Re: Honours System
There was the story that the people wanted Sadam out, he was a terroir to his people.
But the west refused to do anything.
So a story about WMD was fabricated by some bright ones there, the result, he got the chop
But how many others desecrate the system?
Spent six months with the Tax office head office London back in late 60's, was working for contract caterers there.
The public servants, if those there were evidence of all public servants then no wonder there are some very odd awards given.
Pack of old crocks who had more consideration for their upcoming leave than anything such as the correct manner of initiating an award.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Honours System
The British got rid of Qaddafi in Libya as well never mind who killed him, he was in the beginning of putting huge water pipes one could drive a double decker bus through, he intended covering the Country with the help of the oil money, but someone else thought the money would be better off in their foreign pockets, it has always been so in the Middle East.
