It was starting to get embarrassing hosting the most prestigious tournament with also rans representing the country. Wimbledon is probably worth a billion or so to the economy over a decade and the justification for hosting it was getting slim. It has enriched Murray it's been priceless for the country and morale and even GDP. If that's not worth a knighthood tgen God knows what is. These things are handed out like confetti these days. Murray is no different to most other wealthy people http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/desperate-tenants-plead-andy-murray-3132786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynardgravy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 So the old bint who played mrs Bucket in that terrible comedy to become a dame, and some bit-part actress who 'stars' in Bond films gets an OBE (ticks the ethnic box). What a load of old shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that any recipient is sounded out first - you don't want too many dissenters. Keeps up the myth that only a couple of percent of the people want rid of the royal spongers.

As I said on another thread milking it. Wouldn't have made the news with an MBE accepted. Either turn it down quietly or say I'm not worthy. Not I am worth it but don't agree with the system.
