        @BBCBreaking The honours list has become a joke full of 5 min celebs. An insult to those with a lifetime of achievement. #politics

        @BBCBreaking knighthoods should not be going to sportsmen or celebrities it just devalues the title even further.

        @BBCBreaking A joke. These 'honours' are an archaic system that favours so called celebs & 'personalities', not people who give/contribute.

        @BBCBreaking sorry but the Honours system is a bit of a farce. Gongs handed out like confetti.

        @BBCBreaking giving someone a knighthood is giving a credit card with no money in it.. Doesn't hold water. The entire system is fading
