John Byrne, formerly a MBE


John Byrne, the artist and author, recently returned his MBE to ... the Queen, presumably, in protest of the British involvement in the Iraq war. He said he would have returned it sooner but he'd lost it under a "pile of stuff".

I'm assuming that John Byrne, who is Scottish, is no longer proud to be British. I guess it don't matter too much how you get there.
