Let's not get silly, the economy is a fair bit better now than when Osborne took up office.

'Yep, lets thank the man who HASN'T done anything he promised over the economy, and in fact has made it worse!'
The first part of that sentence can be debated, but as for the second part, were you actually alive when Osborne became chancellor?

Except it doesn't does it? It's a way of giving the stylist a "Golden handshake" of an OBE even though the service has been paid for by the tax payer .
It is time to end all this bollocks imo. I hear someone has blocked it all and quite right too...

That's what I thought
What the hell does she look like without an OBE winning stylist?
Cameron is basically saying the work your stylist has done to make something out of you is worth a place on the Honours List

Giving someone's stylist an award is a backhand insult to the former, surely?
It implies they need someone special to make them look good.

I agree with Debs for a change. Bloody hell what are honours for but to encourage patronage on an out-dated class system spill over.
No-one should be entitled to call themselves "Sir" or "Lord" and it needs to stop. That is one socialist policy most would agree with imo....
I think we might have to wait until the queen dies first mind...

Osborne's gong is the least of it. If you put aside party political loyalty, it can be easily justified on the basis of 6 years as the holder of one of the great offices of state.
Some of the others are a fucking disgrace, though, and you would think he actually wants to go down in history as cronyist Eton toff.

Do you imagine this Southern Rail DEBACLE would be dragging on as it has if MP's were travelling in from Sussex every day on it?
The Minister for Transport should have his office in a Central Line carriage.

I remember over 10 years ago seeing Gerald Kaufman in the middle of a busy Charring cross train station I felt slightly star struck, why I do not know.

"Personally I think MPs should use piblic tramsport"
So do I. Buses through Harlesden. During the rush hours. At least a few times every year, even if their constituency is in the Scottish highlands or somewhere rather agreeable in Cornwall. Given them a nice dose of perspective.

Personally I think MP's should use public transport but just explaining why there would be more than one.
The PM may need to nip out to Spitalfields Markets at 3am to inspect the latest pig head arrivals and obviously the guy who had been doing the 9 to 5 shift needs to sleep.

So, the daughter of a Baronet descended from Charles II - herself an "award winning" women's designer - needs a stylist, who is then honoured with a royal honour proposed by aforementioned woman's own husband?
What on earth is wrong with that? It's all part of the "big society", don't you know.

I guess drivers are only allowed to work a certain shift and the PM would have one on 24 hr call.
I used to work for a Saudi bloke who had 5 drivers for him & his wife and 2 kids.

It's a disgrace. Just brings the whole honours system into total disrepute.
Fuck off Cameron.
