#ExcellenceNotEmpire

Congrats to everyone awarded an honour in the Kings Birthday List today. If you believe we need an honours system we can all be proud of please support our campaign. A simple name change can make Honours the celebration of excellence we want it to be #ExcellenceNotEmpire

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

Absolutely !

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 Surely better to be honoured for excellence - than some outdated & outrageous appendages of Empire.

Congratulations to everyone recognised in the King’s NY Honours List. If you believe honours should be a celebration of excellence please support our campaign for an honours system we can all be proud of #ExcellenceNotEmpire

If you received an honour today, warmest congratulations. Check out our campaign for one simple word change to break with our colonial past, and please consider joining #ExcellenceNotEmpire ⬇️
