The indefatigable Croydonian has a charming story from France of how two journalists have refused the award of Legion d'Honneur; not for some grandstanding political reason, but simply because they believe they do not merit it.
These are their explanations, as reported by Mr C -
Françoise Fressoz (head political writer at Le Monde):
"Nothing in my professional work justifies such an honour".
Marie-Eve Malouines (head political writer at France Info):
"I can see nothing in my work which would justify such an honour, and that is why I consider myself obliged to to refuse this prestigious decoration".
C'est magnifique, n'est-ce pas?
