P J Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Seems they are at it again. Every year there is the foul whiff of corruption of power in the air as the New Years Honours list is announced. Quite how giving dosh to a political party should entitle anyone to an honour is beyond me. CBE, OBE, MBE all have a common denominator, the "E" which stands for Empire which hasn't existed for decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asperity Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 The shock announcement was David Beckham not being made a knight!! How did that happen? (sarcasm by the way ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 It also showed a 95 year old woman who has helped in charity work kids for donkey's years who got the BEM ,whereas, on the other hand , a "celebrity" would get possibly a knighthood for doing exactly the same....where is the justice in that ?

Robbo Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 And a MBE for the chairman (woman) of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association's supper club. I can't think of anyone more deserving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
