What does it take to get an OBE or MBE these days



The Order of the British Empire was founded by King George V to fill gaps in the British honours system. King George V wanted to honour thousands of people who served Great Britain in non-combatant rolls during the Great War. Since then the honours system has been perverted to honour those who serve against British interests.
It is important to point out that honours are still awarded to a large number of people who do deserve them and that Her Majesty the Queen isn’t responsible for deciding who gets them.
