What the petition asks
For at least a decade now, Louis Theroux has been Great Britain's number one in documentary presenting. He has done wonders to educate and inform the British public, and he deserves a reward.
Not only does Mr. Theroux present these ground-breaking episodes, he also writes and researches them. Notably, Louis has written and created an entire film 'My Scientology Movie'. His style of presentation is both entertaining and sincere. This man is at least as good at his work as Sir David Attenborough. Let's knight him!
Why it was rejected
It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
We can't accept your petition because it asks for someone to be nominated for an honour.
