Tony Blair should not get a Knighthood. He took the Country into an illegal war.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Queen should not have to grant Tony Blair a Knighthood. This should not stop subsequent Prime Ministers getting Honours if appropriate.
I want to start this Petition as I believe there is huge support for this amongst ordinary people.

Why it was rejected

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

We cannot accept petitions about honours or appointments, including requests for individuals to be given or not given particular honours.
