I never understand why people get MBEs for doing their job…always seems to be those in the public sector too…Well done to Ewan Easton THE only voluntary one it would seem !!
I suspect most readers have themselves or maybe their parents worked all thier lives don’t even get the livable pension they paid for..yet the public sector get MBEs for turning up to work…go figure ???
RichP…how do you know that Ewan Easton was the only one to get his MBE for voluntary work? Just because it hasn’t said so in the article it doesn’t mean that each of the other people awarded got their for ‘just doing their job’. I know for a fact that at least one of the other (very deserved) ‘winners’ has been awarded theirs for voluntary services. Please do not judge others that have been deemed worthy of such an honour when you don’t know enough about the situation to pass comment! Well done to each of six, I think Warrington should be proud that we do indeed have ‘Six of the best!’
