June Sarpong...

MBE - Porquoi?

Has she done stuff we don't know about? Not being funny - Genuine Question.

And happy new year.

Well services to broadcasting.. I never realised they didn't need to be good services I can think of more deserving people to be honest - there's a whole selection of quiz channel hosts to choose from for example.

Agreed. What on god's earth has she done apart from make me swear out loud.

"June is an ambassador for the Prince’s Trust and also campaigns for the Make Poverty History movement – in April 2005 she visited Ghana to make a film for Make Poverty History. She also hosted the major Make Poverty History event in London’s Trafalgar Square in summer 2005 on behalf of Nelson Mandela and Sir Bob Geldof."

Well....according to Wikipedia anyway. Must admit I found it a surprising choice!

Thank you - that's the answer I was looking for... Anyone know how to get involved with this Prince's Trust malarky....? And thank you, Ben... lol.

wonder if the BBC article - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6217751.stm - is trying to make a suggestion when it mentions that

hahahahaha - there is only one things I can say to this:-

LOL

At least it wasn't Lembit...

But surely the key question to ask in relation to the gong is whether she lent David the money for the taxi fare home?

Can't believe that Brucie STILL hasn't got a knighthood, what a disgrace

Probably her interview with Tory Bliar.

But why should we be surprised? This year's honours were a shambles of cronyism and wrong priorities. On one hand the official who sexed up the Iraq gets knighted! On the other, a gong for a woman working with "sex workers" ie. prostitutes...

I second that opinion 110%. The fact that Brucie's been overlooked yet again is an absolute sham and a total mockery!
60+ years in services to entertainment clearly mean jack s**t to the complete idiots that decide who get these honours.
