Mister M Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Victoria Beckham's up & coming award of an OBE has sent many flying into a hissy fit. Many, such as MPs Peter Bone & Andrew Bridgen, are angry that upon hearing the news VB leaked the info, calling such behaviour as a "a betrayal of etiquette", and have suggested that the OBE be withdrawn for that reason. Others are wondering what she has done to earn the award. Personally I don't care for the woman. Though getting an OBE these days is hardly newsworthy, in that I just don't see it as a big deal. Just wondered what people on here thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppet2 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Her collections cost £2000 plus and are nothing spectacular. Quite frankly people need a medal for wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The MPs are correct, it is bad etiquette, if Mrs Beckham did leak her award. I agree awards do seem to be giving out like confetti these days, especially to sportsmen and sportswoman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I agree awards do seem to be giving out like confetti these days, especially to sportsmen and sportswoman. We have had a very good run of success in the last two olympics, so it's only right those achievements are recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 We have had a very good run of success in the last two olympics, so it's only right those achievements are recognised. They already had been recognised by the medals they were awarded at the last two Olympic Games. Also with the amount of lottery funding these sports people achieve, it is much easier for them to win medals then previous generations of UK sports people.

Just wondered what people on here thought? I'd be more concerned about the honourary degrees being given out. A degree is supposed to be a qualification that is earned not something to bestow on someone because they were on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamston Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Then how come our national football team still sucks ? A combination of bad management and the players not caring as much, as other Nations to perform well in the major tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 A combination of bad management and the players not caring as much, as other Nations to perform well in the major tournaments. All the more reason to acknowledge our sportsmen and women who did win an olympic medal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
