So Button has been made an MBE.

OK, he's a good driver but is it acceptable for a tax exile (and I know he is by no means the first) to get honoured by the UK Government/Queen?

Would you want to pay tax on £7 million p.a.?

I think Button is a worthy winner of the F1 Champioship, but why does he get MBE and Hamilton doesn't? or did he?
