I absolutely agree - and not only that, he has said he "couldn't give a toss" about criticism over Theresa May awarding him a knighthood in her resignation honours list (BBC). Revolting man and shameful that she chose to recognise him in this way.

I don’t know what Theresa May was thinking when she tried to get the Domestic Abuse Bill through right at the end of her prime ministership and then, at the same time was agreeing a knighthood for Boycott - a man convicted of domestic abuse.
It makes no sense to me. And such a terrible message to anyone suffering from or recovering from abuse today.
