Seems all you need to do now is to help one person (not a community) and you get honoured. For real?
I've always said these "gongs" are issued like confetti but this proves it. How can fundraising for one person deserve an honour? I know a postie that worked the same village for some 65+ years and throughout the time he'd go get shopping for people and generally was a Good Samaritan, loved & respected by a whole community for his actions that affected many lives over numerous years.
That man deserved his MBE. He met the criteria.
So now we have one lass that was sat on her arse doing nothing, clicked a few buttons on her PC and she's now been given a "gong".
