    Naseem Hamed is stripped of his MBE.

    Former world featherweight boxing champion "Prince" Naseem Hamed has been stripped of an honour bestowed on him by Britain's Queen Elizabeth in 1998.

    According to the website of the London Gazette, the official newspaper of the crown, the queen ordered Hamed's MBE honour should be annulled as of December 12, 2006.

    Hamed was released early from jail last September after serving only a few weeks of a 15-month sentence for dangerous driving and seriously injuring a motorist when he crashed his Mercedes sports car at a speed of around 90 miles per hour head-on into another car in England's Peak District.

    The other driver, Anthony Burgin, had several bones broken in the crash.

    The London Gazette notice said: "The Queen has directed that the appointment of Naseem Hamed to be a Member of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, dated 31 December 1998, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order."

    British media quoted Hamed's former trainer, Brendan Ingle, as saying it would be a big blow for him to lose the honour.

    "This will really upset him," Ingle told the Mirror newspaper. "

    He was delighted at receiving the award from the Queen. Afterwards he was so proud he used to show it to everyone."

            My first thought too, flaky mate.

            Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



            May the Lord bless this post.

                  Hamed is a cnut blanket of the highest order.

                    I don't have a problem with Hamed being stripped of his honour. I don't see why Archer shouldn't too though.

                      I don't think it's as simple as that. Honours such as the MBE or OBE aren't protected by legislation as far as I know - they are at the whim of the sovereignty. Life peerages are legislated under the Life Peerages Act. Ironically, Archer has previously proposed new legislation to strip life peers of their titles if they don;t show up in the Lords regularly without good reason. He said new legislation was required because he could find no current way of stripping them of their titles. So it may well be entrenched.

                        Cheers. It's not right that Archer has kept his though.

                          No, probably not. But then, I'm not totally au fait with his voting record in the Lords. Maybe he is worth having there. At least he does something for his title, which makes it slightly better than Hamed's situation.

                            He didn't do anything for his title in the first place though, did he?

                            Two wrongs, etc.

                            Anyway, we agree on Hamed which is nice.

                              I guess every life peerage is a political appointment by its nature, so he has Major to thank for that. The seven minutes he spent in public service probably don't constitute a worthy reason for a peerage...

                              He did predict well in advance that Major would be PM though. I mean, nobody else saw something as ridiculous as that happening. Does that get him props?

                              I think the idea of a Barony of Weston-super-Mare just tickled someone deeply. You can't blame them.
