WHAT is going on when someone working at the Tax Office gets an MBE just for doing a well paid job (Citizen, January 11).

"I have not done this for any reward, " says this person.

Did they do it for free? Did anyone else at the office get an MBE? If not, why not?

This country gets dafter every day. No wonder it's like it is.
