Bad enough with Beckham but now all you have to do is host Strictly come Dancing !
Awarded not for charitable work but for “ Services to Broadcasting”in other words doing your job and being paid handsomely from licence payers money.
Not forgetting of course that playing darts now appears to qualify also. [Post edited 14 Jun 12:29]

Couldn't agree more. And playing darts at the top level for just a year or so!

Classic bread and circuses distraction. Don’t look at the genocde in Palastine, or any of the forever wars or Israel’s preemptive strike on Iran or the uptick in strokes and heart attacks since the jab roll out, no, look over here where an air head presenter is getting knighted for hosting a frivolous TV show. Redonkulous! | |

Since I heard that the poison Sadiq Khan had received a knighthood, any doubts in my mind that this country is now f*cked have evaporated. | | | |

Seconded
About on a par with knighting the skate Westwood for a lifetime of service to being a total asterisk |  | | |

I would say it’s a popularity parade but the people who are knighted seem to be utter w*nkers who are about as popular as a fart in a lift. You get the odd person who’s actually contributed to society, as it should be, but when you’re in the middle of Strictly hosts WHO Cares!?
Beckham is artificial royalty in the UK. Most people think he’s an arse but he’s everywhere. |  | | |

The good/deserved ones still happen, but you wont see them other than in local news, or if there is a particular feel good story. My bro in law got one for helping the Navy out of a tight spot (he won't say what, but I think it would have been embarrassing for the Navy, rather than any sort of defence scandal), and a girl I worked with got one for setting up a Dance Academy in Winch that turned the lives around of some kids who were going down a different path. The MP here at the time tried to piggy on the back of that, and was told that if he didn't leave alone, she wouldn't accept it (she wasnt comfortable anyway)
The Beckham one seems to be particularly odd, seeing as he seems to have spent the last few years just trying to get a knighthood. I wonder if he'll bother with it all now?
Some of my mates tried to get me one when we spent a few weeks working at a company with not much to do. We wrote to various Royals and MPs just seeing how they'd respond. We sent a £5 Argos Voucher when William and Kate got married and got a lovely response, but the Queen returned our £3 Elizabeth Duke voucher. Eric Pickles turned down their nomination for me to have an MBE for turning up for work even though it was pointless. [Post edited 15 Jun 1:01]

It's been pretty plain to see that Beckham has been brown nosing royalty and whoever else he can suck up to for this without ever really doing much to justify it.
Apart from 'brown nose' many media comments I've seen are along the lines of 'sniveller' 'arse licker', 'groveller' so it's not gone unnoticed. | | | |

Beckham getting one was bad enough but Sadiq Khan? That is the end for me with the royals. That man has been destroying London and gets knighted? Disgusting. | | | |

Am I surprised about Beckham getting one? No
