Nick Clegg 'to receive knighthood' in New Year's honours list

DiscoCAFC

If this is true this will be an absolute joke! What has he done to deserve this? 5 years as deputy prime minister? So what! His lies has let down himself and his own party and in particular the youngsters on his tuition fees pledge! I can think of thousands of more people who deserve this and they do not get any recognition whatsoever!

Happy Christmas.

It's because of the "I'm sorry" youtube video.

To be fair, it’s not a bad way of reminding the electorate there is an alternative to the Tories, new Labour, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour, UKIP, the Green Party, spoiling your vote or just not bothering to vote. You can totally waste it instead.

Arise, Sir Collaborator.

He is however one of the only politicos that is speaking any sense regarding Brexit.

Has anyone read all through the list to make sure Roland and Katrien aren't on there anywhere?

Absolutely deserved.

Give him some slack people, he did go to Westminster School so he obviously deserves it.

Wasn’t Samantha Cameron’s assistant and stylist included in the Honours List a few years ago ? Nothing should surprise us any more

An altogether humbler, more intellectual breed of posh kid than yer Etonians and Harrovians

Best of the current bunch of politicians by a mile.

I don't know if that's knighthood-worthy.

The Liberal Democrats were decimated as a result of his political decisions. The only plus is that it's a fairly useless knighthood and they haven't rewarded his failures with a seat in the House of Lords.

nth_london_addick

I don’t like the things he says currently but the man went up in my estimations by trying to influence change when he assisted in the coalition government

Deserved of a knighthood no not imo

But a very brave stance that fortunately assited in removing a terrible labour government who ruined the country and we are still paying for it now

It is all shit until Dale Winton gets a gong.

Allowed a disastrous tory regime to cling onto power and wreck our country and destroy hope for the millions who are not privileged.

He was a human shield for Cameron. Feel sorry for him.

Sorry mate

Swings and roundabouts.

Clegg presided over Lib Dem’s decimation, but also led them into government for the first time in the history.

Failed to deliver on his tuition fees pledge but delivered a fairer system in terms of what is basically a low level graduate tax.

In terms of pupil premium Clegg and Lib Dem’s has done more for Social Mobility than the majority of those who preceded him and judging but the recent actions of Milburn and the commission all those who followed him.

Clegg rejected a peerage as he didn’t want a state funded job for life, compare that with John Prescott a deputy PM who did bugger all.
