Ive never heard of anyone actually turning down a knighthood Mary.
I don't think I would either, you have more ability to effect positive change and steer policy in the right direction

Dr John Ray, for example.. was a Knight Of Malta even though he was a lightworker and 100% devoted to healing humanity and easing physical and mental suffering, was also awarded the Pax Mundi 'world peace' award.
You can't always judge someone on their associations.
Praise Len for his good deeds.
