g ov "I just think it is time to get rid of all these ridiculous gradations G "I am opposed to the honors system
â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
On the Net:
Britain's Honors System: www Government statistics show that between 2 and 4 percent of the top honors go to people from ethic minorities, who make up about 8 percent of the population
Most do so quietly, but last month poet Benjamin Zephaniah announced that he had rejected an OBE â€â€? Officer of the Order of the British Empire â€â€? because the title reminded him of "thousands of years of brutality
A prominent scientist, Colin Blakemore, threatened to resign as head of the Medical Research Council following reports that he was excluded from a knighthood because he is a vocal proponent of research on animals
Grumbling over titles is nothing new
This week, after the publication of the list, Prime Minister Tony Blair's government promised to make the system of awarding knighthoods and other honors more open Rolling Stones guitarist Richards â€â€? who apparently has not been offered an award â€â€? criticized Jagger for accepting the "paltry honor But in 1953, back in power, Churchill accepted a knighthood from the queen We need an open, simple, transparent system
Though the honors are bestowed by Queen Elizabeth II, she chooses only a few Most recipients are chosen by committees of civil servants from nominations made by the government and the public
About 2 percent of the 3,000 people chosen for honors each year decline, according to the government
Writer J "
However, one leaked document revealed that tennis star Tim Henman was being recommended for an OBE â€â€? Officer of the Order of the British Empire â€â€? to "add interest" to the list
The government wants to increase diversity on the selection committees â€â€? currently largely white, male and over 60 â€â€? and among recipients
"I think they are decided on a whim, I think they are capricious," said Labor Party lawmaker Gordon Prentice The whole thing is a preposterous charade," he was quoted as saying by The Sunday Times uk/ceremonial/
Still others, like Winston Churchill, change their minds â€â€? perhaps when later offered a higher rank or from a government more to their taste Blair and Mrs When the New Year's Honors are announced next week, Henman now is in the no-win situation of being revealed as considered but rejected, or given an honor for dubious reasons
But some lawmakers are calling for a bigger overhaul
Twice a year the government announces recipients of a host of titles, from knighthoods and damehoods to Companions of Honor, for exceptional achievement or service to the nation Britain to Cast Light on Honors System
Dec 23, 2:11 PM EST
Sir Mick Jagger was delighted to become a knight, while Keith Richards called it a disgrace "
The Cabinet Office said Monday that all decisions about honors were made "entirely on merit "
"Stick it, Mr cabinet-office
While rockers including Jagger, Elton John and Paul McCartney have been happy to accept knighthoods, many celebrities have quietly refused "
Bowie turned down a CBE â€â€? Commander of the British Empire â€â€? and was quoted as saying he would never accept a knighthood
The Sunday Times this week published a list of 300 well-known people â€â€? including singer David Bowie, comedian John Cleese and actors Albert Finney and Kenneth Branagh â€â€? who had declined honors since 1945 In the 13th century, when knights were expected to do military service, so many men declined the honor that King Henry III began imposing fines on those who refused, according to Debrett's Peerage & Baronetage
Churchill said he could not accept a knighthood of the Order of the Garter from King George VI after losing the 1945 election â€â€? "given the order of the boot by the people," as he put it Queen, stop going on about empire," he added in an article for The Guardian newspaper Ballard, whose novels include "Crash" and "Empire of the Sun," said he had turned down a CBE for services to literature The whole system really needs shaking up "I seriously don't know what it's for," he said
As with the Rolling Stones, so with British society: Some crave titles, some refuse them, some consider it all a joke
