What is / was SHE thinking of???

[princealbertofb]

What do you expect? She is 80 something... but that's still no excuse for a lack of empathy.

Here's the story about the award to the old SOB.

Wow that's just sad and non-logical on so many levels! It's weird because the majority of the UK support gay rights.

[Cuddly]

Long drawn out sigh.

I wonder how much the Queen of England has to do with the honours, other than giving them. Is she even picking the people? The guy is obviously some kind of lunatic, who seems to think gays can control the weather.

Makes me proud of our danish Queen.

The Queen does not choose the honours. They are chosen by the government of the day and unless someone has done something extremely egregious, they would not be denied their prize.

So even if he'd done some good things in the past, it seems his diatribe agains the LGBTQ community was all too recent for him to commend an award of any kind. He's just a fool.

Mills, a Democratic Unionist Party councillor for Ballymena, is a “committed born again Christian” and has been awarded the MBE for his services to local Government.

NO, he's a NEEDS TO BE COMMITTED born again Christian, TYVM.

[Virge]

Maybe he and Pat Robertson ought to do a television special

Isn't Elton John already higher up in the Order than this guy anyway?
