Barf Alert! Tony Blair To Be Given Most Senior Knighthood - In 3 Days >670,000 People Have Signed Petition To Rescind

“The Ultimate Insult”.

 By Rose Dunn: Military dads and mums who lost loved ones in Afghanistan and Iraq have been angered by the decision to knight Tony Blair in the New Year honours.

Some threatened to return Elizabeth Crosses – an honour awarded to bereaved families – as a sign of their disgust.

Former UK PM Mr Blair has been dogged by controversy over the legality and morality of the wars.

Carol Valentine, whose son Simon was killed while clearing land mines in Afghanistan in 2009, called the knighthood “the ultimate insult”.

Hazel Hunt, who lost her son, Richard, in Afghanistan, said she was “contemplating sending the Elizabeth Cross back as a sign of my protest”.
