The New Year of 2022 has barely started, and already there are news stories bringing a “are you f***ing kidding me!?” reaction from the wise old heads of twitter.
This year’s New Year’s Honours list has been released, and most people do not seem too impressed that former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair has been handed a knighthood.
Here are some of the reactions so far…….
Tony Blair knighted.
I think I’m going to throw up.— Gilbert Jackson (@youth_unheard) December 31, 2021
Sir Chris Whitty
Sir Jonathan Van Tam
Dame Jenny Harries
Sir Tony BlairMight as well add Sir Bill Gates, Sir Klaus Schwab and Sir Xi Jinping and be done with it.

This country is a fucking sewer. Honouring discredited warmongers, morgue creeping corpse strokers and turd wrangling shittards. The best of British? Fucking hell.

If you needed an advert to end the honours system it was tonight 👇👇
SIR TONY BLAIR
What a joke.

They knighted Blair. Apart from being a man who many have little respect for, it is perhaps an indication of just how active he still is behind the scenes. #MarvelsAgentsOfGlobalism

How can Tony Blair get knighted, it’s unreal. The royal family are becoming political here which they’ve never done before, our country has become a mess. https://t.co/Cv8wQ9egOb

Just when you thought the government’s piss taking over the last two years had peaked, they roll out, Sir Tony Blair. Go home @BorisJohnson you’re evidently pissed.

If the UK now knights it’s wars criminals the whole honours system is pointless and has no honour left in it.

Correct! The Order of the Garter is only from the Queen!
Hence, Tony Blair received this knighthood from her, not on the advice of PM #TonyBlair #knighthood https://t.co/5qwaX1IqOb— ParentChain (@parentchain) January 1, 2022

Everything that is wrong with the UK today, is down to Blair:
Devolution
Judiciary
Supreme Court
NHS PFI debt
Pensions screwed
Immigration
Human Rights Act
IRA Comfort Letters
Iraq War & Sexed up Dossier.
Will take a generation to undo the damage he’s done to the constitution— Lizzy E🌏🇬🇧🏴🇮🇪🇮🇳🇫🇷🇧🇻🦕 (@scattysmum) January 1, 2022
Before Blair, immigration was running at approx 50k a year.
Under him, it leapt to 150k. It now runs at nearly double that.
It’s caused the most profound, historical change & it was deliberate (‘rub the right’s nose in diversity’). An honour for this? https://t.co/w8yt5yqdoM
