“We have a female prime minister here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she’s wonderful,” said the singer “I think it’s the best thing that’s happened to us in a long time. She’s a very intelligent woman but I don’t see much to fear. I will say it is great to have a woman in charge of the country. She’s very sensible and I think that’s a good thing at this point in time.”

Kate has my vote.
She could sing Hitler’s praises and she’d still be my all time favourite female singer, her Hammersmith gig was far and away the best I’ve ever been to, verging on a religious experience.
Truth be told, I reckon most rock stars are Tories, regardless of what they may say in public to the contrary.
There’s a Mr Bragg on line 2 wants a word.
Says you’ll know what it’s about…
Don’t drive a Wedge between us Ivan.
Never rated Billy, was listening to him earlier on a 6 music documentary about REM and had to skip over his spoken bits, always found him a bit sanctimonious and overly earnest.
Bragg is not only sanctimonious – and sphincter-clenchingly boring to go with it – but has a voice like a rutting bull moose.
“Levi Stubbs’ tears is a good song”, but his output is quite same-y/
Bill Bailey’s “unisex chip shop” sums up mr brag and his goose-farting-in-long-grass voice.
i simply can not believe what i’ve just read. bertie, neilo and rob g – you are all dead to me.
I had a good innings!
‘Fess up, Scottser: I was dead to you a long time ago :)
am afraid that might be true
still recall the stomach-pit disappointment I felt when first heard George Harrison’s Mr Taxman….just a capitalist, tory scum, George :(
and as for Bowie and Jagger’s Let’s Work…
(wasn’t that surprised about Jagger though)
The taxes were insanely high then though.
Few songs written about Harold Wilson’s taxation regime – ‘Sunny afternoon’ by the Kinks as well.
I prefer to think of George standing firm against all but total expropriation of the fruits of his labour. You try paying double the tax you pay now and see how you might like it (spoiler alert: you won’t like it).
yeah true but, at the time, George was banging on ad nauseum about charity, generosity and love for his fellow man – and this was at a time of extaordinary hardship among working class communities in Britain.
Welcome to Celebrity Blowhard: say one thing (ban guns/don’t take unnecessary flights) then do another (have armed guards/own private jet).
I think Bertie’s spot on, actually. It’ll be a cold day in hell before Paul Heaton votes Tory but I’d say Noel Gallagher would do it in a heartbeat if he thought his mam wouldn’t find out.
2016 takes another… or something? I dunno.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Spooky Theresa May the paedophile apologist
Back that allegation up re May. A thorough police investigation concluded there was no substance to the witness’ account. Leon Brittan and Harvey Proctor were entirely innocent and grotesquely smeared. As for Kate, how so very dare she veer one degree from the luvvies’ primer on proper political thought: you make, we take.
It was probably George Soros up to his old tricks again ;)
Heathcliff…It’s me a Tory
V. good!
C̶l̶o̶u̶d̶Unionbusting
V. good also!
Kate shares views held by the majority of people in Britain if the latest opinion polls are anything to go by.
Ignore the hysterical weeping of the sandal-eaters at The Guardian and the BBC.
May’s approval ratings are sky-high as she works methodically towards invoking A50 and beginning negotiations to free Blighty from the pernicious grasp of Brussels.
If only Paddy had had the guts to resist the threats from the French midget over the second Lisbon vote.
I voted against the Treaty – twice.
@Sheikh – I don’t think Charger meant the Treaty of Westphalia.
Individuals might have sky-high ratings but it’s what governments do that actually matters.
A ‘female’ prime minister eh?
Like a…….
Female doctor?
Female pilot?
Male nurse?
Female POPE?!!
Ban Garda?
Male cook?
Female chef?
Male secretary?
:-I
There was a rumor of one back in middle ages, Pope Joan.
Rumour ? If you call giving birth at a crossroads while on a pilgrimage a rumour why yes, as i understand it, the peasants all agreed it was a miracle.
Or maybe they stoned the jamie lee curtis-alike to death.
Or maybe I imagined all this…
Easy not to see much to fear from the likes of the Tories when you’re rich.
