Alan Sugar used to support New labour. That's entirely different from supporting Labour now. Jeremy Corbyn has been actively purging moderates from the party since he took over and the labour party today represents what it was in the 1970.[/b]
True enough, supporting New "Labour" has nothing to do with being left-wing, and predictably, Alan Ticky-tacky-hocker Sugar has stayed with his right-wing leanings - he's back to tje Tories now he can't fool anyone any more.
Ricky Gervais and Liam Gallagher are successful..... ....but... they are not particularly nice people. Liam Gallagher is a well known w@nker. "Wonderwall" is a good song but he's a terrible person nevertheless. His endorsement is hardly something anyone should be proud of.
No, Jim Davidson, Katie Hopkins and Jodie Marsh are shining samples of humanity.
If those were the best you could do to show me the shining stars who endorse the left, I'm afraid it's quite the damp squib.
John Cleese. Stephen Fry. Ben Goldacre. Stephen Hawking, when he was still alive. Ken Loach, rather predictably. Vanessa Redgrave. In fact, it's notable how many more self-made men and women support the left than the right, regardless of country - except the USA, of course.
(Mind you, if forced to pick one, I think I'd endorse the LibDems myself - not ideal, eithet, but at least somewhat less stupid than the two main ones.)
