Howard receives the Order of Merit
Jun 1st, 2012 at 7:44am
 
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-06-01/queen-awards-howard-order-of-merit/4045800

The Queen has awarded former prime minister John Howard the prestigious Order of Merit at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Janette Howard and the couple's youngest son Richard were at the palace to witness the ceremony.

"I am touched by the personal compliment, but I also see it very much as a mark of the Queen's great affection and esteem for Australia," Mr Howard said.

The Order of Merit is limited to just 24 living recipients, including distinguished scientists, writers, musicians and artists.

On Sunday the Howards will board one of the 1,000 boats in the jubilee flotilla which will sail down the Thames to celebrate the Queen's 60 years on the throne.

John Howard deserves to do hard time. He's a criminal.

lol, the best award is the after award of the lefties crying.

Maybe they should give an extincted award to Booby Brown to keep the lefties happy.

Are there any extincted awards that anyone knows of.

If someone gets an award, it is usually for doing something.  What did Howard do, that should get this award?.   Huh

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Merit

.....it has been claimed by Stanley Martin, in his book The Order of Merit 1902-2002: One Hundred Years of Matchless Honour, that the Order of Merit is actually the pinnacle of the British honours system


.....Christopher McCreery, an expert on Canadian honours and secretary to the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, stated that the Order of Merit was the highest civilian award for merit a Canadian could receive.

Just reinforces the Queen of Britain, and invaded colonies, is a right winger at heart.

No wonder the hard right silver spooners, like neocons, want to keep links with the invader. 

Republicans are more likely in majority centre and left politically.


Independence Now, via a Republic.
