Does anyone know how we go about removing an honorary knighthood? I
think the traditional way was to send some other knights to bring
the wonderer back to the tower, have, a trial, and then cut off his
head. As we don't execute any more, then we perhaps need another
approach for Bill Gates. It is quite certain he should never have
received such an honour.
