Rejected petition Strip Eric Bristow of his MBE

Given the disgusting comments made by Eric Bristow in regards to the former footballers who have come out sexual abuse victims I feel that the right thing to do is strip him of his MBE.

The comments made are an emasculation of these victims, and is one of the main reasons victims remain silent.
