The idea that the U.K. is the “land of opportunity” is laughable. I’ve lived here for 40 years and I’ve never been once been given the opportunity to refuse an OBE, knighthood or Peerage on New Years Day.

Congratulations to our chairman, Phil Wadey, who has been made an MBE in the #NewYearsHonours. Phil has worked to add paths to the definitive map for over 35 years, and we hope his award serves as a reminder to the government to prioritise rights of way: bit.ly/4pdaR8h

Great to see 100+ educators honoured in the New Year Honours list. Heads, teachers, MAT leaders, youth workers. Some transformed schools. Many championed opportunities for disadvantaged kids. The government calls some 'unsung heroes.' Who are yours?

Still I get no recognition, not a nibble. Any little knick knack would have done. A couple of garters and a bath. I'm not fussy. It would have been very nice. It would have added a little bit of prestige to the TV show. Sir Anthony Hancock's Half Hour!

Fantastic to see some trailblazing #Lionesses in the #NewYearsHonours! Congrats also to the PFA's Simone Pound and Ann Budge of Hearts FC, both honoured this week for their incredible contributions. We're thrilled for both and so proud to have them as #WomeninFootball members! 💜💚

#NewYearsHonours
Happy New Year, Sir Michael
One notable omission is the 'Great Britain' Charlie Mullins OBE, who should be elevated to a Knighthood for his services to this country
He never fails to promote the benefits of the UK, the London mayoralty, while making the sacrifice of living in exile.

Bill: Stop moaning, its your pride, thats all. Its been nagging away ever since you found out I was an OBE.

Tony: OBE?

Bill: Yeah, Order of the British Empire.

Tony: Bill, you were ordered OUT of the British empire!

So annoyed Thomas Skinner didn’t get an OBE.
Great dancer & motivates so many people with his body fat & smell.
Disappointed too for Lucy Connolly such a kind, humble lady who has worked tirelessly for prison reform.
And no award for Eamonn Holmes?
Appalling!
