Dame Emma of Twatson once described Britain as, “a tiny, cloud-bolted, rainy corner of ‘sort of’ Europe, a cake-filled, misery-laden, grey old island”. I think we may assume then that she has little time for the country which has done so much to give her fame and fortune. We love you too, Emma.
Anyway, there’s good news and bad news on the Dame Edna front. The good news is that Twatson (together with husband Sir Greg of Twatson) has become officially registered as a resident of Italy, and has been made an honorary citizen of Venice on the back of buying a flash pad in the historic centre of the city. Apparently the catalyst for this relocation comes from Brexit. Arch-Remoaner Thompson has always said that Britain would be “mad” to leave the EU, and whines that she’s always “just felt European” (newsflash: you’ve always been European, you dozy twat, and still are).
There’s bad news though. Luvvy, Champagne Socialist Emma still owns a £3 million pad in (you guessed it) West Hampstead, and a holiday home in Scotland. She and husband Greg are also retaining their British passports. We haven’t seen the back of her for good. No doubt she’ll continue to honour us with her presence from time to time; of course she’ll be popping back and forth for luvvy wankfests such as awards ceremonies and appearances on “The Graham Numpty Show”, not to mention finger-wagging appearances at Extinction Rebellion demonstrations. At the same time, I think we can safely assume that she won’t be travelling around by eco-friendly gondola.
I used to have a lot of time for Emma Thompson the actress, and I was also quite charmed by her air of amusing eccentricity, but no longer. She’s morphed into a tiresome, pompous hypocrite, the epitome of the word smug, as she jets around telling the rest of us to change. Please accept this two-fingered “virtue signal” from everyone at IsAC, and try not to trip over your own huge carbon footprint. We’d hate to see you fall flat on your self-important face.
