No Gong For Farage

[brainiac]

Nada for poor Nige, but Ian Duncan Smith gets a knighthood, and Elton a Companion of Honour

[douglas9401]

Big 404 on the link.

Maybe somebody could get Nige a gonk instead.

[bookbinder]

If Nigel Farage did actually get an award, what should it be?

[gulliver1]

16.56. JNO . Do you think Boris will give Jennifer Arcuri one then , when it comes to his turn ?.

[TonyV]

jno think link is closed know comes up with 404 error

[theshedman]

Don't think I have ever known anyone so obsessed with someone as much as gulliver is with Boris. He trys to mention him on just about every thread he goes on, even Tv ones. It's like a teenage crush. The election is over try and give it a rest for a while.

[Mamyalynne]

Of course it's closed, Cabinet Office have apologised for the release.

17.17 , he is a funny little man though , I just can not stop laughing every time I see him on TV. Reminds me of Tommy Cooper, "just like that then".

[Peter Pedant]

So Nige and, de facto, Tora Tora Tora, are not on the list or the address list - phew......we are spared.

"No Gong For Farage" - and no sign of those who only recently insisted that Boris was offering favours for favours.

// "No Gong For Farage" - and no sign of those who insisted that Boris was offering favours for favours.//

Bong! nope
doesnt follow I am afraid it is my duty to point out - the fact that farage didnt get a gong does NOT prove that Boris was not a favour offerer but only that he didnt to Farage - odious little skiver

[grumpy01]

As I read in the paper recently what about Baron Beast of Bolsover that has a ring to it.

[naomi24]

pp, take a breath. You've lost the plot again.

[JimF]

"Musician recognised alongside stars of sport, politicians and hundreds of ordinary people"

Yep, celebrities really are better than us "ordinary people"!

[grumpy01]

Is it Ian Duncan Smith or is it Ian Duncan-Smith?

[douglas9401]

More bling for Elton in honours.

'There will be hell toupee' states Corbyn.

[naomi24]

Grumpy, Iain Duncan Smith.

[grumpy01]

Presumably adds middle name to differentiate with a certain Rhodesian of some years ago.

[Peter Pedant]

yes no
some people have two surnames
= a surname made up of two proper names and no hyphen

I think - I dont pay much attention to this sort of thing
