According to wikipedia (hey I'm too stupid to look up other sources) a knight is just a higher rank than those with CBEs and the like: members of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. I wouldn't support it for that reason - the social implications of perpetuating an unrealistic perception of our real and expected power and nation-state subjugation in general. Pratchett could accept it as it would make him anti-establishment but also part of it though. He'd get to live out Vimes's social dilemma.
