Lord Levy & The "Honours" System

So our Prime Minister maybe interviewed by the Met. over the "cash for gongs" affair. Personally, I think all three main parties are as bad as each other. My take on our so-called honours system is very much in line with these comments taken from an anti-EU campaigner...............................


I've had time to go through the full list of Honours given out earlier this month:


This year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list (drawn up by the pro-EU establishment, politicians and civil servants and not by the Monarch) includes awards for cheesemakers, the ape alliance, beekeepers, a fish and chip shop owner, bowling, brass bands, fencing and carrot growers. There are Honours for people working with the EU and for organisations that are part of the EU ‘regionalisation’ policy to break up the UK (of which the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament are a part). And there are lots of awards for ethnic minority organisations – many of them funded by British taxpayers’ and council taxpayers’ money.

But, as usual, the pro-EU establishment has made sure that its list of Honours is typically politically correct and includes no awards at all for any groups or organisations promoting Englishness – and there can’t be any awards for anyone working for an English Parliament because there isn’t one (and the anti-English Labour Party intends to keep it that way).

Quite disgracefully, the anti-EU Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) of Dr. Paisley was, for thirty years, snubbed by the europhile establishment – denied even a single place in the House of Lords (and no Honours). Only after the DUP won half the parliamentary seats in Northern Ireland to become the fourth biggest party in the Commons (in May 2005) did the establishment relent and make Eileen Paisley (wife of the DUP leader) a Peer. For the anti-EU UK Independence Party – and any other anti-EU campaigners – there are no places in the Lords (unlike all the other political parties that won seats in the EU Election of 2004) and no Honours. Carrot growers, the owner of a fish and chip shop, beekeepers, brass bands and the ape alliance take preference over the millions of anti-EU people in the UK as far as the pro-EU establishment who dish out these Honours are concerned.

The following is a selection from the long list of Queen’s Birthday Honours published on 17.6.2006:
