Tony Blair knighthood fury: Two-thirds of Britons want Sir Tony to be stripped off title

More than 1 million people have signed a petition calling on the government to rescind the knighthood of Tony Blair.
A recent YouGov poll found that just 14 per cent of people approved of him being awarded it, fewer than those who believe the Moon landings were faked. What a comedown for man who, at the height of his popularity, enjoyed a 93% approval rating.
The YouGov poll has found that almost two-thirds of Britons disapprove of Mr Blair receiving a knighthood.
Tony Blair’s case for war in Iraq went “beyond the facts” in a way that caused long-term damage to public trust in politics, Sir John Chilcot told MPs in 2016.
The former civil servant came his closest yet to saying Blair spun the evidence when he claimed Saddam Hussein posed a ‘real and present danger’ to the UK.
