FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Three top advisors to Queen Elizabeth told the Commons public account committee that there is public “unease” about persistence of the word in modern day Britain.
Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire David Briggs said the word is “inappropriate” and “associated with ‘class’ [system].”
Lord Lieutenant of Clackmannanshire George Reid further suggested the word empire brings to the mind the sufferings of British subjects in its colonies over the past decades and centuries.
“One local resident of ethnic origin, whose family came from a former colony, said that he could never accept an honor ‘named after a system his family had fought to abolish’,” he said.
The debate was triggered by Prime Minister David Cameron’s proposals to bring back the British Empire Medal for people who do voluntary work.
The calls for the elimination of empire from honor system follows several high-profile rejections of royal titles by individuals from ethnic backgrounds.
“It reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalized,” Benjamin Zephaniah who is of Barbadian and Jamaican background said after rejecting on OBE in 2003.
The present honors order – the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire – was introduced by George V on June 4, 1917 and contains five classes in order of seniority: Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE), Knight (or Dame) Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE or DBE), Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE), Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) and Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE).
The first two titles are more widely known as knighthood and qualify the recipient to use the title of Sir or Dame before his/her name.
The British Empire Medal, which is not considered a class of the Order has not been used in Britain since 1993.
