How come the former world boxing champion "Prince" Naseem Hamed has been stripped of his MBE following his 15-month prison sentence for dangerous driving, and Lord Jeffrey Howard Archer, Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare (created Life Peer by Major in 1997), is not stripped of his title?
What is going on?
It seems that there is one rule for those in power and another for the rest of us.
Of course what Naseem did was appalling, but this is not the issue. We need to have confidence that the building blocks of the institutions of government cannot be used and abused by criminals with impunity.
It's about time we had a written constitution that gets rid of this ridiculous situation.
