The 'Hons' bit is part of the degree title and to show what you achieved. Either one did the extra modules to get an Honours Degree or one didn't and 'only' receives an ordinary degree but I agree that adding Cantab or Oxon or whatever is simply showing off.

CS
BA (Hons) Govt, Somewhere unimportant
