LETTER: Hellish honours awards system

I understand from the latest publication of the honours awards system that in all cases the final nod through is given by an adopted Anglo-German family of benefit scroungers who are currently living rent free in a palace at the top of The Mall.

It would seem they prefer an honours system favouring their granddaughter’s dress designer while ignoring World War Two flying ace, Jonny Johnson, the last remaining ‘Dam buster,’ who fought the Nazis and thus helped ensure our freedoms.

If I’m right it confirms my view that this country is going straight to hell.
