Helen Mirren receives honour for King Charles’s birthday
Mirren, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Elizabeth II in the 2006 film The Queen, becomes a Companion of Honour. The maximum number of people who can hold the title at any one time is 65. The elevation came days after footage circulated on social media showing her being verbally abused while walking in central London with her husband.
Kid Starver says: "“Across the UK, people are quietly changing lives and strengthening their communities. This honours list is a chance to recognise them.
“Their dedication shows how lasting change is built: through compassion, resilience and a commitment to others. It speaks to the decent, hopeful country we are proud to be, and on behalf of the whole nation, I want to say thank you.”
No! I want to say thank you, Kid Starver and Evil Zionist Bitch and I mean that most sincerely folks!"I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
Sadly saw this earlier and it couldn't be more transparent
It doesn't matter what shitty meaningless bauble they hang on her name, people will remember what side she stood on, and it was baby killing, mass murder, racism, ethnic cleansing and lying about it. Hopefully she doesn't have long to enjoy it.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

What the guy said is, of course, correct, and Mirren has said some utterly hideous things about the Nakba and Arabs being thrown out of their homes, for example: "But it was just the extraordinary magical energy of a country just beginning to put its roots in the ground. It was an amazing time to be here."!
Nice of the cops to continue conflating criticism of zionism with antisemitism.
quote: UK Police review alleged antisemitic abuse of Helen Mirren
Police in London are reviewing footage showing Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren being verbally abused in the street over her support for Israel.
The video, which has circulated on social media in recent days, shows the British actress walking near Tower Hill in London with her husband, American film director Taylor Hackford.
The footage is believed to have been filmed late last year. It shows Mirren smiling and greeting the man filming before he begins shouting at her.
The man can be heard referring to comments Mirren previously made about Israel and the Holocaust before verbally abusing the 80-year-old actress and swearing at Hackford.
Hackford then steps in and repeatedly tells the man to leave them alone.
In a statement, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: "We are aware of a video circulating online, showing a man and a woman being subjected to antisemitic verbal abuse in Tower Hill.
"It is believed that the incident took place at the end of last year.
"Officers are currently reviewing the footage and making attempts to contact the victims to establish whether they would like to report the incident.
"The Met continues to work hard to tackle hate crimes of all types, and officers across London have made more than 90 hate crime arrests since the end of March."
Mirren, who is not Jewish, has spoken publicly about her support for the existence of Israel.
Last month, she was among a number of entertainment figures, including Boy George and Sharon Osbourne, who signed an open letter supporting Israel's inclusion in the Eurovision Song Contest...
