prince naseem

[stokeace]

why was prince naseem stripped of his honour when jeffrey archer was allowed to keep his title and yet he served time in prison for perjury and libel?is there 1 law for 1 and 1 for the other or is it a social thing that archer was allowed to keep his title.

[LazyGun]

Don't know.... it certainly seems unbalanced.

[stokeace]

maybe its because he has friends in higher places then a mere boxer...............................

Lester Piggott lost his after he was jailed for tax evasion...
Just goes to show how loyal the Queen is..he rode loads of winners for her but because he stashed �300k under his bed she decides to strip him of his honour...the 2 faced mare

ELVIS: The Queen does not decide who get's the honours or who loses them that's the governement, or more specifically his Tonyness so it's not Her Majesty who decides who loses their gong.

That also answers the question, there is no consistency here as there is no consistency in any of TB's actions.

Maybe the party in power does not want to intrude in anothers party's affairs. For instance the Labour Party would not like to be responsible for removing honours from the Tory Party members such as Jeffrey Archer or maybe they can make more capital from him holding onto it.

I had to laugh when I saw Archer on that show where they give money away to people who have to explain why they deserve it...It should go like this:

Archer: So why should I give you the money?

Contestant: Because I'm a prostitute who you claim to have never met!

Because Prince Naseem is not really British anyway. He is an Asian chav who can hardly speak the Queens English. He may have been a good boxer but he was and still is an ignorant peasant who should give every penny he has to help the tragic victim of his poor Asian orientated driving.
