The Honours System.

[Mike Oxlong]

Got a lot more respect for those "celebrities"  and sports stars that turn an honour down

The system is open to cronyism and favours celebrities and sports stars while ordinary people are for the most part unrecognised.while government civil servants get gongs for serving the government
