AVB Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I notice a lot of the England Rugby team also took the knee whereas the Irish players didn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Quote I would take it every time. 👍 It does beg the question - why? Do black lives matter more than others? If they don't - why the gesture. If you think they do - you are a racist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 According to the Daily Fail Lewis Hamilton will be made a Sir in the New Year's Honours list after clearing up his taxes. Guess Lizzie best start limbering up to bend her knee. The gongs given out for last ten years or so have been steadily getting worse, now they're no more than a popularity badge. It used to mean something, not anymore, is a lordship now the new knighthood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonmick Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 So mow all you need to get a knighthood is to earn bucket loads of cash and life a luxurious lifestyle ìn another country with a pop star on your arm.driving the best car on the circuit and then preach on about how he and his ethnic are oppressed. The honours system in this country is and has been totally out of touch with the real world for many years now and does not look like changing ever.

No different to the past where if you made the prime minister's favourite macintosh you scored a peerage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 As far as I can recall there are only four people associated with motor racing who have been knighted. Two drivers, one owner and one designer. Jacky Stewart and Sterling Moss, Frank Williams and Patrick Head. Regardless of your thoughts regarding Hamilton’s behaviour outside of the race track or his political views does anybody not think his achievements at least match any of those four?

The point is though, it's not about his obvious talent as a F1 driver, it's asking what he's done to deserve a knighthood, many on here don't believe being able to drive a car fast deserves that and I am in that camp, to me he appears a very self centred narcissistic person.

bostonmick Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Honours should be for those who perform acts of great humanity.and help others with no gain for personal circumstances.not for driving fast or throwing darts kicking a ball.whilst filling their bank accounts for doing so.captain tom did more at his great age than most of the other recipients have combined yet it had to be by public and media demand that he got recognised.
