Paul Weller showed once again that age and money haven't blunted his beliefs:

From latest "MOJO" Magazine interview with the man himself:

MOJO: After The Brits it seems as if everyone wants to honour you these days: yet you apparently turned dwn the offer of a CBE last year.

WELLER; "Yeah, Some knighthood, a CBE, I'm not sure what it was. Someone approached Polly (Weller's press officer). I said, "Your joking ain'tcha?" I got a letter through, saying, "Blah, Blah - and the Prime Minister would like to have his photograph taken with you." Fucking hell, I don't want my photograph taken with a war criminal,Know what I mean?, Its weird.

Well done that man, remember this last year. They use honours as bribes or bargaining chips. There are loads of people knighted because they donate party to political parties.

In this case Blair wanted a photo opportunity, and Weller rightly turned him down as a war criminal. Top Man.
