Writing from across the pond, I’m astonished that noone has commented on this article in almost nine months! Although only Laurence Fox is known to me as Hathaway in the much beloved Lewis, your comment that “Cultural figures are people too” rings true. It is oft defensively repeated by “cultural hereoes” in the U.S. However, all too often their political perspectives, touted by media simply because they are celebrities, is embarrasing for all because their insights are inferior to their professional skills.Your ability to phrase the issue so cogently should be read by all here in the States.
