Just a few short words about this:
The award of such a high honour to Tony Blair devalues every honour, even of the lowest rank, bestowed on people who actually deserve them. It is a tragic miscalculation.
Whilst serving members of the armed forces have no choice but to take part in celebrations for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, veterans, many of whom have good reason to feel betrayed by Mr Antony Charles Lynton Blair, may do as they wish.
The Order's motto is: "Shame on he who evil thinks." A good motto for those who would NOT give Mr Blair ANY sort of honour might be: "Shame on he who evil does."
Petition: this seems to be the most popular petition going at the moment; https://www.change.org/p/the-prime-minister-tony-blair-to-have-his-knight-companion-of-the-most-noble-order-of-the-garter-rescinded
Even if it's been a month or two, it's still worth signing to keep the pressure up.
