" why is it patronising? You can do incredible generous work throughout your life, or be to of you field in sport, TV, film etc. And then you have to courtesy to a little old lady who gives you a medal to remind you that no matter what, she is still better than you for no other reason than who her parents were. " personally i think that is just some kind of inferiority complex to think of it that way. I dont see how being commended and recognised by anyone can be patronising. | |||

The world was up for grabs and everyone wanted a bit of that pie. It doesn't make it right, however the British empire did try to look after its subjects and when compard to the French or Belgiums, did a pretty good job of improving 3Rd world nations way of lives... Hence why so many countries are happy to accept the British monarchy for their own. As for the whole mbe, Obe, my great nan was given an mbe for the hard work and selflessness she put in during the war as a spitfire lady. That medal was one of her proudest possessions. | |||
