Lewis Hamilton is formally knighted

My man! Although I can't understand how anyone can adore these super rich and powerful families and act all blessed and thankful when they throw them a wee medal their direction.

KKK was a bit strong I think haha.

I thought so too. Apologies.

Yep, but I guess it might not be quite so obvious to anyone here who isn't Irish or Scottish what you meant, hence my explanation.

Charlie doesn't look particularly happy in that pic... wonder why?

That is his usual mug, l have seen him in one of these ceremoinies.

Was Lewis already "knighted" or was the finally the actual ceremony?

Already was,, just the weird kneel at your master masonic ceremony.

Yep, with Lewis's BLM support and the royal family's historic ties to the slave trade, there is something a tad messed up with that. :/

All that goes out the window when your masters give the call. Bit two faced is our great hero Lewis.

I guess this was the only way of getting his 8th title.

He's a Lilibet coloured.

Sounds like I need to explain..

Judging from the CFC in his name Joe is almost definitely a Glasgow Celtic fan which means he is likely of Irish descent. The Irish bear no allegiance to the queen and in fact are anti royal, hence his post. It is nothing to do with Lewis's skin colour.

Now how could the reality of that overcome the fact that some think anyone who doesn't worship Lewis must be racist?

I never have cared about it myself. Maybe it's still something the Brits admire, but to me it's just a strange way of acknowledging many wealthy people, who are often controversial. If it wasn't so much about money and included more average people, it might be given more notice from the rest of the world.
