    Pressure from famous people really shouldn’t be allowed to shape national policy, but man in this case I’m not complaining. Good on them.

      There’s 44,999,700 non-famous people also urging the PM to end UK complicity in Gaza, but that’s not going to sell clicks

      Some politicians are famous too. Politicians these days don’t seem smart and in America especially, we’re not electing the smartest bunch. We actually elected a reality TV star. Famous people have a platform and they see what we see also.

      There is a famous post from, I think the guitar player for rage against the machine where someone calls him out for being just another celebrity that shouldn’t have a political opinion. He claps back with his political Science degree. Celebrities are people. They can be extremely intelligent. Marketing/PR reps and talent managers are the clueless ones that have made celebrity synonymous with stupidity.
