Sachin Nakrani is, of course, stating the obvious when suggesting that Tyson
Fury`s remarks about homosexuality and abortion "could count against him" in
the voting for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, provided, that is,
the public knows about them (Gloves are off as Fury and Murray enter fray for
BBC Sports Personality award,01/12/15). As it is "widely recognised as being the
most prestigious honour" outside the "sporting arena", the BBC`s selection
panel, who drew up the shortlist for the award, should ensure it goes to a
worthy winner.
For a start, it would be helpful to
know about which of the twelve love their country
so much, and are so grateful for the support of their British fans, they live
abroad, and pay little or no tax to the Treasury. Perhaps the Guardian could
help by publishing the shortlist again, but this time placing asterisks by the
names of the non doms and known tax avoiders?
