      I think the ethics of this issue change depending on perspective. Do you look at celebrities as individuals or as a group?
      If somebody has the power to improve a situation and maybe even save lives by sharing their opinions (e.g. raising awareness of the climate catastrophe), then they have a moral obligation to do so. With great power comes great responsibility.
      However, celebrities sharing their opinions increases the divide between people. Movies used to be about people enjoying the same thing, now half the population complains all the time about "woke Hollywood" and movies have become a divider instead of a uniter, which is problematic in our divided times.
      Therefore, as individuals, it's their obligation to speak up if they see injustice and danger, as a group they should shut up.

      @@GothamClive But, do the celebrities choose to speak out, or are they badgered into expressing spur-of-the-moment thoughts? One could start by looking at the attitude of journalists in their published work in politics ... "refused to confirm" and "refused to deny" appear too often, as if the journalists believe they have a right to interrogate and expect answers from whoever they like.

But if they want to emulate the bore at the pub they are within their rights to do so. I think it would have limited impact and probably just increase the esteem in people who already support what they say and alienate fans that disagree. Not likely to win them more fans for their day job, but turn some away so a net negative to them. But they have a right to express themselves.

    Saying celebrities shouldn't get involved with politics is crazy. So many people would love to think they don't live in a world where politics matters. But will be the first to complain about rising prices and too many foreigners.
    I say flood all areas of life with accepting that local and national politics is inescapable for everyone and creating safe spaces where we don't have to talk about life's problems is the kind of childish behavior that brought the UK to its current place.

    My question is:
    Why dont more broadcast shows appear on RUclips, outside of the region they are contractually obliged?
    (I'm generally talking about quiz shows, but a wider viewpoint would be appreciated)
    I've always loved watching ROHOG, and when I left the UK to live abroad, I was so happy to see the Mundo RUclips channel (which I assume is Richard's production company) showing all the episodes, all be it later than originally aired, but I'm happy to be late to the game as a consequence of living away.
    Why don't more productions follow suit? The big money must be in primetime TV, but there is still revenue to be made outside of that and after the airing 🤔💭
    Are traditional TV shows still soo...stuck in a legacy idea of scheduled TV contracts, and revenue streams? Even now? 🤔💭🙏

    I think there are two problems with "celebs" giving an opinion on X etc - One, they are trying to use the size of their platform. Two, they completely forget the size of their platform. For instance, I once did a tweet (as it was) supporting something AF Neil said. Neil then misread what I wrote and ploughed into me. Now, this shouldn't matter, except he has a huge following. For a week, I had thousands of his supporters attacking me. It wasn't nice. I think in that case, he reacted instinctively (I think it wasn't planned because he had obviously misread the post), and forgot that he has thousands of attack dogs waiting to join in.
    When it comes to opinions, politicians hoping for celeb endorsements isn't new. Think of JFK and Monroe. But it has changed. And perhaps they haven't realised it has changed. Richard is right, and celebs probably make little or no difference to how people vote (that argument has also been levelled at newspaper endorsements too). But that is NOW. Years ago, when social media was the letters page in a magazine, it could make a difference, simply because it was much rarer.
    There is an old adage about some people voting for candidate X because "they have nice teeth." There is truth behind the silliness. People are attracted to candidates who tick boxes beyond politics; people who would be a nice person to have around to dinner. If the politician attaches themselves to a celeb you would like to have around to dinner, then that helps. But not if absolutely everyone is doing it too.
    We are now swamped with thousands of well-known faces and voices having an opinion, and the effect has simply worn itself out.
    There is another side to this, however, which may have some influence. A person who is thinking of voting for X anyway, might have their support strengthened by either being endorsed by the right person, or behaving like that person who you would like to have around to dinner. I think Ed Davey pulled this off beautifully. Most politicians are actually quite nice people away from the camera. You get a few absolute idiots, but it is not common. Davey and his team went to great lengths to show off his personable side (which is quite genuine). It might have gained the LibDems a few votes, I suppose, but mostly, it persuaded people who were leaning that way anyway to go for it. Not a bad strategy at all.

Good on him for using his fame and fortune to try and better his country/the world, rather than just buying a yacht. Unfortunately, too many people in the media see themselves as gatekeepers. Sure, not every celebrity has the same political literacy, but we don't get to pick and choose who speaks.

      I'd say that's a bit different. It's more charity than politics. Because she's giving huge publicity to a specific cause and organization. She's not just endorsing one of the two major political parties. And even though it's within a highly controversial context, most everyone can agree that it's a noble aim to support children in war-zones.

    I have no issue with celebrities expressing their opinions on any matter they wish to. The problem comes when they arrogantly deem themselves qualified to preach to the rest of us that we must share those opinions, when their views have been formed within an echo chamber of rich privilege where only those opinions exist.

    I do care what a celebrity thinks about politics when it comes knowing I can like them, because they aren’t MAGA. I’ve never been persuaded by a celebrity’s opinion, though.

    I think the entertainment industry can have a strong impact over politics (especially if you include sports stars) but crucially only to mobilise not to influence
    I don’t think there are many people who will change their political opinion because of something Taylor Swift says but I bet their are plenty who are apathetic to who wouldn’t have voted who might end up down the polling station because she stressed how important it is
    It’s why I think Mbappe speech was so effective. I doubt he convinced any far right voters but he stressed how important the vote was and I recon that contributed to the high turnout out

      Yep, I don't buy that he didn't have a hand in getting her the role. The nepotism bothers me - but I'm also a realist and know that this goes on all the time in the industry - the main thing that bothers me is Richard pretends he didn't have a hand in making it happen! Just own it. Ingrid is a good actor, and funny, she'd have a good chance of getting in on merit, BUT she's obv front of the queue because her husband wrote the damn thing. I like the channel, however I get fed up with how disingenuous they can both be.

    Pretty tone deaf conversation, celebrities or artists whatever you want to call them are also a part of society. They’re allowed to say what they believe to be right. I imagine most people wouldn’t be swayed to vote based off what a cleaner says but they have the right to say it

    Well, to be blunt a celebrities job is to technically entertain people not fill peoples heads with their ideologies and celebrities only get filthy rich because their fan base and support from their viewers. However, once celebrities start getting into politics, I want to have nothing to do with those celebrities, nor do I ever want to support nor watch their movies because Celebrity should stick to entertainment where politics should stick to politics entertainment to entertainment politics to politics is how I say it, but keep celebrities and journalist out of politics and the journalist and activist out of our damn entertainment because it’s getting to be very annoying

    I will make a point of not watching any show that gives any of the current Tories a job.
    MPs have been happy enough to stick their nose into other people's business and have a often badly informed view, so we all have a right to comment whether that's always wise or well done is another matter.
    But again, I will boycott anything that gives the likes of Rees Mogg or any of them a jolly.
    I would never watch 'I'm a Celebrity..' anyway because its gross and tacky , but putting the likes of Hancock and Farage on it confirms my decision. I will never ever give it a go.
