Would'nt be suprised if Bruno picked up a knighthood before Lennox gets a look in
They gave Naseem Hamed the MBE in 1999.
The image of the royals was so tarnished after Princess Diana's death
in 1997.
They were handing out these honours like candy to give off the impression that they were in tune with the average public and appeasing the celebrites to gain favourtism.
It was like Woody Allen who hired almost every top rated actor or actress to appear in his movies after it was revealed he was having relations with his daughter.

I also know what kind of toilet paper a genuine down-to-earth "council" kid would have made the acceptance letter into.

If they are under the control of the Royals and the Government are making the picks.
Or they are under the control of the Government and the Royals are making the picks.
Ask yourself the question?
What difference does it make anyway?
You think either of them know what boxing is all about ... honestly.
Handing out an MBE to a 26-27 year old guy who in 1999 had not fought a really serious fighter his whole career is enough to tell me they have not a clue what they are talking about.
It makes me laugh about society really.
It is like those people who read a 22 year olds biography
and take it seriously.To me thats what these people who create and hand out these awards come over like.
Unless that person found the cure for cancer or something similar then ... well no offence but, the chances are this individual probably didn't make the moves in life they claimed and there is a good chance you are reading a book from one of the spice girls and how they made it.
Yeh well, Hattons a fraud so this MBE sh!t suits him down to the ground.Evander wrote:Look at it this way.Taki... wrote:Doesn't the government (not the monarchy) hand out the gongs?Evander wrote:They gave Naseem Hamed the MBE in 1999.

These awards are given out to people who also do a lot of work in their communities as you could find out that hatton works with kids all the time but you would rather jump in and talk nonsense about something or someone you know nothing about and struggle to form any sort of lucid argument to support your bullshit take on things.
The Monarchy clearly has FA say in who gets an honour (Geoffrey Archer anyone?), The government trade off titles for cash, and occasionally hand out something to the GP and sportsmen who are seen as role models or ambassadors for their sport. Say what you like about Hatton, but his behaviour out of the ring is impeccable.
