Driving a well-tuned car round a race track comes well down the list of those deserving of a Knighthood Imo. :thumbdown:
I can think of a few less worthy!

Well it should come a lot higher than pop singers, and at least the equal of most olympians and tennis players.

I agree Keith.

Kevin Sinfield comes to mind. Hopefully he will be on the new years honours list. :clap:

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.

He's not singled out. Hundreds of sports people and tv personalities have honours.

You probably need to learn the difference between avoidance and evasion

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.
And, you could do well taking your own advice.
