Ghanaians are not used to rules being enforced against highly placed individuals, which is why they're shocked that Partey was denied entry into Canada.
Then people ask, "Why did the United States allow him entry but not Canada?" Do Canada and the United States have the same immigration policies?
Absolute hogwash. Comparing an MBE to a legal document required to verify identity for most important things in life.
Great ragebait for the Elon bucks I guess…
That British passport you accepted is far more powerful than an MBE. Citizenship of the British empire is far more important than being given an award within it. A lot of you are hypocrites and you’re not ready for that conversation.
A lot of people are hypocrites.
They’ll happily carry a British passport, vote in British elections, use the NHS, claim British citizenship, represent Britain abroad and enjoy all the rights that come with belonging to the UK.
But then act shocked when someone accepts an MBE.
If your argument is that anything connected to the British Empire is morally unacceptable, then surely the passport has to go first.
A British passport isn’t just a travel document.
It’s a certificate of membership.
It literally says you are a British citizen and asks foreign governments to recognise and protect you as one.
That’s a far deeper relationship with the British state than receiving a medal.
An MBE doesn’t give you citizenship.
It doesn’t give you voting rights.
It doesn’t give you residency.
It doesn’t even give you a discount on the Tube.
It’s simply recognition.
You don’t have to agree with every chapter of British history to accept recognition from modern Britain.
Just as you don’t have to agree with every chapter of British history to carry a British passport.
Personally, I don’t care whether someone accepts an MBE or rejects one.
I just find it fascinating when people condemn one while carrying the other in their back pocket.

My sister is just finishing year 13 and has made great use of iPad Air she got 2 years ago.
The official Apple Pencil is also worth the money. She had the high quality dupes initially, but after a while, they stopped working (even the free replacement she got).
Everyone saying we grew up without social media is a liar. There was Hi5, MySpace, Bebo, MSN , Skype , BBM and eventually WhatsApp.
95% of everyone over 30 used at least one of these during their teens. If you didn’t you either was a teen before they existed or didn’t have WiFi
Fuck Stamer Fuck Macron Fuck all these western governments shoving digital ID and age verification down our throats and pretending they care about minors
I will spend the rest of my days trying free women from white toenail polish. Not that’s it’s actually ugly on all feet it’s just very inauthentic and I cannot forget the bar in rap that made every spineless girl decide that’s her favorite toe polish 🥴🤞🏿
