Can you say, "HOLY SHIT!"? I knew you could.
Former Royal Bank of Scotland boss Fred Goodwin has had his knighthood removed.
Mr Goodwin, who was heavily criticised over his role in the bank's near-collapse in 2008, was given the honour by the Labour government in 2004.
The Queen cancelled and annulled the title following Whitehall advice.

It tells me TPTB are starting to pay attention to how things look, at least.
