1981 newspaper editorial column commenting on Sir Freddie Laker receiving knighthood versus civil servants' honors

A newspaper editorial clipping from 1981 discussing Sir Freddie Laker's knighthood in the context of civil service honors. The commentary contrasts the justification for honoring entrepreneurs like Laker versus civil servants receiving automatic Birthday Honours, concluding with a sardonic reference to civil servants having 'Inflation-Proof Pensions' bestowed by taxpayers.
