Stuart Hall obe,
I hope they don't go too far and leave him missing a lobe.

I think they should create a ceremony out of it, ie the holder has to be marched from prison wearing their OBE, and then before an invited assembly, with drums rolling, the Queen approaches and grabs hold of the OBE and rips it from the disgraced persons chest.

Interesting vision AOG - not sure if her Maj would go for it, but it would focus the minds of future recipients, and maybe teach them to behave!

Something like this AOG?

That was great and almost what I meant, but I can't see that one would be able to snap a sword in half over one's knee, unless it had been 'heat treated' (temped) incorrectly.

There's even a military air to accompany the dishonouring, The Rogues March.
