The fact that they are celebrities doesn't make their opinion and more or less valid than anybody else. That said, if you are in a position where you have a public voice, trying to use it for the benefit of other is the socially responsible thing to do. I still reserve the right to completely ignore them and cry preaching.

And right wing celebrities run for President. What if working class left wing people agree with the rich left wing people and what if conservative working class people agree with them as well? Could it just be that some people have an opinion you don't agree with but only find especially offensive because they're rich and you're not?

They've got themselves in a position where they can influence more people, so their views can, and probably do, have more effective weight even if they're legally and morally even. Thing is though, is their position entirely their choice, and are celebrities then a natural and fairly reflective balance of society..? Hell no they're not! Take the BBC, hiring anyone as long as they're left wing.. When corporations are choosing people to play as heroes to the masses, then those heroes are then selected public manipulation. |

Yeah, Lilly Allen and Gary Lineker have had such a strong influence on my life. I just love those things that they did to make them famous.

Think it's more offensive for those celebs to judge the normal people for having a different opinion...esp when they say they are ashamed to be British because we chose brexit or question an age |
