Rejected petition Give David Attenborough a Lordship.
As one of the worlds most important men, with huge influence on important areas of policy, having also influenced so many others over a quite incredible lifetime it is staggering that Sir David Attenborough is not a Lord.
Continued politicisation of he House of Lords makes this is even more vital.
More details
Surely nothing more is needed.
