Title: Two Knighthoods
Post by: Scrumpy on June 08, 2022, 07:17:32 PM
David Attenborough was given another Knighthood today ..

Why  ,on earth, would a person need two.. !!
What extra benefits could be obtained by this ,other than recognition..  Which he already has.. Lovely guy.

Because this is a different, an higher honour than his 1985 Knigthood.

Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George.

I thought when I read this thread's title it was referring to Sir Patrick Vallance, who was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, an honour he now shares with such as Winston Churchill!

Next up, the same for the other Brother Grimm - Whitty no doubt? How about making it The Three Duds show by giving the man who forecast 4,000 Covid Deaths a day a bath too, namely Niall Ferguson - preferably of the 'acid' variety :wink:

What an out of touch cretin the UK PM has become!
