Knighthoods and all this other pompous crap mbe's obe's are a joke. Who needs some daft award which means nothing.
I would tell Lizzy like others have No Thanks love shove it up your ass. The sooner the better England gets rid of these toffy nosed upper class buffoons who think a hard days work is reading the Times then spending the morning shooting and swigging sherry then the afternoons bedding their relations and the evening at some ballet or opera not being able to understand a word but showing their face with the other Cuthbert's and Josephine's to talk about how their going to have a bet on Uncle Cyrils horse but only a mild £10k as mamma and papa didn't give them all this money to gamble with. And then spend their last hour of the day at home dressed in baby clothes having their anuses destroyed by an orange.
English snobs are the scum of the earth and should be weaned away to history.

Is there any evidence the lead singer of The Rolling Stones indulged in underage sex ???
I don't know what counts as evidence, there's been claims by groupies. Not in an accusatory way, more like fond memoirs. The lyrics to "Stray Cat Blues" would be a small piece supporting evidence, especially the live version where the girl's age was dropped from 15 to 13.
In America most states have the age of consent at 18.
Either way, if he happens to have remained innocent of the act (something I'm not sure many young men in that position would achieve) he was at least associated with the lifestyle.

CBEs and OBEs are supposed to be honours too, and the case against Led Zeppelin (especially Page) is more rock solid.

Anyway, I apologise for taking the discussion off-topic.

Marrying a 6 year old is alright for some, each to their own I guess.

Many people were against it, but it probably had more to do with who was up for an honour at the time.

The Balir Government was in power when Lewis retired, and the battle lines were fairly firmly drawn on the issue.
Lewis took a strong stance against the war, rightly in my opinion.

That would have made it hard for the government that was being heavily condemned on the issue, to publically offer him a knighthood.

Knighthoods are never"publically offered".

If you ever had to deal with these idle rich snobs you would understand me.
If you haven't then your world is a better place and prey it stays that way.
I have dealt with a few in my career and everyone is a spoilt obnoxious way out of touch with real life huge bottom burp.
I pains me when I see other countries thinking the majority of England is built of these sherry swigging plums in the mouth sphincters.
I know if your from Liverpool you have a scouse accent Birmingham the slow brummy accent etc etc but where does that plums in the mouth snob accent come from? no part of the uk as far as I know it is just put on snobbery which makes me puke.
Rant over. Peace.

I know plenty of people who speak public school accented English and more that speak with a regional accent.I judge them by their deeds, not by what accent they have.

I am pleased for you if they are good people. I find everyone I have had to do business with that has the snob accent incredibly ignorant and rude. Maybe I have met the wrong ones but I can only speak through experience.
