    ...is now Fred Goodwin.

    They've stripped him of his knighthood for basically being a ****, but the story they're going with is bringing the honour system into disrepute.

    For **** sake, how can you bring the honour system into disrepute? They all got honours by being devious sneaky bastards, or buying them.

    Does that mean there is one going spare?

    If so, I suggest Sir Huth, he'd fit in with all the other 'devious sneaky bastards'.

    Don't think you can be stripped of a peerage?

    If Scotland gained independence would we have to strip all the other Scottish Knights of their titles ?

    No, you can be a forrin and a knight e.g. Sir Bono, Sir Bobby Geldoff.
