Alan Cumming hands back his OBE citing the ‘toxicity of empire’ | Alan Cumming
We tend to receive things on our birthdays, but on his 58th Alan Cumming has given something back: the OBE he was awarded in 2009.
In a post on Instagram, the Scottish actor talked about how he had recently “opened his eyes” to the “toxicity” of the British Empire. He said his soul-searching was prompted by the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the conversations the event sparked.
“I was incredibly grateful to receive [the OBE] in the 2009 Queen’s birthday honours list, for it was awarded not just for my job as an actor but ‘for activism for equal rights for the gay and lesbian community, USA,’” wrote Cumming. He had become an American citizen a year earlier and cited some of the homophobic bills in that country that he had campaigned against: the Defence of Marriage Act, which prevented federal recognition of same-sex marriages, and the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy that barred openly gay, lesbian or bisexual people from serving in the military.
At the time of receiving his OBE, Cumming had said in a statement: “I see this honour as encouragement to go on fighting for what I believe is right and for what I take for granted as a UK citizen. Thank you to the Queen and those who make up her birthday honours list for bringing attention to the inaction of the US government on this issue. It makes me very proud to be British, and galvanised as an American.”
But recent debates around the monarchy have changed Cumming’s mind about the role of the monarchy in the modern world – especially the way “the British Empire profited at the expense (and death) of indigenous peoples across the world”. Cumming now believes that “the great good the award brought to the LGBTQ+ cause back in 2009 is now less potent than the misgivings I have being associated with the toxicity of empire”.

Cumming is not the only celebrity to have returned their honours. John Lennon returned his MBE in 1969 in protest against “Britain’s involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts”. More recently, the Welsh actor Michael Sheen returned the OBE he was awarded in 2009 after reading up on Welsh history and his country’s relationship with the British state.
Last year, Cumming received a more welcome form of recognition: a Tony award for best musical, as producer of A Strange Loop. More recently, he has been seen on screens starring as the host of the American version of hit show The Traitors, a role he appears to have embraced with glee. “He presents as if he is a supply teacher sent to look after an unruly classroom that he can’t be bothered to discipline … he is evidently having a ball,” read the Guardian’s review.
Now Cumming can bask in another reinvention. As he signed off his post: “I’m now back to being plain old Alan Cumming again. Happy birthday to me!”
Alan Greenspan says US recession is likely
New York
CNN
—
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan believes a US recession is the “most likely outcome” of the Fed’s aggressive rate hike regime meant to curb inflation. He joins a growing chorus of economists predicting imminent economic downturn.
His views are particularly important. Not only did Greenspan serve five terms as Fed chair under four different presidents between 1987 and 2006, but he was the last chair to successfully navigate a soft landing, in 1994. In the 12 months that followed February 1994 Greenspan nearly doubled interest rates to 6% and managed to keep the economy steady, avoiding recession.
Greenspan, now 96, said in a note this week that he doubts this current bout of hikes will result in a repeat performance.
The last two months of data showed that prices are beginning to decelerate – good news but not good enough, he said. “I don’t think it will warrant a Fed reversal that is substantial enough to avoid at least a mild recession,” said Greenspan, now a senior economic adviser to Advisors Capital Management, in commentary released on the company’s website Tuesday.
The Fed hiked interest rates seven times last year, increasing the rate that banks charge each other for overnight borrowing to a range of 4.25%-4.5%, the highest since 2007. Fed officials still expect to raise rates by another percentage point, according to projections released during their December monetary policy meeting.
Wage increases and, by extension, employment, “still need to soften further for a pullback in inflation to be anything more than transitory,” said Greenspan. “So we may have a brief period of calm on the inflation front, but I think it will be too little too late.” Unemployment rates remain near historic lows, holding at 3.7% in November. New employment data is set to be released Friday morning.
Greenspan doubts the Fed will loosen interest rates soon because “inflation could flare up again and we would be back at square one,” he said. “Furthermore, this could potentially damage the Federal Reserve’s credibility as a purveyor of stable prices, especially if the action were seen to be taken merely to protect the stock market rather than in response to truly unstable financial conditions.”
He does see some good news for investors on the horizon. Markets won’t be nearly as chaotic in 2023 as they were last year, he said. “I believe 2022 would be a tough year to top with respect to market volatility,” he remarked.
Latest statement from Panda Global announces that Dr. Alan is no longer CEO, Panda Cup postponed due to security concerns
Update: Alan Bunney has now released his first public statement since the Smash World Tour accusations were made, which you can find in the story below.
Panda Global has been facing a lot of controversy as of late due to the alleged actions of its CEO, Dr. Alan Bunney, who reportedly been threatened to shut down tournaments and their organizers over the past year with multiple corroborations. After the first statement released by Panda was not well received by the Super Smash Bros. community, over 80% of the sponsored fighting game division has apparently since resigned.
Earlier today, Panda Global released a new statement indicating that Dr. Alan Bunney is longer the CEO of Panda Global. Additionally, they announced the Panda Cup 2022 Finale is being postponed due to security concerns.
The Panda Cup Finale was originally scheduled to take place from December 15, 2022 and last until December 17, 2022. The Panda Cup circuit was officially sponsored by Nintendo and was the first one to ever score a license for a competitive tour.
Panda Global officially launched with Dr. Alan Bunney as co-founder and CEO back in 2015. As of right now, it’s unknown how involved with Panda Global Dr. Alan Bunney will be aside from his removal as the CEO.
In previous statements made by the Smash World Tour team, it’s been indicated that Nintendo cancelled that Smash World Tour 2022 Championship and the Smash World Tour 2023 circuit. However, Nintendo released two statements that conflicted with what was said by the Smash World Tour team by stating that they only weren’t issuing the 2022 championship and 2023 circuit licenses, and claimed that the decision to cancel was a decision that was and still is the Smash World Tour team’s.

