Keira Knightley, Eddie Izzard and Derek Jacobi 4 times I dont give a fuck what you think on Brexit

A list of 250 celebrities have signed a letter telling us that we should vote to stay in Europe. The actor Derek Jacobi thinks I care so much what he thinks that his name appars four times. So lots of rich folks whose lives are not impacted at all by immigration, NHS waiting lists, paying the mortgage and other matters which you & I must deal with on a daily basis, are telling us we should listen to them just because they are fecking celebs. 

What on earth makes them think that as celebrities their views carry any weight at all? It is not like they are experts in economics, social policy, running a business or indeed anything other than singing, dancing, acting and in most cases getting their kit off for the camera.

It is bad enough that the war criminal Blair and the leaders of the United States and Eire tell me how to vote but Keira bloody Knightley is really taking the piss.

I really liked Keira in Bend it like Beckham and thought she was pretty good in Pride & Prejudice and I know that she is a lifelong West Ham supporter so she can't be all bad.

But what on earth makes her think that what she thinks about the EU matters to me or that her lecturing we little people about how we should vote will assist her cause at all?
It just makes me angry. Inspired by Keira et al I think it is time to donate to the Vote Leave campaign. Or at least think about it.

If you enjoyed reading this article from Tom Winnifrith, why not help us cover our running costs with a donation?
