She definitely pleased a pig - there's a you tube video

Edit : Our Bovine Experiance
Doesn't 'bovine' mean cows and cattle

EDIT to add: a quick google informs me that pigs are porcine

I'd give Emma Bunton one first! She deserves it more. And Sporty spice.

She did, apparently. Does that now disqualify her?
If it doesn't, it should!

Why?

I don't care that much tbh but she seems as good a candidate as any and far better than some.

For services to gormless pouting?
And looking permanently bored and miserable.

I think she fakes it believing it makes her look very important.

Why shouldn't a woman with a savy business mind & UN charity worker get an OBE for showcasing Britain on a world stage?
Possibly because there are others who would be far more deserving?

Anyone under the impression that these things go to the most deserving simply hasn't been paying attention for the last gazillion years.

Fair play to her. Such honours have gone to people who have done far less.

There's something wrong somewhere if you can get an OBE for being a publicity and attention hungry washed up has been who's still clinging on to the last shards of fame.

I wouldn't even want one. I don't see what is so great about it to be honest. It's just a title that means absolute nothing important at all.

Also, anybody can get these things. I looked at what you need to do in your life to get something like an OBE and all you need to do is be good at something. Seeing as everybody is good at something, that means that everyone qualifies for these things.

Services to fashion actually

Which seems fair enough, she has done rather well in that field after all.

Victoria was named a UN ambassador back in 2014, and has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of issues such as HIV and AIDS.
Tirelessly ?????

I'd rather VB get an honour than all the bloody Olympians who seem to get awarded an automatic OBE when they win a gold medal. Surely the gold medal is reward enough?

So she gets an award..... at the same time as her company is about to be fined and penalised for failing to publish her accounts to Companies House.

But it's amazing what money can buy.

But the more attention and publicity she gets, the more she craves and the more she craves, the more she gets and so on

I thought it's supposed to be kept secret?

Who leaked?
Tena Pants could be the answer to this in future
