Should any OBE's go to people in the 'Entertainment' industry and if so how should 'deserved' be defined?

the award system is a joke, i don't take it serious at all and rate the Blue Peter badge more highly

would guess the only people who deserve an OBE are the ones who have given more than £1000 to the labour party

It's always seemed strange to me. The whole title is "The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" and it represents an order of chivalry, how this applies to celebrities who do nothing other than their job seems odd, to say the least. If the recipitent does something extaordinary fair enough, but deserving doesn't seem to really mean that much, unless it's me just being mean spirited. Sacrifice and real effort is deserving.

I think people in the entertainment industry get the chance to receive enough awards
Things like the Pride of Britain awards should be what we focus on, not how much a 'celebrity' has contributed to society

I do not understand the honours system but OBE is known as "Other Buggers Efforts" I think it says it all

Well I think so. Look at Brucie. As I have said twice before, if everyone wanted to be like Kylie, the world would be a better place.

Deserved = pounds shillings and pence.
