So, the list has been published! Some deserved, some not; but its still imposed. Wouldn't a 'Strictly' style vote be far more in tune with modern needs? Using premium rate phone lines to do this, would probably even make a nice profit for the exchequer.
As it is, we have a list of executive choice heros, being given an outmoded medallion representing an abandoned empire, by a 'constitutional' monarch's 'ceremonial' lieutenant from a defunct county! The whole thing is simply just a joke. -------------------- Know your place!

Read the below from one of his "disciples" https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2...inheritance-tax It's old news, the 1907 Lloyd George Budget again! Don't worry, new wealth comes and goes in most Western economies, you must have heard the expression 'clogs to clogs in three generations'. -------------------- Know your place!