Seemingly in response to these events, Ludwig recently announced the “The Scuffed World Tour” to take place on December 18, 2022. It likely wasn’t a coincidence that it was scheduled for the original finals day of Panda Cup 2022.
Alan Bunney has now made his first public comment since the Smash World Tour open letter was posted on November 29, where he claims he has evidence the SWT organizers lied and Beyond the Summit leadership “put the community in jeopardy.”
“I’ve stepped down as CEO of Panda to protect the safety and wellbeing of the team,” wrote Bunney on Twitter. “My statement (with evidence) is coming.”

Organizers for the Smash World Tour accused Bunney of improper conduct and mob-like behavior when attempting to recruit tournaments for the Panda Cup, which was corroborated by multiple event runners including Beyond the Summit.
Panda acknowledged Dr. Alan’s bad interaction with BTS and said in their first statement that a separate team had been established afterwards to handle event relations.
Most of the community did not respond well to Panda’s first statement, which came 3 days after the Smash World Tour’s open letter and seemingly downplayed their involvement in any of the Smash Bros. drama that is / was unfolding.
This extended to Panda’s own staff with 8 confirmed members of their sponsored eSports fighting game team publicly stating their resignations from the company while most others removed some or all mentions of the team on their social media sites — plus more on the production and PGStats parts of the company.
These allegations also put the Panda Cup Finale in jeopardy as well with 19 invited competitors revealing their intentions to pull out of the tournament.
With less than 2 weeks to spare, postponing the Panda Cup Finale may have been the only recourse to make sure the event can continue on, but right now there’s a question mark as to when that’ll eventually be.
For years, Panda had built itself up to be one of the largest eSports teams in Smash and the FGC with strides being made to create their own content and obviously, create their own events.
What the future holds for Panda Global and the rest of the Smash community plus the entire relationship with Nintendo is still up in the air as well, and Dr. Alan’s statement indicates that this ride is not over yet.
You can read Panda’s full statement below.
Panda has heard the concerns of the Smash community and is taking immediate action. Alan is no longer CEO, effective immediately.
In the interim, Panda employees are working with outside advisors to form a temporary Interim Management Committee (IMC) to act as CEO to navigate this critical time. The identities of those in the IMC will not be made public at this time due to concerns over harassment and safety.
The IMC’s immediate priorities are:
• Work with any team member that desires to resign, including release from any contractual obligations.
• Support those who feel displaced through these events to find a home – either with Panda or another organization.
Panda is committed to demonstrating out dedication to the community, and everyone who shares our passion. Panda is committed to do our part to move the competitive Smash community above and beyond the current situation, starting with a internal restructure and a rededication to our values as members of this community.
We call on the community to treat those affected by these events with grace, understanding, and to call out and report any attempts of doxing or harassment.
Additionally, due to security concerns for our staff and contractors, the Panda Cup Finale is postponed. The IMC will work to issue refunds to all those who registered in the coming weeks.
