But then you're not a Hollywood film producer or a British Cabinet Minister, are you?!!
Talking of cabinet ministers, did you see that Nick Clegg got a knighthood? This is the man who formed an alliance with David Cameron, the man whose overblown hubris brought the country to the mess it’s in today, and in doing so virtually destroyed his own (Clegg’s) political party. If he had a shred of self respect he’d refuse it.
For those not familiar with our ‘honours’ system it’s a farcical event that happens at this time every year where ‘deserving’ people are given awards which are handed out by the queen in an equally ridiculous ceremony. Apparently the bulk of the awards go to people who, it might be argued, genuinely deserve them, for reasons such as services to charity etc., but obviously the focus falls on well-known people who have by and large spent their lives raking in the cash doing jobs they love (e.g. pop stars for services to music). Some of the more egregious awards in previous years have gone to the queen’s personal dresser for god knows what reason, and David Cameron’s barber for ‘services to hairdressing’! Laughable.
(Sorry - this must be one of the quickest ever hijacks of a thread!)
