Slaughter was another good one of course. Nothing beats mass murder to make one a hero to the side that you're on.
Most things we have can be regressed to their venial roots, but then one has to make the choice: reform them or scrap them.

An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

So you can buy yourself a peerage and get to vote on what happens in the land?
So when is USA going to invade to put democracy in place in the UK?
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Oh yes, just send a load of cash to 10 Downing Street.
I just wish politicians could understand that just because it is not against the rules it doesn't mean it is ethical practice.

As soon as I saw this on the news I thought two things.

I agree though, the whole thing is just wrong, and I'm not buying the "I didn't know" line either. The whole system needs a shake up along with all the other honours (that's right, with a "U"). Seems to me that you can get a MBE for helping old people across the road, and don't get me started about getting knighted just for making £20 mill per film.
And another thing, where's JAG
Re: Fancy being a Knight of the Realm?
hehe....I don't know who I'm gonna rant about when Tonys' shuffled off!
and leave JAG alone (my new buddy) he's chasing tail and getting hammered like all young men of his age do when they first fly the nest.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
