Petition Action

Remove Knighthood 'Sir' from Jimmy Savile name

Additional Information

Even the Prime Minister David Cameron has entered the debate about whether Jimmy Savile's knighthood should be rescinded because of the sex abuse claims against him.

Jimmy Savile died in October 2011 hoever the 'Sir' remains. Going forward he should not be know as 'Sir Jimmy'.

The Honours Forfeiture Committee should reconsider the rules (via Cabinet Office). Bob Kerslake also need to consider this as chair.
