Is there a customer service counter at Buckingham Palace? If there is Joseph Corre needs to know where it is. Mr. Corre is the founder of the Agent Provocateur lingerie empire and was recently awarded an MBE, presumably for service to the fantasy life of the nation's males, in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. Initially he was chuffed but has now changed his mind and has decided that he doesn't want the award. He has delineated his reasons for his volte face thusly:
"I have been chosen by an organisation headed by a Prime Minister who I find morally corrupt. Who has been involved in organised lying, to the point where thousands of people, including children, have suffered death, detention and torture in Afghanistan and Iraq. This in no way reflects on my opinion of the Queen whom I respect and would be honoured to have as a customer."
For those of you who may be unaware of how Mr. Corre earns his living I have thoughtfully provided a sample of his wares to the left. (Note: the items of lingerie are produced by Mr. Corre's firm; the wearer of the wares is none other than Croydon's own lovely Ms. Kate Moss.)
