Absolutely. Monty Python can't even air in lots of places now. I get that they were poking fun a lot at bigotry, but many skits were downright, blatantly racist or homophobic by today's standards, (and certainly were back then, too). But that's OK though because times have changed, and he made his money from it. Just like the slavers once did, right? Furthermore, Her Late Majesty the Queen did more for decolonization and upholding human rights worldwide than any other single person in history, so to equate a medal he received depicting St. Michael crushing the devil to murdering George Floyd says far more about his thought processes than anyone else.

Seems they feel pretty "comfortable" when receiving the honours - and getting the publicity that goes with it; don't mind using the Royals for personal gain, then bashing them for more publicity and $$$ ... Gee, wonder who that reminds me of??

Just jumping on the "woke" bandwagon! When the tide turns - and it will because we are sick of it - it will bite them on the behind!!

These celebrities display their wilful ignorance. It was the government of the day that imposed slavers, just as it was the British Parliament that abolished slavery in 1783 by the efforts of William Wiberforce, who persuaded the then PM William Pitt to introduce the Abolition Bill into Parliament. Of note, the British abolished slavery some 90 years before America. Celebrities seem to have difficulty in comprehending that the British Monarchy is of a Constitutional model, and as such, do not have the power to interfere with the processes of Parliament. The corollary to 3:03 this, is that slavery, up until 1783 was tolerated by the British public who were free at any time to petition Parliament to abandon the practise. Celebrities embarrass themselves with their lack of knowledge

I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinion but my estimation of Michael Palin has certainly dropped now as I didn’t know he was such a staunch anti monarchist and such a self flagellator of Britains history

In the early 1970's my father-in-law was awarded an MBE and he was so proud of the honour. He was an ordinary working man who worked hard in the electricity industry all his life and was also a special policeman, this ordinary man wouldn't have been so discourteous to the royal institution. Why do these so called celebrities who change their minds about receiving these special honours have to make such a fanfare over returning them when they could do it quietly without publicity. This sort of behaviour shows them in an unfavourable light.

I'd respect anyone who (quietly & politely) refused an honour because of their principles, but not those who make a fuss about how wonderful and woke they are and send them back. No-one forces them to take an honour- it is offered, you can refuse....

They lost their mind because of money

I loathe people that are as loyal as a handful of sweaty $100 bills . Big 👋 wave Neil .

I worked at a theatre where Brian Cox started his career in rep. He was then, and continues to be, an arrogant big headed twerp. He worked alongside Dame Penelope Wilton, Sir Michael Hordern, and other luminaries of stage and screen. He now lives in New York, and would he realistically reject a knighthood if he were offered one? 😂 Sir Michael Palin accepted his knighthood in 2019; so what changed in those 5 years? I'd accept an honour, and I hope I receive mine when you receive your Neil, and then we can go for a cuppa and some jammie dodgers! ❤ 🙋‍♂️

They should be ashamed of themselves!

I never understood giving royal honors to most of the celebrity / entertainer recipients, what really have they done to deserve it ? Some don’t seem to have earned the honor nor do they appreciate it. What has become of us ? Where is the humility and loyalty ?

People who refuse royal awards should never be nominated or selected for this awards. There are many more people who really deserve this awards and would appreciate it.

Hi Neil..Canada here.. Thank you for showing the hypocrasy of these two men. I am curious about how much thought, attention and time is put in by those making up these honours lists. Of course the reciepents can lie, which these men have obviously done.

It shows what hypocrites these people really are. I stopped watching their shows a long while ago when I was young we used to call these sorts of people two-faced

Lost respect for Brian Cox

Sean Connery did the same…Brian Cox lives in America, so why is he offered parts in this country, there are many excellent actors that can play those roles that live in this country.

I have little regard for these hypocritical so-called celebrities, stars or wherever and their nonsensical pontifications....they are meaningless.

Good to hear from you, Neil.

Hand back your CBE Mr Cox, we are not buying that you only hold onto it because your sister is a royalist. The honour was handed to you not your sister. Also Mr Cox, if you are such a great Scottish patriot, why is your main residence in the US and your second in England?

Oh no, this is the kind of juvenile nonsense we were served up when the Beatles were young.

I’m guessing your opinion and I agree wholeheartedly.

Will not watch anything of theirs. Not from hypocrites !!!! Hope their ratings drop big time

Never taken to Palin, can't stand his voice or his delivery. Always turned off or over. As for Cox, he's a former SNP promoter. Thanks Neil.

Hiya Neil 🌞 IMO these people need to trace slavery from its roots back in true history -including the white slave trade ( which still exists today!!),and recognise that the orignal slavers were phonecians/arabs- who kidnapped their own peoples to barter for goods around the world! All the way through those people who also sold themselves as indentured slaves ect,and then recognise the types of slavery as well as the eras and social moires that directed them.The doing away with latter day slavery was also enabled greatly by the British monarchy if they studied their history!! But I guess ignorance is bliss,despite one wishing that educated/ factually informed,considered opinions were given as well. One of the reasons why we prefer your journalism over the msm s sensationalism. 😊Waving to one and all,J.I.M.K Mrs. (Not Damien, his Mother. )Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 ♥ 😊

Said it before, where is the due diligence for the people who are presented with an honor? As far as being upset by history, I doubt any country in the world doesn't have some past they are ashamed ed of. Can't cha ge the past, can make sure the "now" and future is corrected.

I’ve never understood why the RF gives Titles and Knighthoods to celebrities. There are so many ‘normal’ citizens who do great things for their communities, schools, children, women’s shelters, abused children, etc. A great majority donate their time, just like the working royals. If the RF is handing out Titles, Awards, Knighthoods, they should do so with the Military and the humble working class heroes. Instead of the ultra wealthy recognizing people of wealth and fame they should zero in on those who actually make a contribution to society!
