Arise Sire Lewis Hamilton!

[BrilloPad]

He pays tax in Monaco. This is not the same as pretending to be in the Isle of Man. If he were to move to Sweden and pay more tax, would this be acceptable?

SWeden is still the other side of the Channel. Thank Goodness after December 31st the UK is cut off from all those nasty Europeans.

I thought the requirement for UK's Honours (like Knighthood) was paying taxes in the UK?

Based on that neither Hamilton nor Brillo should be getting it

Hopefully they'll make an exception for Simon.

I turned down my knighthood for services to the divorce courts.

So if the potential recipient is one of the top 5000 private taxpayers in the UK, according to HMRC?

(And no, that does not mean Brillo...)


Also you cannot ignore the work he has done for racial equality and his new initiative around climate change, not to mention flying the flag for the UK around the world.

For God's sake, let's stop carping over trivia and recognise someone who's made his own way to the very peak of his profession.

He changed his tax residency from Switzerland back to UK?

Thought not.

He probably pays some tax that he can't avoid due to him performing in the UK, but that would cover all world class performers which does not make them UK taxpayers.

Arise Sir Lewis! Hamilton to be knighted after Boris Johnson bends rules amid tax status concerns | Daily Mail Online

For services to tax dodging and destroying the environment.

Opps. Excuse me. He is black and therefore immune from all moral standards and laws. Ignore me.

Oooh I'm guessing you are also one of those people who think "All lives matter", you probably voted for Brexit and think Trump was robbed and you also think the covid lockdowns are illegal and an anti-vaxer as well.

How many of those have I got right? My neighbour spouts the exact same tulipe about lewis as you do, and subscribes to the above.

Hamilton is the GOAT, statistically, although ask anyone who loves F1, like me, and ask Lewis himself, and there is only ever one answer....SENNA.

He is British and he has achieved something which no Brit before him has even got a bollock hair close to achieving. Complete dominance which is set to continue for a few years yet.

Every.Single.Successful.F1 Driver has always been a tax domicile elsewhere (Monaco or Switzerland), it's part of the territory and always has been.

You know sweet FA mate.

Almost all - Brillo does not (allegedly) believe that HMRC lives matter
