and this *honorless*, petty, bully of a individual actually was awarded 
knighthood!  

to my mind such public actions by a member of the peerage are totally out 
of bounds and should immediately result in censure by the individuals circle 
of peers and at very least a public apology to the lady in question and all 
others involved.

it was always my understanding that the peerage was supposed to 
represent the best of us ... actions such as these show the worst.
