This proud and rather traditionally-minded 2018 recipient of an honour thinks it’s high time this happened. How about it, @UKLabour? excellencenotempire.co.uk/.

It’s an honour… or it should be.
We need an honours system that breaks from our colonial past. One simple name change can make it the celebration of excellence we want it to be. Please support our campaign for an honours system we can all be proud of #ExcellenceNotEmpire

It is such a simple and obvious solution which I support. Surely better to be honoured for excellence - than some outdated & outrageous appendages of Empire.
