    October 23rd 2003….. to work hard, you must be honest and to perform your duties at best of your ability in order to stand for a honour such as this. Unfortunetly it just shows that people like this get an MBE. Its just sick and disturbing. So I hope that in your mind you think you deserve such an award at the end of the day. This is not personal just the truth.
