LETTER: Sparked into writing about Sir Vince...

I noticed last week an effort by the local Lib Dems to award one of their own an honour being rejected for a change (Civic honour snub for Sir Vince Cable, February 14). Whatever you may think of Cable I would hope everybody would agree you really shouldn’t be using such systems to reward former players from your own side, whether it be a mere honorary title or a life peerage. So for once I was grateful to the other parties for blocking it.
