I have long believed that Mr Blair has not dared to abolish the Honours System but has preferred to make it into a laughing stock.The only possible alternative view is that he actually believes that the large numbers of pathetic awards have not diluted the value to worthier recipients - which is pretty damning as far as his judgement as our leader is concerned.
Let us consider the typical knee-jerk reaction which dished out gongs to the 2005 Ashes winning squad like Smarties to toddlers.
'Egg on the face' would you not agree when you consider the weak-kneed capitulation of these so-called heroes in the worst England cricketing performance in my 55 years?
