So he was a civil servant (nothing big, photographer and graphic design dept, some of his maps are in a preserved nuclear bunker in Fife) and one day the nurses went on strike and he (despite not being a nurse) walked out in solidarity. He was dragged in front of his boss who told him he was now banned from any official honours, meaning he couldn't become a Knight, get an OBE, CBE, MBE, get a George Cross or become a Lord.

That's a much better unofficial honor imo

That's a pretty based reason and way better than being a lord
