I can accept the awards for bravery above and beyond the call of duty. Heroes ,every one and fully deserving of all the Country can give.
Honours, never my favorite item, then the award to Edward Kennedy of a Knighthood, this is a man who succored and supported the IRA for 30 years. Would you like to stand next to him to collect your Knighthood next from HMQ.
If the answer is "Yes" then you should not be there either.
