I have more respect for those who help with charitable events but get not a single bit of recognition because generally they are the dogsbodies of the help.
Such as those who give their time to clean up and also help set up the events on the day too.

I don't just think he should lose his OBE, I don't think he should have had one in the fiirst place and if I were him after the revealing of this scam, I would have already handed back the OBE or at least offered to.
I actually agree with Margaret Hodge as to this and it's not very often I do that.

Her judgement on this is far better than what we heard from the Prime Minister this morning,that's for sure.

...hmmm, has Jimmy Savill not still got his though..?..maybe he can't be 'stripped' posthumously..?...I think though that if Gary wanted to give it back that would be one thing but I don't think that he should necessarily have any pressure to do so though, Joey...what he did was wrong and he's paying it back, which even for someone so wealthy is no small thing...it's kind of to me, where does it all end...?...
