Petition to rescind Tony Blair's knighthood gets more than 600,000 signatures - Levin - 05-01-2022

LONDON (NYTIMES) - By tradition, former British prime ministers are honoured by Queen Elizabeth some years after leaving No. 10 Downing St, so the elevation of Mr Tony Blair to a knighthood on New Year's Day could have been a routine event.
