well I jusgt dont think it is enough quite honestly
if you troop into the parliamentary lobbies obediently for 20 y you get a knighthood
another knight ( difft completely difft) said to me
thank you for NOT emailing me: "I know what you have done to get this!"
and I thought this old bagga has worked so hard for this and betrayed so many people and his principles it seems unfair to spoil his 15 mins of gloire.....
so for Harry B - I dont think it was enough

I quite agree, Peter, as I think I made clear in my first post. In the case of Rutnam, he didn't even have to troop through the Parliamentary lobbies. He got somebody else to do that for him (and take the flack when it all went belly up). All he did was undertook a number of well paid and secure jobs for less than thirty years and along came his "K". By comparison, he's not fit to clean Mr Billinge's boots (and that venerable gentleman would probably not trust him to do so anyway).
