Surely it is down to the Queen to say who does and doesn't get a knighthood and not some jumped up politician with PMT!

Lol given a load of the people honoured for unapparent reasons over the years, Mugabe got recognition of sorts, so why not an american dictator too lol.

Strange a Jock being so anti Mac though lol

If that is the case then it would show what a petty, snivelling, sad little weasel of a man Brown is - he has already proved that by his greatest faux pas to date:

While his reasons are wrong I am glad it got blocked. What has Jobs ever done for the UK that means he deserves a knighthood?

No doubt all the usual Apple w**kers on here will start having a pop now!

I suppose if you ignore the creation of jobs in service centres and Apple outlets in the UK + the 1000's of people involved in writing software for apple products then absolutely nothing
http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/storelist/

So what have the Romans ever done for us then???

BTW i own an Ipod!

The real reason is that fatty two ***** is so wide he needed a seat for each cheek of his humongous ar$e leaving no room for Jobs!

This got me thinking, so I googled it.
Have you seen the list of honorary knights and dames...

Er there are tens of thousands of people who employ people in the UK and an awful lot of them don't take their wealth out of the country to the USA.

Agreed. As much as it pains me to sa it, Jobs has far more right on there than a good few of them. After all the queen has an iPod, the Obama's made sure of that!

What's it to you what he does with his money?
I wouldn't imagine Jobs is too bothered about a knighthood.
This story is more about the petty/vindictive nature of Brown.
It is good to see someone speaking out on his behalf though.

No, I'm afraid it isn't obvious at all.
