Depends on how you classify them.
The lowest ranking hereditary rank is baronet, which entitles someone to be called Sir Somebody Something.
The lowest rank which used to give access to the House of Lords is Baron, which entitles someone to be called Lord Somebody Something.

The bums on social security payments who have no intent on getting a job just their next fix, I add them to British nobility as they too get paid to do nothing but drugs while the rest of us have to work our butts off to scrape by.
