Ah, New Years honours and that yearly list of who, why and wtf. The headline names are usually Olympians.
New Year Honours 2017: Olympic heroes and entertainers recognised - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38470732
- Knighthood for tennis chap Andy Murray.
- knighthood for runner Mo Farah (are we still racists for not voting him sports personality of the year...?)
- Knighthood for comedian Doddy Ken Dodd
- Dame for heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill
- Knighthood for dressage rider Lee Pearson
- Knighthood for Kinks guy Ray Davies
- knighthood for Opera Singer Bryn Terfel
And so on. How do we feel about the various people honoured and maybe you have opinions about the system as a whole; idiotic waste of time or quintessential British institution?
