Brown, Cameron and May didnt get an outgoing knighthood

Brown became PM without having led the party through an election, and Cameron and May both stepped down.

Or, to put it in other words, none of them seen through their full terms after getting "elected".

Or to put it another-another way, see my post that you quoted.

It was a hung parliament, that's a stalemate.

She had to get the DUP to help her govern the country.

That will not stop them.

The Queen takes no notice of petitions.
This is ONLY HER decision, her conferring this honour on him.
It's the gift of the Monarch to give it.

So petitions are a waste of time.

Far better do a petition to stop anyone,( other than REAL heroes and as such being then worthy of recognition), getting these questionable honours.

Damehoods, Knighthoods given out like confetti and for what really?

David Cameron's hair stylist 'honoured' by MBE

The prime minister's hairdresser has said keeping his MBE nomination a secret, was the hardest month of his life.

Lino Carbosiero, who started cutting David Cameron's hair before he entered Downing Street. has been recognised for services to hairdressing.

He said the accolade had left him ''absolutely shocked and so happy''.

And he revealed the reason for changing the prime minister's parting, which prompted headlines in 2010 about Mr Cameron swinging from ''right to left''.

Sir Tony Blair


sounds quite nice

My Dad was a paramedic. He saved loads of lives, delivered lots of babies, put himself in danger to help others just like all of his colleagues. None of them have an MBE, a knighthood or any other kind of acknowledgement so I see no reason why this war criminal should be handed one.
