Boycott is a boorish, loud idiot - and a hero of Theresa May, maybe because they share a few character traits.
The 'honour' that annoyed me more was making John Mann a lord - but again no surprise that the Tories would reward him.
The whole honours system should be ripped up. It has always been abused and used for political purposes - usually to promote friends and donors of the ruling elite - with a few scraps thrown to charity workers and lollipop women/men.
But the titles come with so much offensive baggage I would rather some new system of public recognition for exceptional service or contribution to society started from scratch. Time for this country (and others) to grow up and consign monarchs, peers, knights and dames, and holders of medals banging on about the British Empire to the history books!
