"Sir" Steve Job's refusal to be drawn into Politics by Gordon Brown cost him Knighthood

Today's The Telegraph is reporting that in 2009, Steve Jobs was in line for an honorary knighthood. However, this was blocked by Gordon Brown, Britain's former Prime Minister. Steve Jobs had been nominated or Put forward for ‘services to technology’.

Apparently, up until the last stages, all went well only for Brown to pull the plug. According to the article, Prime Minister Brown was still upset with Apple’s CEO for his refusal to speak at the Labour party conference, in other words for his refusal to be drawn into politics! As expected, a spokeswoman for Gordon Brown says that the The Telegraph's report is false and that "Mr Brown did not block a knighthood for Steve Jobs".
