Arise Sir Geoffrey

Are you sure? Boycott has stated on more than one occasion that the guilty until innocent laws in France are one of the prime reasons he voted leave in the EU referendum.
I'm 100% sure. There are no guilty until proven innocent laws in France, and the fact that he repeatedly insists there are shows what a ignorant **** he is.

They do have some strange inquisitorial criminal justice system though don't they?

It is clearly and self-evidently not the prerogative of the Australian PM to give out British knighthoods.

But yes, the UK PM does have the competency to award an honourary knighthood to a non-British person.
Noted Anglophile Tony Abbott reintroduced knighthoods when he became Prime Minister in 2013. The first people he granted them to were the Governor General, and famously Prince Phillip.

That's right. A knighthood. To a Prince.

Was the beginning of the end for Abbott. Rightly so, too.

Our UK posters must feel like they're in with a shout then if the bar is set this low

Sir Geoffrey has now left Test Match Special. He was the only decent summariser on there. Hopefully this doesn’t mean more Michael Vaughan.

I've become very fond of Sir Geoffrey of late - if you stalk him on twitter he bites, as does David Gower - Sir Beefy, sadly, doesn't
