Time to dispense with the honours system

Every day I read or hear of incredible things ordinary people achieve, including astonishing acts of courage, abject selflessness or sporting/professional excellence. We rightly celebrate those moments and should be delighted for those at the centre of those stories, their families, friends and colleagues. However, I find one form of accolade, the UK honours system. utterly distasteful, a relic of a bygone and irrelevant era and open to patronage and cronyism.
