Only because he was mentioned earlier in thread
You could put that argument to more that just Lewis Hamilton.
As for footballers, they have to pay UK tax because of training etc..IE They woudn't be out the country long enough.
OK, he did a silly thing in Oz I presume that is why you are calling him a prat.
The guy is 25 years old, didn't you do silly things in your 20's?
I'm still doing them in my late 40's
May be you are jealous of him being put to bed by his pussycat doll
Yes I could put that argument to others but I still think what he did to avoid tax suks.
Not in the slightest bit jealous of him,just think he is typical of today's greedy sportsmen,but even worse than footballers as he refuses to put anything back into his country of birth.
I'm sure you have paid plenty in past unlike Hamilton
I think Lewis Hamilton has and will continue to put much back into the UK over the coming years, may be not directly.
Bernie Eclestone pays tax and he is F1 and as more people go to watch he will pay more and more tax so that your Grandaughter can go to hospital without worry.
Many avoid paying tax, many go through a whole life time avoiding work to pay tax.
I begrudge Lewis Hamilton nothing, he is a fine example of a man and that goes for his family.
More than I can say for 'our' England players with all there roastings and what not
I can't imagine the likes of our 66 West ham/England side behaving like that.
As for his pussycat doll, that was a joke
yes but not on the actual header
found 1 of many quotes about "hero hamilton"
Anyone who leaves the country to be a tax exile should not be lauded as a national hero.
Having taken everything this country has to offer - healthcare, education, safety etc he has decided not to give anything back.
Privacy issues are just an excuse - he can have a large private estate and will be out of the country for long periods anyway. Do you honestly think he will spend much time in Switzerland?
Of course not, there only so much tobalorone one can eat!
Of course he has done it for money, so what? I'm getting entertained, so are thousands of others who if it had not of been for him, would of been looking elsewhere for entertainment.
Jane, my wife even gets excited watching him race and she didn't know what F1 was until last year, hence we are going to Silverstone because of him.
Do you get my point?
You taking this tax thing too seriously.
This is only my humble opinion
I hope you chaps have bought the Daily Mirror and picked up your free supporters kit from Sainsburys !

Damn will try get a copy tonight!
thanks Dedworth
Got a copy
I've been given 'Nigeria' and 'Mexico' in our work competition... Yeah, I think i'm gonna stick with supporting England, not much chance of seeing my money back on those two.
As for paying tax, the muggins who work normally for a living are the only ones who end up getting stung. Once people are owning and running the businesses, they pay themselves in dividends and all sorts of little accounting techniques to avoid paying. So in reallity the rich and the poor get away with it, and the average joe gets hit the most.... I don't pay tax, and haven't for 10 years, but i've got a good reason
Hopefully mexico will "do" france
As for tax I'm not bothered what anyone pays just annoyed that little shits like hamiltom have taken but pay nothing back into our country,A "hero" don't make me laugh
anyway my mistake for getting suckered into arguament I reaaly just want to concentrate on England and am so looking fwd to next saturday
Well Im an England fan normally avoid watching/reading about the friendlies unless nothing better to do as its always world beaters or the world is going to end.
Will be cheering on the boys and have the offer of tickets to England v Algeria from a south african workmate but unlikely to take up the offer..
Cant speak for you lot up Norf but round my way England flags seem to be everywhere and increaing everyday. Loads seem to be quite excited at work so im hoping for a good feast of football.
The fact it seems England are having a fair bit of bad luck, bad form and being written off i hope bodes well i think personally.
Comon England
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
