Ricky Gervais: Donald Trump Is ‘Dangerous’

................ and the idea that celebrities shouldn’t speak out about politics.

“Why shouldn’t I?” he says. “I’m a person as well. That’s my job. You don’t say to a plumber, ‘Oh don’t get involved in politics. You should just fix my toilet.’ He’s allowed to talk politics. Why are celebrities not allowed to talk politics?”......


Great Point there

who cares about celebrities bob??

this past year celebrities along with the political and ultra rich elites have made utter fools of themselves.

look at Madonna, under investigation after her outburst.

that other one she was with who ranted about her period blood?? the only people she was impressing were the zombies who were attending the rally.

i don't think very many people care about these celebrities and their views, if anything, their whinging turns ordinary people off of them.

did they convince anyone to vote remain??

no

did they stop trump being elected??

no

let them rant on, im sure they will get bored soon enough and get back to taking selfies

the problem is many of them think their views are more important than joe bloggs down the pub because they have been on TV or in a movie.

RJ has made some amusing TV in his time. Although I would say the office USA is far funnier than the Office. You can say that his TV shows have been very generous to the supporting cast as they are often far better than RJ himself.

His film career has been pretty dire.

I remember him way back in the channel 4 days when he has a spot on a late night show, cant remember the name of the show. He got noticed because of his very un PC bits on that show.
Since he has become older and I would say fatter, although he has got trimmer since moving into american circles, he has somewhat lost his edge
He can still raise a smile and I think Derek was an excellent show. But that does not make his view any better than anyone elses, although there are plenty of people out there who hang on celebs every utterance.

He is far better at lying than an other celebrity

I know someone who knows Madonna and she is no saint.

Celebrities can say what they like just as everyone can (supposedly) but their opinions should be part of their private lives, they shouldn't use their dubious, in many cases, celebrity to advertise an opinion that some people, because they are dazzled by celebrities, even z list ones, might take as gospel, when its only one person's opinion.

Bob can I ask you a question??? 

Are you going to whinge for the next 4 years?? 

If so I need to put you on ignore
