Former British prime minister Tony Blair has received a knighthood with the highest possible ranking in the Queen’s new years honours list.
While the decision has been sparked outrage from Brits who accusing the former Labour leader of being a war criminal, Blair said it was an “immense honour” to have been made a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.

Many argue Blair should be in prison for his involvement in the Iraq War instead of being knighted.
RT reports: Blair was knighted in the New Year Honours 2022 list, alongside Covid-19 response officials Chris Whitty and Jonathan Van-Tam. Blair received the Most Noble Order of the Garter – one of the most prestigious royal honors and the highest order of knighthood – and will now be able to use the title ‘Sir’.
In a statement, the former prime minister said it was “an immense honour” to be knighted.
“I am deeply grateful to Her Majesty the Queen. It was a great privilege to serve as Prime Minister and I would like to thank all those who served alongside me in politics, public service and all parts of our society, for their dedication and commitment to our country,” he said.
In its own statement, the royal family said it was “graciously pleased” to knight Blair.
Many Brits, however, were disturbed by the announcement, with Blair remaining extremely controversial in the UK due to his involvement in the US and UK invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Tony Blair knighted for services to imperialism. The man should be in the dock of The Hague. What a shameful day,” political commentator Liam Young tweeted, while writer and activist Femi Oluwole asked, “If I help create the next ISIS by destabilising an entire region under false pretences, can I get a knighthood too?”
GB News presenter Tonia Buxton said she was “sickened” by the decision to knight Blair, who “caused the deaths of so many.” John Smith – the son of famous World War II veteran and writer Harry Leslie Smith – tweeted that by knighting Blair, “the Queen [is] saying it’s okay to kill brown people in their hundreds of thousands.”

He’s Catholic. The Pope Absomves them of all sins if they’re serving him.
Absolves. Grants Absolution. The Queen does as she’s told.
“I’m fed up of being bossed about by them” QE2.
I feel very SORRY for Her Majesty who has been forced and manipulated by crocked politicians in this act.
It is outrageous, a shame for the whole Commonwealth.
Just goes further to prove the insincerity of our ‘leaders’ who clap for carers and call them heroes while giving the actual honours to a multi-millionaire war criminal.
Being knighted means they’re pedos. These freaks are soooo sick.
Your 100% Spot On, He is a Pedophile. Many Knighted are Pedophiles..
I hear he was and is a Pedophile also.
It is a fundamental requirement for leadership. They film you banging a child, the show you the video, tell you you will do what they say or the video will be leaked, but as a reward for doing what they say, then you will be supplied fresh children continuously. hence, services from Epstein and that other org MVSVK, what ever it is. There are more mossad assets doing the same thing.
Being knighted is worth about as little as receiving the Nobel prize today.
I have a 1975 comedy movie called Africa Express, starring Giuliano Gemma, Ursula Andress, and Jack Palance. Andress (also known by some as “Ursula Undress”) plays a secret agent who puts on a nun’s habit to disguise herself, but salesman-trader Gemma sees a sexy garter she is wearing. Hurriedly she says, “It’s a symbol of my order, the Order of the Garter.” Thinking it’s an order of nuns, Gemma asks a priest if he’s heard of that order. The priest misunderstands and says, “Yes, I believe the Queen of England belongs to it.”

Great, so he ate the whole baby raw at the ceremony! He deserves that knighthood.
