Well that's the country's financial problems over then.

Any chance of this crook(allegedly) facing the courts?.

Hurrah! A man guilty of very poor judgement but not anything criminal loses his bauble.

We're saved! All hail the sacrificial lamb.

On the grounds of "Bringing the knighthood system into disrepute" are the words being used on Radio 4 PM show.

On the grounds of mocking the poor would have been more accurate.

Good. Maybe he can use some of that £600k a year pension on a new Walt title.

And still, Lord Taylor of Warwick & Lord Hanningfield who were both found guilty of fraud and did pokey time for it, are allowed to keep their seats and titles in the House of Lords. Agree with sixty, the sacrificial lamb has had it's blood spilled. Gesture politics, nothing more, nothing less.

Thank God for that only another few hundred other to$$ers/w4nkrs and ne'rdowells to go. Then we have their Lordships in the House of Peers to look at and then most of the members of the bar. After that there is ......... oh and Alex Salmond!

Just breaking on Auntie.

The Queen cancelled and annulled the title following Whitehall advice.
