It'll probably baffle everyone in Leeds why Kev hasn't recieved one, the same as it baffled Blackpool folk why Jimmy Armfield didnt receive a knighthoodAt last both recognised for their efforts for charity towards MND.
Still don’t understand what Kev needs to do to be recognised as Sir Kevin?
Tut tut Wiz, gaining political points on a subject concerning an individual who has given his all in support of funding MND.Haven't given the money raised to the Tory Party. See Liz Truss' resignation honours.
You know I'm right.Tut tut Wiz, gaining political points on a subject concerning an individual who has given his all in support of funding MND.
Poor form.
If you have to fly the red flag as you always do, and this time in relation to the honours system, start another thread.
............awaits the usual response.
Watched 7 in 7 in 7 earlier. The blokes a legend. Anyone with a brain and a heart can see what an outstanding human and friend he is without getting some shitty honour.At last both recognised for their efforts for charity towards MND.

It's pretty straightforward.
Knighted, internationally significant (Bill Beaumont leads World Rugby)
CBE, nationally significant. KS has been incredible, but it's entirely UK related. They are pretty rare to be fair
OBE regionally significant (or equivalent)
MBE, locally significant (or equivalent)
It's not some form of conspiracy, there's an independent panel who look at it.
Yes there are political appointments which are very uncomfortable and spoil it for the rest of the people who have been nominated by someone else to receive an honour.
The vast majority of recipients are unknown to most people outside of their small circle of friends, family and people who are beneficiaries in some way of what they have been awarded for.
And to be honest, I know 2 other people with MBE's, and none of them use it gratuitously.
The time I use mine most is when writing a reference for someone as it adds a bit more credibility - and a couple of times for work related stuff. I don't have it in my email signature for example so it's a deliberate act to use it.
In everyday life; not at all.
I've no idea about the this and wrongs of it; but World Rugby is internationally significant and that's why he'll be knighted.Well thanks for that. Couple of thoughts; rugby Union isn’t a significant world sport. It’s played in more countries than League but nowhere near as many as say even badminton.
And do you think it’s appropriate to add a bar to a knighthood in the middle of the ongoing issue around CTE? As you say Beaumont leads World Rugby so he is ultimately responsible for the response.
