Remainer-luvvie Emma Thompson, who in February won a lot of publicity by moving to Venice with her husband in the wake of Brexit, has fled back to Scotland after northern Italy became a no-go zone due to Coronavirus. You can’t outrun a global pandemic, Emma…
A local co-conspirator has informed Guido they spotted Thompson last Tuesday in their Argyll supermarket, where the two have “a cottage, a barn and seven sheep”. Just two weeks after becoming honorary Italian citizens…
Guido can almost understand Emma’s decision, as the media’s advice on running away to second homes has been far from clear. On Saturday, the Daily Mail published the now-deleted article, “Britain’s brilliant boltholes: The best places to revel in splendid isolation, from the lonely Lancashire hills to the Welsh wilderness”, even recommending activities in case rural boredom sets in.
This morning, the Mail labelled those running away, as they advised, to the countryside or the coast to avoid coronavirus, “covidiots”. An even quicker and more embarrassing u-turn than Emma Thompson was capable of…
A Guido co-conspirator sent in these pictures of eco-luvvie Emma Thompson sat in one of the 14 seats (2F) in the first class cabin, flying back on Friday night from London after telling us ‘We should all fly less’ and being the star appearance at the Extinction Rebellion protest against man-made climate change. A British Airways First Class Flexi-Ticket will set you back £18,000 and make you responsible for emitting 4 tonnes of carbon-dioxide…
Guido’s co-conspirator on the flight reckons she dined on the beef carpaccio washed down by Laurent Perrier champagne. Bovine emissions will have to be added to her carbon offset account costs. British Airways will be pleased that the Corbyn-supporting Dame was clearly comfortable in First Class. She appears to have dismbarked off the plane at JFK in her dressing gown, slippers and pyjamas…
Marc Almond on Emma Thompson…
“Emma Thompson has arrived in her gas guzzling carbon footprint stomping jet to serve Vegan food from the boat parked on Oxford Circus while the Yoga classes are taking place on Waterloo Bridge! Haha really? Couldn’t make this stuff up.”
Last year Queen of the right-on celebs Emma Thompson endorsed Corbyn’s Labour, telling fans he is “very sound and intelligent”. Now she says she’s voting for the Women’s Equality Party because “I don’t feel spoken to by Labour”.
Surely top Corbynista Charlotte Church wouldn’t also abandon faith? Not long ago she called Jezza “cool-headed, honest and considerate”. Alas…
A blow for Labour’s core luvvie demographic…
Emma Thompson backs Remain and slags off Britain:
“A tiny little cloud-bolted, rainy corner of sort-of Europe, a cake-filled misery-laden grey old island… We should be taking down borders, not putting them up”
Following former celebrity Charlotte Church’s musical protest against Shell last week, Greenpeace have wheeled out Emma Thompson to fight climate change… with a poem.
Choice lines include “do you think we should just burn, baby, burn” and “do you just think we should boil, baby boil“. She also appears to compare energy sector workers to Nazis. Safe to say it went on much longer than the presenter was expecting…
