    If he was really standing up to the Queen, he would've done it in person instead of his chauffeur

      Lennon was a coward and an obnoxious lout!
      He would never criticize his mummy and master Yoko Ono!
      He took orders from that caterwauling pariah!

      John proved what an absolute phoney he really was!
      John orchestrated a trip for his wife Cynthia Powell to get her out of the country!
      Once Cynthia left on a vacation to Greece, the deceitful Lennon invited Yoko Ono to his home on May 3,1968. They recorded their embarrassing "Unfinished Music Two Virgins" and by the early dawn, they had sex on May 5,1968 with little Julian in the house!
      Lennon impregnated Ono during this encounter.
      When Cynthia returned, she moved out with Julian and Yoko Ono moved in!

    The real reason Lennon returned his MBE is because his mummy Yoko told him to return it!

    John was always cocky and thought he always had answers even though they were quite silly and this is just another bit of his own "self publicity"he always liked a good argument! anyway I loved him and the Beatles and at the time we were all taken up in the moment.

    1. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II was not the person who made the decision to give the Beatles the MBE in the first place. It was merely her duty to follow through on the actions of a group of persons who recognised The Beatles' contribution towards helping Britain recover her economy and repay her war debts.
    2. The award of the MBE was an act of gratitude, not recognition of any approval of gratuitous imperialistic warfare that any member of The Beatles might have given.
    2. Lennon was wrong, then, to return the MBE. It was a grubby, foul, narcissistic, peevish act of self-importance. Barely anyone then, and no-one with half a brain since, has given a toss about Lennon's self-serving, virtue-signalling gesture. It was practically meaningless then. It means nothing now.
    3. Lennon turned his back on Britain, went the USA and got himself murdered. Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II outlived him by four decades.

      Jesus christ, you can argue about the value of the act of protest, and god knows there’s a lot to dislike about John Lennon, but this here is some real bootlicky bullshit. Fuck the Queen, fuck “majesty”.

      Lots of people applauded Lennon, as was their prerogative, as it was his to do it. No feudal, grubby, foul, narcissistic, self-important arse-licking serf can alter that.

      I seem to remember Johnny holding a meeting with Paul, George and Ringo on May 18,1968, just 13 days after he bedded Yoko Ono in his wife's bed!, and announced that he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ!
      John Lennon comparing himself to Jesus Christ after having an affair with another woman in his wife's bed!
      How truly disrespectful and absurd!

      @@RaulMacias-gv3le I don't know about that. He was very intelligent and talented but complex with childhood issues and drug taking. And he was taking heroin with his own her majesty at the time. Trying to stop which is the reference to Cold Turkey the song going down in the charts. I believe that was a step too far. Showing silly self importance there. He is annoying on the new doco that Peter Jackson put together. He obviously doesn't want to be there. And acting like a kid wise cracking and jumping around. Yoko sitting on his lap. They were all conscious of being on camera. And it didn't help that they were at loggerheads with lawyers and finances. However there are moments of synchronicity and the old frisson happening inspite of themselves. I think that Paul was a paragon of patience. It's fascinating to watch the dynamics. But the return of the MBE was a political protest against British involvement and British imperialism. I applaud him as these things are still happening. Though Yoko probably did have a hand in it having John's ear. But who knows? Only them. And thinking about it Japan had their own issue of the Emperor with no clothes. John is still my favorite song writer. However I am coming to admire Paul very much. Ringo too was the peacemaker. And George largely overlooked through the tight collaboration of the two main writers. Though I just saw George stating that he had several ideas inputs into several different songs and he wasn't credited for as it was put to him that JL was upset about not being credited for an idea or a line in one of George's songs. I'll have to look that up again. They certainly were a creative bunch.
