Nickers man says nix to MBE
Wealthy nickers boss Joseph Corré, the son of Vivien Westwood, turns down MBE offer.
It seems he said: “I have been chosen by an organisation headed by a Prime Minister who I find morally corrupt, who has been involved in organised lying to the point where thousands of people, including children, have suffered death, detention and torture in Afghanistan and Iraq. Furthermore, against this backdrop we are to have our hard-fought civil liberties eroded as a consequence. Don’t forget Jean Charles de Menezes [the Brazilian shot dead by police at Stockwell Underground station on suspicion of being a terrorist] or our rights to habeas corpus.”
Good reading from the Daily Telegraph, eh ? And such a pity that Toady B. Liar is actually no worse than the Tories, who lied and swindled just as much when they had a chance.
This paves the way for the rejection of ALL awards from the Westminster Govt, which is known to be steeped in corruption.
IMO: It is getting to the point where fringe persons, such as common tradesmen, nonwhites and the transgendered, are starting to lose rather than gain credibility by accepting awards or status from such Governments. And for the gays, Peter Mandelson for example is hardly fitter for 'envy' than Burgess, Blunt or Maclean - in those cases, their stance could at least call for a sort of lefthanded respect, even if their apparent political views were not shared.
