According to the media, David Beckham may be awarded a Knighthood in the New Years honours list. Has this country gone completey mad? Am I the only one that cannot understand why we are honouring these people with titles and making them knights of the realm?
David Beckham has already been rewarded with an over inflated salary, and numerous highly paid endorsement deals, and all he has done is played a game that he loves. There will be those that say "but look what he's done for charity", but this is just nonsense. He has done what he should have done given his wealth and influence, and I'm sure that he hasn't gone without along the way, like many hard working volunteers and benefactors have.
It's wrong of me to just single Beckham out, as he hasn't been awarded anything yet, but what about others like Mick Jagger, who won't even live in our country because of the taxes, but will gladly don a top hat for a day at the palace.
Am I the only one who feels this way?
