Petition Details

This petition aims to remove the use of 'British Empire' in UK honorary titles, ending the continuation of colonial language.

E.g. 'Member of The British Empire' (MBE)
E.g. 'Officer of The British Empire (CBE)

Such awards should be reformed, finally bringing these titles into the modern age.
