Threat to take Reform donor’s OBE ignites free speech row
The Daily Telegraph says the honours forfeiture committee threatened to strip the wealthy Reform UK supporter of his OBE last year due to his social media comments. Charlie Mullins said someone should kill the Mayor of London.
Mullins has agreed to go to diversity training and as such he can now keep his OBE. Mullins tells the paper he’s a victim of a politically motivated attack.
