Like the Democrats when Hillary ran, Remainers enlisted the very vocal support of Hollywood luvvies to fight their cause.
Hollywood actors Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan led the way, backed up by the likes of grime artist Stormzy and pop singer Lily Allen.
Grant, who seemed to forget that playing a fictitious Prime Minister in Love Actually is not a qualification to be a real politician, spent weeks marching around ordering people not to vote for Johnson or the Conservatives because they had the audacity to want to act on the democratic will of the people.

'I don't want to sound dramatic,' he said, dramatically, 'but I really think we're facing a national emergency.'
The absurdly affected arrogant and pompous twerp believed he was the one to save us all from ourselves.
Instead, Britons responded exactly how I assumed they would to a jumped-up hectoring thespian trying to destroy democracy - and voted against everyone he supported.
There was a wonderful photo taken in a West London restaurant of the precise moment multi-millionaire Grant read the devastating (for him) 10pm exit poll on his cell-phone and his head sunk in abject disbelief.
Like the Trump-hating liberal celebrities who so raucously endorsed Hillary, he was hit by a sudden thunderbolt of reality that his views are not shared by most actual real people.

Rush was right. Twitter isn’t the real world.
In the real world ya gotta bust a nut. Otherwise nothin gets done. The elite don’t get it. Never will.
Poor hugh.Somebody get him some tuffs.
This is a long and interesting article written by Piers Morgan about how the alliance between socialist and millionaire celebrities has led Labour Party to a catastrophic defeat and the same could happen to Democrats in the US too. Nice one, Piers.
Superb article Piers! Great read!— Agent_Putt (@AgentPutt) December 14, 2019
note he doesnt reject what they stand for, just that they turn people off.
Glad we dodged the bullet, but they’re still out there shooting.
That can’t be true, I’m mean, like, they, like um, put soooo much feeeeling into those tweets and stuff! How could anybody work harder than that!?
Boris really rocks that “I slept in my suit, just got out of bed & pulled off a wool cap” look.
radical socialists backed by self-righteous celebrities on Twitter are electoral poison PIERS MORGAN

As a more-than-close watcher of UK politics, the strangest aspect (of many strange aspects) of Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign was his dogged refusal to take a stance on Brexit.
A blind man could see that he was trying - and failing - see which way the wind was blowing but ended up taking no position at all even when it mattered most. Making matters worse, every sensible person knew that Labour - as a party or as a voting bloc - were pro-EU with every fiber of their being, because the EU are authoritarianism writ large and so are Labour.
The EU is dying a slow death anyway and all the so-called benefits of membership were already disappearing rapidly.
hugh grant getting the news

Grant’s Kensington actually fell to the Tories! You had a Red Leave riding say thanks but no thanks to the British Deep State.
Celebrity opinion represents no one but themselves. They really need to put some ice on it.
Remember Pauline Kael after Richard Nixon’s landslide win in 1972? She famously wrote no one she knew voted for him.
Democrats are in a world of hurt over impeachment. They think everyone shares their hatred of our President.
They’re in for a rude awakening next year.
Great article. I love British invective “pompous liberal twerp”.
Twitter appeals to these big league celebs to reveal their nefarious slant and wish to make people embrace policies benefiting them but which are suicide for average people, from abortion,polygamy mariage “equality”, gun control etc... it only works for the rich and powerful
Robert De Niro and Alyssa Milano come to mind. When Twitter has finished shadowbanning conservatives, they’ll think the people who tweet on it are representative of America.
Au contraire.
