So what? I'm not in the least interested in what his father may or may not have done. Is this playing the ball, or the man?
Maybe we all need to look to ourselves, rather than reaching for a stone..... I'm not a fan of the honours system, particularly, but am not sure that we do much to further the cause of humanity by being snippy about folk who choose to play that game, often out of respect for the unsung backroom staff who deserve thanks, but don't always get it.
