Can you inherit a Knighthood from your father??, if not WTF did he do to get one, apart from his poor map reading sklills i cannot think of any single contribution he has ever made to this country and he pissed off to SA years ago. Can we have it back please, we'll give it to someone more deserving.

Cheers

Knighthoods are not usually hereditary but his father was a baronet so he inherited the title when Dennis died!

Arrested for logistical and financial assistance in a coup attempt. So maybe the *whole* family are rotten to the core

I agree with the Munkii, I think he has always made people wonder about his dealings a bit.

The guy is pure dodge. He's made his money from arms and all sorts of nasty dealings. Little ****** has blood on his hands. But his Mum made money from death as well so maybe he's not totally to blame.
