He's not the clean living family man he purports to be and deserves all he gets IMO.

Got any evidence to back up that potentially libelous statement? Lineker's 1st wife filed for divorce in May 2006, and he started going out with his 2nd wife in September 2007.

Ah, tax avoidance/minimisation - why pay more tax than you have to, eh?
I'm old-fashioned - in the periods when I am contracting/self-employed (depending on where I am working, I either use an Umbrella company (where I pay all the tax and NI due, as if I was salaried), or I pay myself a reasonable salary (just below the 40% bracket), which means I pay a reasonable amount of tax and NI, and the rest in dividends (as I believe we all should contribute to the services we receive).
As always, YMMV.
