Ahem. I do like the idea that our glorious nation can honour its citizens who do public good. But I look at the MBEs and OBEs and see some genuine people who've done genuine good by sheer hard graft and I'm inspired and uplifted. Then I look at the CBEs and the knighthoods and, by and large, I see big businessmen, wealthy lords, and lucky millionaires such as Sir bloody Cliff, Sir bloody Bob, Sir bloody Alan, Sir bloody Paul, Sir bloody Mick and who's that scruffy sod who runs Virgin and is so bored with life that he has to fly silly balloons around the world, I forget his name.   To be honest, if I were Sir Salman I'd say to the queer old dean at the sword-swatting ceremony that I'll settle for an MBE, old girl - I really don't fancy joining the wealthy toadie brigade! Let's keep the whole silly charade in proportion! :-)
