Mark Millar trails behind Morrison again as he's awarded an MBE

[Colin YNWA]

Well it would seem Mark Millar is the next of the UK's comic hierarchy to kowtow to the Queen and get this establishment award.

If it makes him happy, well done him.

[Frank]

Well done him indeed.

[Richard]

Well where is John Wagner's? Pat Mills's? Alan Moore's?
Sort it out your Majesty!

[Mabs]

Pat Mills and Moore I guess wouldn't be too bothered about it! 

[Jim_Campbell]

Moore has already said he'd decline an honour if offered.

Cheers

And from that recent article where Pat Mills spoke of Defoe and The Levelers I could tell he just adored the monarchy.

[I, Cosh]

I'm always vaguely disappointed when someone I like accepts an honour. So, in the latest round, PJ Harvey's gone down in my estimation while Millar has no perceptible change.

Yep, got to agree with The Cosh here.....
When Mick Jagger accepted his honour from The Queen...I couldn't believe it !!......Rock & Roll ...Rebels...etc... Bahh !!  But, I suppose that's what he always wanted though,  to be finally accepted into the establishment....

Glad Keff still doesn't give a 'shit' about it all though !!.........

[TordelBack]

I know it's wrong, but every time I hear Millar's name in the same sentence as Morrison's, all I can think is:

"Me and Gwant -click- Me and Gwant -click-'". 

Curse you Thaaaaarg!

As to you subjects and the dispensation of feudal favour from on high, life is much better in a Republic: we only have to hear about how our rulers have rewarded the faithful when there's a Tribunal.

I know that CBE stands for Crawler to the British Establishment, but what does MBE stand for? ( don't say the Queen  )

Didn't know that was what CBE stood for !!...
As far as I'm aware, MBE stands for Member of the Bastard Elite !!

It certainly won't hurt his career in America (and now he's getting more and more involved in the film industry) - they love that shit.

That is so true !!!
Anything connected with British Royalty,  and they virtually 'fall over' themselves to get a piece......So 'career wise' probably a great move !!...

[Colin YNWA]

How does the SNP stand when it comes to the monarchy? Genuine question in case people think I'm stirring by the way. I have a preconceived notion, but that might be inaccurate. If independence was achieved would they retain Her Maj as head of state (could they, would they?)

Presumably, if Scotland stayed in the Commonwealth, they could retain the Queen as figurative head of state while exercising complete political independence.
