7. My best known nickname, interestingly, contains a chemical element (a metal), though it has nothing to do with my experience in chemistry. |

That last clue was a headspinner. I was going to go for Watson or Crick, but now I'm going to assume, since there are no famous tax barristers that I'm aware of, that this person is famous mostly for nothing to do with law or science. Yet s/he got the award from Bush, so I'm going with politician. How about Maggie Thatcher?

Stealing a policeman's badge (or hat) makes me think of P.G. Wodehouse, but I'm pretty sure he's 100% British.
