He turned it down because the empire is all about slavery.... maaaaan.

What a moron.
I'm specifically irritated at his racially motivated comments regarding the history of slavery and also his attack on Blair regarding being "tough on crime", as he clearly believes that this is not the case because his family have suffered from crime. What an utter tool.

Why? Because he turned down an award? Because you'd love to have one? He's gone far up in my estimation this morning by turning it down.

Why? Because he turned down an award? Because you'd love to have one? He's gone far up in my estimation this morning by turning it down.
I don't quite agree with the method in which he has declined the OBE (i.e. the article), but admire his reasons if they *are* legitimate.
And flaying in public is a bit harsh. I only think "The Darkness" should suffer that punishment ;)

Spent his life trying to fight empire? Isn't that a Film/TV magazine?
Skywalker turned down an OBE?
