He isn't exactly a beacon to the huddled masses. to those people who struggle to make ends meet...he owns the great house in Hollywood Hills that used to belong to Laurence Olivier..and he has an estimated 15 million in the bank......not small change is it...and he isn't going to be wondering where the money is coming from to pay the winter gas bill.
No, all this political spouting he has done recently is to raise his celebrity profile to sell tickets for his latest tour(currently priced at £50 a pop).....more dosh into his bank account
Margaret, you'll get no debate from me about him being a rich egotistical twit, but....does that make his arguments wrong?

I'm going to be nice and warm this winter and I don't have to worry about fuel costs does it make me a hypocrit because I think the government should do more to protect the less well off than me?
