It's great to see the charge of WAR CRIMES being levelled here.

Like Matt Bracken said on his podcast the other day when he hears the Nuremberg code mentioned in the mainstream media re: COVID it's like a warning.

We are coming !

There' a table at the end of the link below with the order of precedence.

Duke's are like governors. Big land owners, but not the king. Between King and Duke are a bunch of royal family and royal offices.

Various levels of knight, appointed by King. Squire is not a rank, just a dude that helps out a knight, brushing off mud, or what not.

Not necessarily. Some own nothing. The days when an inherited peerage meant wealth are long gone.

The only disinguishing feature of the Order of the Garter knighthood, which Blair has been give, is that it's now the only honour which is in the personal gift of the monarch. Everything else is decided by a committee.

Looks the like the Queen is taking the hit ...

The REAL War Crimes was the bombing of Belgrade in order to drive Serbia out of Kosovo. And while Bill Clinton gets most of the ‘credit’ for bombing civilian targets to ‘help’ Serbia to come to the correct decision, I suspect that Tony Blair had a hand in it too.

Blair referred to Kosovo as “The First Progressives War.”

” Tony Blair to have his knighthood removed.”

Does he get to keep his horse, suit of armor, and sword and shield?

Well they'll certainly know then that he's not the King.
