And there was me thinking that being a proud Brit who drapes himself in the Union flag whenever he gets a chance that he only liked living in Monaco because of the climate...

He’s a idiot. His brother suffers from cerebral palsy and has no doubt received plenty of support from the NHS but Lewis wants to take that money away from those public services so he can keep even more of his outrageous wealth.

Disgusting

It's the faux patriotism that really gets my goat (not that I actually have a goat).

There's nothing faux about it. Wanting to pay less in taxes through legitimate schemes doesn't make anyone less patriotic.

As [MENTION=38]Beach Hut[/MENTION] says, change the law.

It's not against the law so no real story. It should be illegal for individuals and companies, if you live and operate within the UK and use our road infrastructure and have the benefits of living in such a privileged society then you should have to pay!

I know individuals pay for travel related things via road tax and tax on petrol so those who use pay more but everyone needs to play their part and pay their part

Lets put all this another way.
You earn £30,000 a year and pay £4000 tax (I think that is about right).
An accountant comes up to you and says " pay me £1000 and I can cut your tax bill to zero". What you going to say.

It is all so easy to do as well.

Not really the point. It's how much money do you actually want or need and how much you value the country/people that helped you get to where you are now (and where all your fans are)

How much help did the country give him?

I thought his father paid for all his early competition.(From his taxed income no doubt)
