthood.

No and double no. Throw him in the Tower.

It is wrong to assume anyone is entitled to one, they should be on merit only. And TB not getting one should not affect anyone else getting one.

The least deserved award ever was to Adele in my opinion. She had only been around for five minutes and sung a few songs. A lifetime achievement in the music industry is worth rewarding but she had not proved herself at all.

In answer to the question, no, certainly not!

No, simply because he took us into an illegal war, the repercussions of which still impact on us today.

No from me re Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron

Retiring PM’s are offered a peerage not a knighthood,

Wilson, Callahan, Thatcher .

Blair supported an elected upper house as did Brown, they were against appointed and hereditary.

No from.me also.
