The ‘knighthood’ for this muppet IBS shows the honours system for what it is - rewards for the rich and self-entitled as well as a form of bribery for political favours.

They are nothing short of a disgrace.

Yeah and I bet all those petitioners are Remainers. FFS get over it. How many Remainers are currently sitting in the Lords and with one way or another getting money from the EU . Hypercritical w@nkers

The only Conservative candidate to lose his seat at the GE who was a Conservative MP before the GE was Zak Goldsmith. Now elevated to the House of Lords! So he won in the end a job for life.

You know all those people signing that petition are Remainers so don't act so thick . It's because a prominent Brexiteer politician being nominated that they object to . Where's the petition against Joe Swinson or any other prominent Remain backing people who have been nominated . ?

Start one if it bothers you. Think most people are over it now, time to move on.

It doesn't bother me but it obviously bothers the 200.000 people that object to IDS nominated Knighthood.

Wow! What an incredible piece of information signed by approx 0.3% of the population, does this startling fact therefore say that 99.7% either don’t care or support him. Statistics can prove anything. Not quite sure of the connection to Leyton Orient but suppose IDS is MP for Chingford and Woodford which is quite close.

Happy New Year
