Roy's MBE was for services to Folk music (I assume) proposed by Folk music people and accepted as such. This makes it an award given not by the government but by The Queen on behalf of the people of this country

Roy's political beliefs are not those of all of us (folkies) on every issue

I personally believe that the Rule of Law needs to come from the people of any country, and dictatorships and oppression cannot be tolerated

Such an act (to return his MBE) must be heart rendering and a very great gesture

When I started this I thought he was in err, and had sleighted the Folk Community, now I really dont know!!
