I assume not all the refusers refused on political grounds though.
Some might have thought they weren't worthy, or were just embarrassed/didn't want all the fuss.
Hmm, would you or wouldn't you?
EDIT: Accept an MBE, that is, not do B.F.

If it was Liam Fox I'd call the News of the World.
Nope. I would choose Gerald Davies to have dinner with who was my sporting hero when I was a nipper. The royal family can go and right royally f**k off as far as I'm concerned. As for edit. I would accept it but they can send it to me. After all they didn't noinate me now did they.

Does it actually do anything useful, having a royal honour? Can you nip into a palace if you need a pee whilst out and about?

I know someone who has a MBE and he's very proud of it. That's all that matters. But I think it should enable you to pop in and have a piddle in the palace if your caught short around the Marble Arch area
