Which celebs would you give an MBE/OBE to?
 

If you had the power to award them who would be in your honours list?

Letitia Dean (for her work as Sharon in Eastenders)
Diane Parish (for her work as Denise on Eastenders)
David Neilson (for his work as Roy in Corrie)
Pam St Clement (for her acting and charity work)
Beyoncé (for her music and charity work)
Perrie Edwards (contributions to music)
Jade Thirlwall (contributions to music)
Leigh-Anne Pinnock (contributions to music)

One person from each pair on Gogglebox whilst pointedly leaving out the other because I think it would make for some funny scenes. e.g. give it to Mary but not Giles, Sophie but not Pete, Jenny but not Lee etc.

Really just a flawless plan.

Liam and noel.

no celeb should ever get an award for being a celeb

I completely agree.

All those Paramedics who just saved Christian Eriksen's life!

I don't think paramedics come under the heading of celebrities.

They were on the telly:shrug:

Yeah. The point i was making it's people like that who deserve rewards. Not celebs for being celebs.

Yes I agree totally with that Swan.
100%

John Cleese
JK Rowling
Grant Morrison
Russell T Davies

Dua lipa for being the only British pop star to sustain worldwide success (2nd most monthly streams on Spotify and just passed Ariana she did THAT)

Are we just forgetting Adele existing

Rihanna, for all her magnificent success (first in music, currently in beauty business, and her amazing charity work, as well as fab acting work in Battleship)

Anton Du Beke for being the strictly legend that he is

Alan Shearer for his successes and many goals in England national football team

John Cleese because it is long overdue for him to get a title for the national treasure he is

JK Rowling
Rachel Riley

Also Ed Sheeran has had more success than Dua Lipa :shrug:

:joker::joker::joker:

Is that a joke? Or do One Direction and its members, ditto with Little Mix, Adele, Lewis Capaldi etc suddenly not exist? Not to mention the likes of the Beatles, David Bowie ...

Well then make a list instead of being a snobby dickhead

Gary Glitter for service to prisons

Elton John, Rolling Stones etc etc...

led zeppelin, the bay city rollers, eric clapton, ELO, paul mcCartney in his own right, annie lennox, queen, the who, tom jones, and thats just off the top of my head :laugh:

JK Rowling has an OBE

The John Cleese who is xenophobic and thinks paying tax is above him ?

And Dua lipa outsold them all

You do realise Elton John sold over 300m in the US alone?

Ammi OBE has a ring to it

As does Sir Denver

In what way?

Oops forgot about that!!

She should be a Dame :love:

By mouthing off about all the non English people in London

In my old borough, Newham... it's about 10% indigenous and 90% incomer. God forbid anyone should mention that or they'll be damned for all time for "mouthing off".

When did he mouth off?

On Twitty years ago.

To be fair, if you read between the lines what he's really criticising is globalisation and neoliberal capitalism, pointing out that London doesn't have a distinctly "anywhere" (other than "London") character anymore and is what I guess we call a "Global City" - which ARE quite distinct entities from their host countries. Whilst the city is British, it's hard to argue that "The City" is in any way British. It's not really about who lives there. In ye olde times, it would most likely be an independent city-state.

He did a pretty ham-fisted and old-mannish job of expressing it though. But then he is in his 80's.

Ohh I remember! Yeah there's nothing inherently wrong or "xenophobic" about saying London isn't a "British" city, especially as people from his party (Lib Dems) and Labour have said the same thing in a positive manner.

If he really was xenophobic, he wouldn't have moved to the Caribbean!
