    I thought these awards were given for charitable or voluntary work, or doing something extraordinary. ML had made a lot of money from the MSE business. So another rich businessman getting an outdated honour.

    Well done Martin. It is lovely to see that you have been awarded an OBE for all the work you have done and the help you have given people and, too, the fact that you have given hope to those who were in despair.

  • Such sycophantic fawning!

    The overinflated ego pervades every corner of the website, including a picture of him at the top of every page!

    Yes, a useful site, but how come the people who are not worth £80M who dispense good advice to people in advice centres everywhere are not worthy of a gong?
