Lewis Hamilton

Bilmey this thread has strayed
What I'm getting at was really him saying maybe it was down to him being black and thats why he got punished (he has since said it was a joke maybe it was who knows)
But it does annoy me that as soon as he earns decent money he legs it to keep more for himself (all well and good you say)
But my point is most of us have or currently pay tax etc in UK,whereas he has decided basically not to pay any

My point being if in the future and maybe he is back in uk with a family perhaps and an unfortunate accident happens to one of his kids etc
Will he avail himself of the emergency services? If he does will he pay out of his own pocket for it-no chance!
Most footballers earn huge ridiculous wages but they also pay lots of tax too so at least put money back into the country-Hamilton does not

... so what's new there, Les?

Les I totally get your point but comparing a footballer who has to turn up for training and play in the uk every week (domestic games) is quite a bit different when a guy like an F1 racer is racing in the uk once a year.
I think if a footballer could get away from living in a tax haven they would go.

Think Lewis was on about £1m until he won the world championship so he paid 10 years of my tax from 20-23 years of age before legging it.

If you were about to contribute around £6m to hmrc out of your £10m you would certainly have to think about it wouldn't you?

We get By the gov and public services, every which way I look, I'm gonna get out of this place as soon as I've met my responsibilities that I currently have.
