Luke Littler MBE

[Darran]

Now there’s an example of all that’s wrong with the honours list.
18 months of darts and he’s off to the palace for a gong.

Yep, the Honours Committee and those above them have been a bit silly with this one. The same applies to the Luke Humphries award.

Well said.

When you have Sir Dave Peckham, anything is defendable.

Time all this bollocks was abolished.

There’d be no reason to abolish it if they honoured people worthy of being honoured.

But not before the royal family are abolished. Them first.

Genuine question - do we ever get to see exactly what the justification is for an award given to anyone? All I ever seem to hear is "for services to blah blah"

I agree though why Luke Littler should get one simply for playing the sport he enjoys is a little puzzling.

I don’t think they publish that. The most we ever see is the “services to…” thing you mentioned.

He might well deserve one in the future but nobody knew who he was 18 months ago.
