Communists in UK?
It seems to me that a recent report suggesting the end of the Order of the British Empire might be a long over due updating of the British award system is foolhearty idea.
The United Kingdom has certainly seen better days-- Their armed forces are pretty much the sixth branch of the American Military (and when they act independently, they are more like a flatulant old maid then a modern army). The great poets, philosophers, and politicians of the UK are all so last century.
So without the Order of the British Empire, can the UK seriously hope to be have a great culture?
The critiques of the system point out that the commoners in England no longer feel the system is representational of the nation-state, that it promotes a class structure left over from the industrial revolution. Class Structure? Commoners? Sounds like communism to me.
Long live the Empire. Long live the Queen.
