Really. Is this what the country needs ?

His dog is called Dilyn, not Dilwyn - a different name altogether. It means ‘to follow’, but the dog was already called that by the charity he was adopted from.

Thanks Casdon

I was confused, thinking Dilwyn must be the name of a crony of Boris's.

I see he's having another go at getting Paul Dacre through, after he's previously been rejected as unsuitable.

Maybe I'm naive but politicians should have no business handing out gongs to the people who are supposed to be holding them to account. Nor should they be hobnobbing with them on their private yachts or accepting the use of their Caribbean retreats.

Freedom of the Press is fine when it's about protecting the rights of citizens to hold the feet of their governors to the fire. It's not all right for global media barons to do the governing.

I never said Dilwyn was an unsatisfactory name being Welsh in origin. I can't help it that the Buffoon chose the name for his dog. Dogpile has several meanings other than a pile of dog faeces. One is 'a disorderly pile of people' which could well reflect this incompetent Tory government.

Do the people who are honoured with the Legion d'Honneur take part and have a decision making role, in the Governement???

No of course not, and nor do the thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of MBE’s, OBE’s, CBE’s, Knights, Dames, Orders of Merit, Companions of Honour etc

Comparing apples and oranges.

Even the French, those arch-republicans, have the Legion d'Honneur.

There is nothing wrong with the honours system, almost every country has one, it is just that ours is corrupt and outdated and needs revising.

Nominations must be taken out of political or individual hands, and while I am quite happy that a knighthood is the top of the heap. I think the title 'Lord', as an honour should only be used by people nominated to the second house for a fixed term and only used while they are active members.

I think that the House of Lords is very useful, especially its committees. There aren't many hereditary peers left and it would probably be a good idea to get rid of those. We do need a second Chamber to examine bills passed by the Commons. Life peers bring a wide variety of experience to the job.

It's disgraceful. Next on his list will be Sir Dilwyn of Dogpile.

There is nothing wrong with the Welsh name Dilwyn and there is no need to associate it with dog sh*t.

I think it’s a great idea from Johnson because it highlights how this time warped shabby system of bestowing honours, for dubious reasons, for what it is, and hastening the day when it will be abolished.

And his still unpublished, despite many promises to do so, Russia report. I would also like it to be revealed who exactly financed the Brexit campaign. Those things do not come cheap

The Russia Report was published in, IIRC, July 2020.

It can be accessed here:

And yet again...why was he in Italy visiting Lebedev's father who is ex KGB, without his aides when he was Foreign Secretary?????????

Johnson is one of the worst things ever to have happened to Britain. A corrupt sociopath who has charmed his way into every powerful part of this country. Cannot stand him. Or his father.

The honours system appals me. Why should people be honoured for simply doing their jobs? Or giving money to the political party in power? Or cutting the PM's hair (I think Camerons's barber was honoured). Any honours should be for those doing entirely voluntary work. The House of Lords is far too big. Some of them attend, get their allowance for it but contribute nothing. However I think there are people in the HoL who are savvy and do a good job picking through what the HoC sends them when new laws are being debated.

The whole thing needs to be discontinued. Over the years so many titles dished out to the wrong people, including 'pop stars'!!

According to Rachel Johnson, Stanley has done sterling work for the Conservative party and environmental issues. The family seems to have forgiven him for breaking his wife's nose but unfortunately since his son taints everything he touches, I doubt if Sir Stanley of Entitlement with be gracing the news any time soon.

I've also signed and shared on fb. It's up to 68K.

I'm surprised he's not suggesting that his dad should get a hereditary peerage - Earl or Duke maybe. How about Earl of Scandal or Duke of Dissemination?
