An
alternative
offering
Reece
ECENTLY
various
“news”
(and
I
honours
because
of
the
Empire’s
association
with
“slavery
and
brutality”.
There’s
no
point,
of
course,
in pointing
out
to
those
that
take
offence
at
the
word
“Empire”
that
the
Slave
Trade
Act,
which
prohibited
the
trade
of
slaves
in
the
British
Empire,
was
passed
in
1807
and
the
Slavery
Abolition
Act,
which
did
away
with
slavery
completely
across
British
held
territories
was
passed
in
1833,
both
well
before
the
age
that most
people
think
of
when
they
hear
the
words
“British
Empire”.
To
many
the
words
are
synonymous
with
the
formation
of
the
British
Raj
but
that
didn’t
happen
until
1858.
There
was
of
course
a
“British
Empire”
before
that
date
but
most
seem
to
associate
it
most
closely
with
Queen
Victoria,
probably
because,
unlike
her
predecessors,
she
actually
used
the
title
Empress,
but
she
didn’t
come
to
the
throne
until
four
years
after
slavery
had
been
abolished.
Certainly
at
the
height
of
its
power,
when
it
was
the
Empire
on
which
the
sun
never
set,
the
British
Empire
had
no
slaves
within
it,
the
penalties
for
slave
owning
were
harsh,
but
that’s
irrelevant.
The
British
had
used
slaves,
used
them
extensively
in
the
North
American Colonies
in
particular,
and
to
pretend
otherwise
would
be
wrong,
and
perhaps
to
state
that that
era
wasn’t
really
the
“British
Empire”
as
most
would
think
of
it,
is
just
semantics.
For
whatever
reason,
right
or
wrong,
some
find
the
use
of
the
word
“Empire”
in
our
current
Honours
System
offensive;
that
is
not
in
doubt
and
the
issue
was
again
highlighted
earlier
this
year
by
the
Labour
MP
for
Wigan,
Lisa
Nandy,
who “demanded”
that
it
be
dropped.
Certainly
numerous
people
over
the
years
have
rejected
an
OBE
or
MBE
because
of
the
word
Empire
within
it.
It
is,
of
course,
absolutely
their
right
to
do
so
if
they
wish,
but
here’s
the
thing—an
awful
lot
of
other
people
would
find
it
equally
as
offensive
if
the
word
Empire
was
dropped
just
to
appease those
who
didn’t
like
it.
That's
the
trouble
with
“offence”,
which
seems
to
be
taken
at
the
drop
of
a
hat
these
days,
very
rarely
does
everybody
agree
on
exactly
what
is
offensive
(and
why)
and
often
when
something
is
declared
to
be
so
others
find
that
action
itself
“offensive”.
You
simply
cannot
win.
However,
there
is,
perhaps,
a
way
out
of
this
without
upsetting
one
side
or
the
other—why
not
create
a
brand
new
Order?
One
that
appeals
to
everybody,
or
at
the
very
least
annoys
one
side
a
little
less
than
the
other.
After
all,
regardless
of
whether
you
find
the
word
Empire
offensive
or
not,
there
is
no
denying
that
it
is
a
little
anachronistic
in
the
21st
century.
We
simply
don’t
have
an
Empire
any
longer,
so
still
having
an
Order
that represents
it
must
seem
a
little
odd
to
many.
Now
don’t
get
me
wrong,
I’m
not
advocating
the
abolishment
of
the
Order
of
the
British
Empire
at
all,
I’m
a
traditionalist
and
personally
would
be
absolutely delighted
to
receive
such
an
honour,
anachronistic
or
not,
but
I do
understand
why
others
might
not
feel
the
same
way.
This
being
the
case,
why
not
offer
them
an
alternative?
An
“Order
of
the
British
Commonwealth”,
for
example.
Same
criteria,
similar
insignia,
same
kudos,
just
a
little
more
up
to
date
and
not
quite
such
a
problem
for
those
who,
for
whatever
reason,
don’t
want
anything
to
do
with
an
“Empire”.
It
wouldn’t
really
be
that
difficult
to
administer—those
nominating
the
person for
an
honour
would
simply
state
which
one
they
would
prefer
the
recipient
to
receive;
one assumes
they
would
know
the
recipient
well
enough
to
be
able
to
make
that
decision
so
it
shouldn't
be
too
hard.
It
might
even
be
possible
for
people
to
swap
one
for
the
other
were
the
nominators
to
get
it
wrong—so
if
you
get
notice
that
you're
going
to
be
appointed
an
OBE,
but
feel
you
can’t
accept
it
because
of
the
last
letter,
instead
of
refusing
it
you
could
simply
say
that
you’d
prefer
an
OBC.
That's
the
thing
about
our
Honours
System,
it
can
change,
indeed
has
done
so
regularly
over
the
centuries
and
there’s
nothing
wrong
with
that—the
introduction
of
a
new
medal
or
Order
here,
the
swapping
of
one
thing
for
another
there,
it’s
all
been
done
before
and
generally
works
quite
well,
so
why
not
do
it
again?
Far
better
that
than
to
simply
drop
the
word
Empire
altogether
just
to
appease
some
whilst
surely
upsetting
many
more.
