    signed straight away with the note: Long overdue!

    John Surtees is one of the all time greats in racing as far as I'm concerned and a true Gentleman!

    Big John is still active in motor racing both 2 and 4 wheels, fortunately for us all.

    I always thought of the Knighthood as a way of the Queen to reward rich and famous Brits who didn't move their money to tax havens.

    So Surtees' chances should be good. :)

    Not true. Sir Philip Green (Arcadia/TopShop) lives in Monaco and paid himself a tax free dividend of close to $2 BILLION (1.4 Billion British Pounds) a few years ago. His knighthood came (after his huge payout) for services to retail, and no doubt for the taxes his thousands of employees pay to the British Treasury
