Stephen Hawking Knighthood!?

Question

Am i the only one that feels its about bloody time stephen hawking got a knighthood? If the prentrious prick Bob Geldoff can have one, then why not the genius stephen hawking!?

whilst we are on this topic, who else do you think deserves a knighthood?

bangarang!

Answer 1

Bob Geldof's knighthood is Honary as he not a British Citizen. His knighthood is not substantive.  He is not allowed to use "Sir" in front of his name. He is allowed to place the letters KBE after his name. "Sir" Bob's fellow Irishman Sir Terry Wogan does have a substantive knighood as he holds dual nationality.

Stephen Hawking has turned down a substantive knighthood.
