But it is millionaires trying to tell the Government that we are all happoy to pay for more stuff, making spending decisions for us. Thaat's a bit grating.
Irrespective of any political content I am just fed-up of bieng preached at. You can't even escape it with Football Focus or MOTD.
That is NOT to say the issues covered are not worthy of promotion, they are, but just let us be entertained occasionally without being told how to think.

I don’t see a problem with people using the platforms available to them to air their views. That’s precisely what billions of people around the world are doing every minute of every day via social media. Only difference is that celebrities have much bigger platform than Jim the Bin Man who Tweets “fuck the Tories” to his 50 followers or Joan the Admin Lady who shares EDL propaganda on Facebook. Nobody ever tells them to stick to emptying the bins or filing.
The likes of Dua Lipa and Marcus Rashford have as much right to air their views as anyone, they’re also more capable of connecting with people, especially younger ones, than Johnstone or any other politician.
