I'm a bit 👀 about Lewis Hamilton as I'd heard he lives abroad in a tax
Haven so he doesn't pay taxes in the UK-0perhaps this isn't correct though?

LH's name was on the "Diplomatic and Overseas" list for exactly that reason.

I was being serious but can see how it comes over as disingenuous haha. Born to Do It was played far too much in my early teens, still whack it out from time to time in the car.

WankPuffins · 31/12/2020 12:31

Well seeing as Craig David spends Wednesday to Saturday shagging and chills on a Sunday, I don't know how he's got much time to do anything else noteworthy.

nevertrustaherdofcows · 31/12/2020 12:32

I was surprised that Chris Whitty and JVT weren't on the list. I doubt if they've had a day off since March.

Exactly.
Tehmina23 · 31/12/2020 12:37

I went to 3 Craig David gigs in my younger days! He's a great entertainer, singer, producer etc. But so are lots of people really.

Agree with the JvT love.

For services to the days of the week?

Jimmy Greaves was robbed, only an MBE!

nosswith · 31/12/2020 14:15

@nevertrustaherdofcows I expect any honours for people such as Jonathan Van Tam and Chris Whitty will come later. They deserve it for being patient in the midst of the industrial scale lies from Boris Johnson and ministers.

@Soutiner the greatest English football striker of all time should have been rewarded years ago, and his health is such that I doubt he will be able to receive it at Buckingham Palace.

For inventing bubbling, presumably.

Has he done anything ,other than that song ??? And I agree with PP about Lewis Hamilton ,.🙄

TeachesOfPeaches · 31/12/2020 16:27

David beckham hasn't received one because the queen doesn't like tax dodgers so wonder if Lewis Hamilton tax affairs check out. The queen also apparently hates Tony Blair because of the Diana death saga so now can't give any to former PMs without drawing attention to this. She quite likes Gordon Brown and Theresa May so I hear.

Madbengalmum · 31/12/2020 16:28

Sorry, but the people getting these awards over the last few years versus those that weren’t recognised for decades of service makes a mockery of the whole thing. It imho is now a joke.

megletthesecond · 31/12/2020 16:30

Hamilton is a dick when it comes to tax but he is getting more outspoken as part of the BLM movement. For that I think he deserves his knighthood.

Perhaps they were offered one and declined it. Or they might just be too busy and focussed on their work at the moment.

Apparently he's made a comeback and is the face of garage music?!!

It’s been widely reported why they aren’t getting it this year. They will receive it once the pandemic is over.
nutmegofconsolation2 · 31/12/2020 16:43

Fuck sake. People do turn gongs down you know. Blair has.

Lewis H does a stupendous amount of charitable work. He's in the top 10k of British tax payers even though he lives abroad.

I think most people stopped taking this seriously years ago.
Just a load of untalented numpties or wannabes now.

orangejuicer · 31/12/2020 16:46

Craig David's wiki page (and google) lists his charity work.

I thought Lewis' tax issues had been sorted out and he does pay UK tax but I may be wrong.

Any white recipients who didn't deserve their honours perchance?
