I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiot.”This is the problem with celebrities spouting off about politics.First, they are guaranteed to alienate at least half of their audience in doing so by taking either a leftist or conservative position.Second, they risk alienating all of their fans when saying something as stupid as: “I’m not British, I’m European.”News flash: Sir Elton John, you are British, and you owe everything you have to the UK.Anytime a celebrity insults his own country, particularly when on foreign soil, he risks pissing off his fans.Yet that’s not even the worst of what Sir Elton John said and inferred with regard to Brexit.Sir Elton John apparently told this same crowd, which was seeing him at a concert in Verona, that the people who voted to exit didn’t really understand the risks of Brexit.How insulting is that?That’s the kind of elitist claptrap that celebrities spit out.
