Rejection code: honours (see below for details)
Strip Bernard Ingham of his Knighthood
The title ‘Sir’ is supposed to represent honour and respect and there’s nothing honourable or respectful about the way Ingham has over many years consistently abused the people who lost loved ones in such a tragic way in the Hillsborough disaster - and has refused to apologise for his comments.
In 1996 letter the former chief press secretary to Margaret Thatcher advised Liverpool to "shut up about Hillsborough" disaster in which 96 innocent people died
Ingham, who admitted he had not read the Hillsborough Report, reportedly refused to apologise for the discredited opinion about "a mob surging in late".
