Well it should come a lot higher than pop singers, and at least the equal of most olympians and tennis players.Onelife wrote: 15 Dec 2021, 22:38Driving a well-tuned car round a race track comes well down the list of those deserving of a Knighthood Imo.![]()

I agree Keith.
Kevin Sinfield comes to mind. Hopefully he will be on the new years honours list.

Re: Go Lewis Hamilton
I believe it is every persons legal right to avoid as much tax as possible - I know I do.
Why single out Hamilton for what many sports people and TV personalities and others are doing.

Because You won’t ever be given a Gong.
I don’t think it’s anything to be proud of,openly admitting you cheat the public purse .
You openly criticise the government and Tory party but your showing yourself to be no better.

No difference in my book. And you need to talk to people civilly and not treat everyone with contempt, it’s not big or clever.

Following the correct legislation is more important than some random 'my book' which may or may not have any relationship to actual legislation.screwy wrote: 16 Dec 2021, 14:58No difference in my book.

And, you could do well taking your own advice.
