Some of you may remember the e-petition to knight Terry Pratchett from a few months ago. The promised response from the government has been posted:
Thank you for taking the trouble to sign this e-petition.
The Prime Minister recognises the achievements of Terry Pratchet [sic] and the widespread regard in which he is held. But it is of course the case that only about 60 Knighthoods are granted each year and there are many deserving candidates for each honour.
However, the government can assure you that your support for this suggestion will be taken fully into account.
The petition garnered a total of 2,143 signatures before the deadline on June 11, 2007.

"The man climbing out of your window in a stripy jumper, a mask, and a great hurry might merely be lost on the way to a fancy-dress party, and the man in the wig and robes at the focus of the courtroom might only be a transvestite who wandered in out of the rain. Snap judgments can be so unfair."
