Knighthood petition fails

22 August 2007 (17:15) Terry Pratchett News News Archives

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.

  "When someone is saved from a certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that’s a miracle. But of course if someone is killed by a freak chain of events--the oil spilled just there, the safety fence broken just there--that must also be a miracle. Just because it’s not nice doesn’t mean it’s not miraculous."
