AIBU to think Adelle is greedy, ignorant and ungrateful?

Surely most people would just be pleased that they'd earned £8 million, and grateful to the general public for spending so much money on her music?

Also, while she clearly doesn't realise trains have been privatised, she presumably never plans to use a road or pavement again - as clearly her tax bill couldn't go towards paying for them? Likewise I imagine she never plans to avail herself of the police, fire or ambulance services? Nor of course is she benefiting financially from the various free-trade agreements (worked out at the taxpayers' expense) that allow her to sell her music overseas and thus get such a whopping tax bill? She make think state schools are shit, but she went to one - who does she think paid for it?

Why is it the more money people seem to earn the stingier they get?

sorry miss read your last statement - for me it is all about how one feels in their own skin.

Quite right DTM - Gaga is a nutjob too, and knowing that millions of teenage girls will hang onto her every word, she should keep her stupid trap shut when it comes to her eating habits.

And you're right - if you're healthy it doesn't matter what your size is - except that above a certain weight, you are FAR less likely to be healthy.

Yes yes, we all know someone who weighs 18 stone and regularly runs marathons blah blah blah. Just like we all know someone who is 5 foot 8 and weighs 6 stone and is perfectly healthy.

But it isn't the NORM. Human beings are not MEANT to be painfully skinny, and neither are they meant to be so fat they can hardly move.

And Adele may never get so fat she can hardly move - but plenty of teenage girls who already have a bit of puppy fat will listen to her yapping on about how it's, like, so fuckin' BORING to exercise, and ya know, she just luvs her beer and they'll think "Well, Adele is fat and happy so why shouldn't I be, too?" and they'll ditch the Slimming World membership and carry on stuffing their faces with cakes, happy in the knowledge that they're being JUST like Adele. Because it's what you're like on the INSIDE that counts, isn't it? Completely forgetting that yes, the inside is what counts, but if what's on the inside is layers of blubber round your internal organs, you're likely to die young.

Davidtennantsmistress I wasn't saying it was bad she was a bit larger - in fact I think it's nice to see a different shape and someone who doesn't commit to the size 0 religion.

I was merely stating a fact in that she is a bit overweight and therefore much much more likely to have poorer health than someone who maintains a healthy weight and therefore will potentially be more of a burden on the NHS!

Haven't read most of the posts but what's the world coming to of you cant have a bit of a moan about your tax bill if you want. At least she's paying it.

What would be worse, not moaning but then leaving the country to some tax haven so she didn't have to pay it like alot of celebs do.

I also find it refreshing that she doesn't feel the need to censor everything she says although I'm sure that will change now.
