Arise, Sir.......

Many calls for our successful Olympians to be given honours in the next list.  But why??  If you've won a medal in your particular event, isn't that your reward for all your hard work and dedication?  Why should you get an MBE as well - let alone a knighthood, as has been suggested for some.  Problem is - precedent.  It's been done for others in the past, so why not you?  Well - new PM, new post-Brexit world - perhaps now is a good time to break the cycle and think twice before scattering honours around like sweeties for those who have simply done their thing - albeit exceptionally well.
