Should a man with a conviction (1988) for Domestic Violence be given a Knighthood for his services to Cricket?

Is it me or is the phrase 'services to..' just becoming,more and more,a euphemism for 'has made a good living from...'

In fairness, he did not say that and most of the reporters should be ashamed too for saying that he did.

Too many people get knighted these days anyway.
I'd save it for military, humanitarian and charitable honour or for outstanding feats of bravery or saving life.
Just being really good at your job in any other industry always sits oddly with me. Writers, actors, sportspeople, musicians... Nah.

God help us if you ever see Corbyn’s list of he ever made PM When this thread was started, it was tough to envisage how it could possibly be spun into a critique of Jeremy Corbyn AND deflection from/apologism for domestic violence. Hats off to you for such lateral thinking mate

In fairness, he did not say that and most of the reporters should be ashamed too for saying that he did. Yes he did. He said it on the Today program on Tuesday. & he’s said in the past that he’d have more chance of a gong if he “Blacked Myself Up” I’m afraid there is no getting over the fact that Geoffrey is a cnut. You only have to listen to TMS to know that.

It’s all me, me, me, I, I, I... Ok. I get that. But his analysis and insight is very good. I guess that gets my attention more than other stuff. No doubt, he is a marmite figure. But a cunt. That’s too harsh.

Dear oh dear That’s clutching at straws a bit like your opinion on brexit It's a simple question though even if you don't agree with my opinion on Brexit. Should I assume that you still think he should have had a knighthood for his charitable services even though if his personal life was basically a bit wrong (understatement)....?

You only have to listen to TMS to know that. Wish people would stop using abbreviations in their posts that most of us haven’t got a clue what it refers to. TMS is just the latest in a long line of them. RPMO having to google the meaning. PSSWTM FFS.
