    You said he wasn’t working class. He was. You said he is a drug addict. He isn’t. You said all his material is about drugs, it obviously isn’t. Just saying falsehoods isn’t an argument.

      Working class film star? You don’t seem to understand what that actually means.

      You couldn’t find a clip of him not talking about drugs.

      Your argument amounts to “nuh uh”. Go on now, time to get ready, the school bus is on its way

        I haven’t provided a clip of him NOT talking about drugs because that is such a dumbfuck statement.as to not warrant a real response but if you insist;

        https://youtu.be/xeLuvhCurfk

        Gosh he just can’t shut up about them can he? Actually he can and most of the time he isn’t talking about drugs. Shocker.

        OBVIOUSLY at the point of being a film star he was no longer working class. Jesus. I’ve never said he is CURRENTLY working class, but he is not Working Class in income only. And because Working Class is an amorphous social group, he has more of a claim to it than many other people. Therefore he is a working class man from Essex who became rich and famous. I think you’re the one who needs to go to school if you need it spelt out for you so laboriously. His mannerisms and experience and outward appearance are a result of his working class upbringing, money doesn’t suddenly give you an RP accent and a Habsburg’s Jaw.

          OBVIOUSLY

          No, you haven’t proven that at all. Being from a single parent household does not make you working class. Being born in Essex does not make you working class.

          You’re just making shit up, son

            So a single mother with no qualifications living in Grays, a grim Essex town and raising her son by herself is what? Middle class? I don’t know why you’re so desperate to gatekeep being poor.

                I’ve not said anything positive about him, but OK. At least you’ve admitted you were wrong.
