Which isn't even legally permissible, there is no way to 'give it back' (although you could stop using the title) - it can only be taken from you, which has to be done by the king on recommendation of the prime minister.
- Angostura 3y agoI can’t think of an instance where giving it back has been refused. It certainly won’t in this instance
- denton-scratch 3y agoI can't think of an instance when it's been given back. You get a notification that you're being considered for an honour; if you're going to turn it down, you do it at that stage, before it's been conferred.
- denton-scratch 3y agoYeah, that's what I thought. Her promise to return the "honour" looks to me like an attempt to avoid having it seized off her. These "honours" (knighthoods, peerages etc.) should now be referred to as "disgraces". Liz Truss handed out an honour for roughly each four days of her incumbency as Prime Minister, nearly all to crazies from the extreme right of the Conservative Party. We already have way more peers than can actually be stuffed into the House Of Lords.
