Not many well known figures this year. I think Andy Murray has been overlooked to be honest. He might have been expected to wait until the end of his career but with Sir Bradley Wiggins getting one for winning the Tour de France then winning the US Open, a Gold Medal and Wimbledon should be enough as well.

I am also beginning to think Stephen Fry has turned down all honours since he has never been given one.

Can someone explain to me why the hell Karren Brady has been honoured in the honours list, what has she done apart from introducing that fool Osborne the other day.

I watched her on Tv yesterday praising David and the party for what they have achieved. Maybe she can sorry to all the unemployed in the area of East London which surrounds West Ham.

All her family are millionaires, What about the other people who should have an honour such as David Beckham, who is a great ambassador for Sport and Bruce Forsyth.

It makes me sick that Cameron has given 'prizes' of knighthoods to the donors of the Tory party. What about the people who really deserve nonours - or do they have to pay for it.

Again and ageain, l get riducukled over a comment that l have made.

There are much more deserving people in this country that are constanly overlooked.

My question was What has Karren Brady done to deserve an honour, yes she may be a big business person. BUT what has she done to deserve an award. When other people have been overlooked.

Well an awful lot if you read up on her

Maybe she can sorry to all the unemployed in the area of East London which surrounds West Ham.

Why, what has that got to do with her - she is probably generating employment in the area with the refurb of the Olympic Stadium for West Hams football ground

Other than being made king or given a sainthood, I think he's done.
