Re: Sir Andy Murray?????
At least the sportsmen/women, actors etc who get honours have usually achieved something. Most of the honours seem to be political awards given for lickspittle service to the status quo. Mind you, after 77 years without a Wimbledon male winner, he'll probably be made Lord Murray of Dunblane.Re: Sir Andy Murray?????
Re: Sir Andy Murray?????
No-one has mentioned the many charities Andy Murray is involved in simply because he is not the type to broadcast it to the world.Re: Sir Andy Murray?????
I do get concerned about how many of these are handed out each year. OBE, CBE, Knighthoods.Re: Sir Andy Murray?????
In two minds about this. I think the honours system is a complete farce, and, as others have said, pretty worthless. I most certainly do not think Murray's win justifies a "Sir", but if the powers that be feel they have to give him something for his achievement then let him be given one of the lowest honours - an OBE would be sufficient recognition if they must give him something.
