What exactly is a champagne socialist in your view , Primrose?

Go on then, I’ll bite but I am sure you know exactly what I mean. 😉

Very rich people like her, Geldof, Bono, Lily Allen, Emma Thompson, Frank Skinner and their ilk spend their lives telling us ordinary mortals how we should be giving to charities for the poor and our wealth should be distributed but they sit on vast fortunes, often have multiple homes in very affluent areas or countries. Glenda lived in a very posh area of London and has many millions. If they really cared, they would distribute their own wealth and go and live in Skegness or Bradford.

I take it you know for a fact that she never contributed anything to any charity, Primrose ? Did you access her bank statements to find that out?

she lived in the basement of her son's home.
probably for support. mutual support.

Primrose, Glenda Jackson did care, that’s why she was a socialist and went into politics.
As a working actress, she needed to be in London.
Do you think she should have returned to Birkenhead?🙄

Just watched Glenda Jackson in The Maids - she was brilliant .

RIP , Glenda .

Frank Skinner, Primrose?
I don’t recall him doing anything of the sort, and I know him.

Holly quite right. Glenda was a very decent woman

Glenda wanted very much to help those who struggled. She knew leaving acting would mean a huge loss of income for her but that didn’t matter because she was decent and passionate and wanted to make a difference.
We talked about this and many other things when we first met. She was an intelligent and inspiring woman who wanted us all to have the opportunity to drink champagne. Not just the wealthy few.

I have never heard Bob Geldof talking about a redistribution of wealth. It's possible I have missed it.

Glenda Jackson in the H of C speaks about Thatcherism and what it did to the country. Listening now it resonates still if not more now, www.google.com/search?sxsrf=APwXEdfjz7M3dfwx7SaLffxKqgFx6wAMkw:1686991445393&q=Glenda+Jackson+on+socialismand+poverty&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwijz93u9Mn_AhW9QkEAHVaoCLIQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=1152&bih=562&dpr=1.25#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:4ba4e88b,
