Perverting the course of justice may be hounorable


Let me get this right, "The West Ham footballer Terry Sheringham...was arrested on May 15 on suspicion of perverting the course of justice". And, last week the Queen in her Birthday Honours list awarded him a MBE. I would have thought it would have been better to have withheld the award of this honour to see if he was fit to receive it. If he is found not guilty all well and good. If he is found guilty, it would appear that the Queen approves of perverting the course of justice and, at the least, it is worth a MBE. What are we making all the fuss about in the cash for honours scandal, which also involves perverting the course of justice and there we are talking about a Knighthood or Peerage? I just get confused if honourable means dishonourable and vice versa.
