What Is An OBE? The Peaky Blinders Term Explained

Thomas Shelby winds his way so deftly and quickly through British politics and the law that even characters in the show may join with the audience in wondering what is an OBE in Peaky Blinders. In Peaky Blinders, Tommy is the de facto boss of the titular crime gang, who starts off the series as a low-level group of racketeers. Over the course of Peaky Blinders‘ six seasons, the Peaky Blinders rose from the mud of Birmingham to being influential components of the House of Parliament. Much of this success is due to Tommy’s clever machinations.
