From Design Week: -

Agent Provocateur founder Joseph Corré has rejected his MBE today in a political sideswipe to Tony Blair.

According to Corré’s spokeswoman, the decision to reject the MBE ‘came on reflection’ after the award was made.

In a statement today, Corré rejected the gong, calling the Prime Minister ‘morally corrupt’ and claiming that Tony Blair was not ‘someone capable of giving an honour’.

    Was Blair even involved in the decision for that one? And it’s the monarch who bestows them, not Blair.

    In his own estimation, Blair is king of all he surveys.

    Hamer,

    That’s him. Nice work if you can get it.

    FC,

    Not sure who was behind that one. I suppose it’s rallying against the establishment as proxy.

    anticant,

    For another week, at least.
