Millionaire Celebrities.

[Theland]

Don't millionaire celebrities get on your wick?
Pontificating about all and sundry, United Nations Ambassadors?
Knock me sick.
How about you?

[tonyav]

Bono and Geldof spring to mind.

[Theland]

Spot on mate.

[tonyav]

Sting seem's to be a bit quiet lately.

[Hopkirk]

And Emma Thompson

[Theland]

Angelina?

[MallyJ]

No they don't because that is just what we all do. We are not famous enough to have our pontifications published in the media but a quick look through posts on AB shows that is just what happens here, down the pub, dinner parties, coffee with friends etc etc etc...non stop pontificating everywhere!

[Theland]

Telling us what to think, what to do, what to feel guilty about. Where to send our money.

[tonyav]

Oh yeah, and Lily Allen.

[Theland]

Lily Allen?
Now I am seriously upset and angry.
What a ***!

[tonyav]

LOL ^^^^^

Objecting to people because they have a lot of money is inverted snobbery, they are as entitled to their opinions as everyone else, the fact that the media has an interest in them is hardly their fault. They are under constant scrutiny so there is a price.

Sid I listened to her, I would have half a dozen Calais asylum seekers sleeping in my bed!

[tonyav]

Eddie Izzard is a larf isn't he.

[Mamyalynne]

Just celebrity millionaires you don't like to have an opinion?

I don't mind a pauper or a tycoon telling me what they think - I have my own mind to make my own decisions.

[Theland]

It's not an opinion.
It's pontificating.

[Mamyalynne]

Hmmmm and we don't like that do we?

[kvalidir]

You pontificate Theland, or is that okay because you're not a millionaire? I imagine the 'out of touch' mantra will be trotted out in a second.

[ladybirder]

They use their privileged position to lecture us on how we should think which is the same as them obviously. The press would not be interested in printing what you or I have to say as we are not celebrities. That Cumberbatch guy or whatever his name is was lecturing his audience at the end of his show. How kind of him:-(
I was pleased to read quite a few walked out.

[Theland]

After I have paid my rent and bills, I have thirty quid left.
Will that buy me a pontificate?

[kvalidir]

Apparently several Theland, you do it often enough.

It frustrates me that people with money are automatically looked down upon by people who don't have as much. By all means disagree with them but to *** people off because of their financial status is just a bit naff tbh.
