Yet oddly gets the finger from the public as the Queen fails to read the room. rupertmurdoch

He should have received nothing

Oh, Your Majesty - what have you done?

That's a wrap, End this farce NOW.

I thank Tony Blair for destabilising the Middle East and hope I live long enough to see him prosecuted for war crimes against Iraq. I've also signed the petition to have his honour removed.

I remember when the knighthood system had prestige and credibility. If this war criminal has one it is now the equivalent of 4 Yes’s on X Factor 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄

TonyBlair knighthood A war criminal that should be in prison, naaa it's fine, give him a knighthood instead 🤣

For lying abt WMD in Iraq that led to murders of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis by British Soldiers? and torture of thousands of Iraqis by British Soldiers which led to deaths of people like Baha Mousa?

Say what?...Tony the warmongering liar gets knighted?...

What do you make of the Queen then who bestowed the honour - all part of the rotten system

And no weapons of mass destruction

How sad that after all these years our Queen has barely put a foot wrong, but now makes this monumental blunder that could do serious damage to the monarchy,

I started earning the day i took the courage to give a try now im glad and looking good because I've found the best platform. You can also monitor your trading account and make successful withdrawal with rookiexbtrade

For sending brave British soldiers to their death and having thousands of Iraqi’s killed? Labour cannot be trusted every again.
