Why does Mayor Khan deserve a Knighthood?? The system has gone mad.
Agreed, the man has done nothing for London except turn it into a tax earner to offset his inability to manage his budget.
On the other hand, he's been elected Mayor 3 times now. If he was so crap at his job, surely he would have been turfed out by now?
It's not like the Tories have got much high ground to stand on when it comes to awarding their cronies.
I've got no strong opinions on the awards system, I remember my father getting quite grumpy about it when he was approached to see if he would accept an MBE, he turned it down on the basis that there were others far more deserving - the point being that awards go to people to want to have them, you don't get awarded against your will.
There must be loads of people like my old man who have done loads of good for their community but don't want have a fuss made about it. Very British.
