2023-01-01 Should have got a knighthood

No I don't mean me,the only thing I should be nominated for is Idiot of the year.

I am referring to a number of comments that Kevin Sinfield should absolutely have been given a knighthood in the new years honours list.

I completely agree that he should be knighted and the Mirror mentioned a petition which I searched for but the only one I found was a parliament one that was rejected.

I am not surprised that he was not honored as it takes between 6 and 18 months for the Cabinet Office Honours committee to verify and either approve or reject the nomination. Also I have heard that there is an unwritten rule that there has to be 5 years gap between receiving an existing honour and a new one although I have searched for this and cannot find any evidence that this is true.

You can search the web to see what an incredible guy Kevin is showing a personality that displays everything that we should all aspire to, showing such friendship and love for his best mate as well as selflessly applying himself to raise awareness for the horrible disease that MND is. A true hero by anyones standards.

I do hope that he does get the honour he truly deserves soon, although I am sure he is not really bothered and that its those of us who admire him that want him to be honoured.
