Like the Oscars, it's become nothing but a farcical popularity contest. Lennox probably hasn't done enough arse kissing.
The honours do regularly annoy me. You'll find that pretentious, hypocritical yuppies like Bono and Geldoff get honoured but people who have actually done something for the country don't. We should start a petition as there are a lot of people who feel the same about Lewis not being knighted. It's a disgrace.
He's got a CBE, which is one below a knighthood (and he's got some recognition by Canada, who he represented at the Olympics). I don't see what the big deal is here to be honest. Everyone knows the honours system is a sham and isn't really done in proportion to people's achievements.
Knighthoods for black colonials? Who associate with wannabe be gangster like Frank and Eugene Maloney, never.
Don't agree with Terry Wogan being knighted either. Although at least he's worked and lived in britain for a few decades. Lennox moved over to Britain breifly to get the fans support and lives in America now.
