Do not give Tony Blair a knighthood or any other honour

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Queen’s honours list should not be used to honour ex politicians just because they became prime minister.
Honours should go to deserving people who have served their communities and country. Not to someone who led the UK in to a war on false information that cost countless lives

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.
