Are men of fashion the only men left?
Joe Corre, one of the founders of lingerie company Agent Provocateur, has rejected a MBE from the Queen. He said: “To accept this MBE as an honour would mean to me that I would have to accept the prime minister as someone capable of giving an honour i.e. an honourable man, which I cannot find it in my heart to do.”
And what are the reasons he finds Mr. Blair “morally corrupt”? Iraq, Afghanistan and the erosion of civil liberties. Good job Mr. Corre. You get a hoot from Grumpy. Your lingerie gets two. The ladies within, three.

Yes. Yes it is.
You know, for all their problems, the British used to have a decent culture. Whatever happened to that?

Thatcher was the last nail in the coffin.
