I think she is above the law, after all she does sign the assents on all legislation so it's hardly likely she will be subject to these laws even if she decides out of choice to abide by them.

For your information, the very person responsible for these honours (Queen) is the biggest tax evader of all.

Who is she to talk?

Why are Nick Griffin and Mark Collett not on that list for their fantastic victory against the left wing establishment? It gave hope to the common man.

Well she's only been paying tax since 1992 - but to be fair nobody in her position even bothered before that.

. . . or perhaps because contributing to these forums is considered aiding and abetting tax evasion.

Because it would look too much like an employee benefit and you'd chuck another wobbly about your IR35 status?

Ah, we seem to be making some progress at least because usually morons go on about 45 minutes for firing the weapons!

On the down side Im not on that list. Obviously my donation to the labour party wasnt large enough!

New year's honours

No mention of any cricketers this time. Steve Gerrard gets a gong for carrying Liverpool for five years, and Rod Stewart for being an arse.

A knighthood was awarded to John Scarlett, chief of MI6.

He was formerly chairman of the government's Joint Intelligence Committee and his evidence during the 2002 Hutton inquiry into the death of weapons scientist Dr David Kelly gave crucial support to the government's case.

It was also John Scarlett who helped Blair to sex up the famous dossier with 45-minute warnings of WMDs raining on Britain.
