what you're actually saying is she doesn't have a right to voice an opinion about her taxes or how its spent. Well she does!

Huge earners like her could easily take their millions elsewhere and keep 90% of it through various clever investments. But instead she stays here and gives millions to the UK system. And you want to begrudge her one little moan about it? Yeah thats really fair.

and she doesn't need fickle fans either.

Of course working class people might also moan.. but they dont get left with £4,000,000 after they've paid tax do they? But poor old Adele has to pay 50% tax while someone earning £20,000 a year only has to pay a tiny 20%, how I feel for her. If she thinks she's taxed a lot than she should have seen it back in the 60s when the Beatles were taxed 95% on their earnings, bet 50% would have looked pretty damn good to them.

I dont have a problem with her giving her opinion, my problem is that she expressed in an obnoxious manner & that her opinion is basically bollocks, because our schools are not sh*t and the trains are not always late. And even if they were sh*t, I suppose her not being taxed as much would help would it?

And LOL I'm hardly fickle, but it annoys me when people who are excessively rich start moaning about high taxes, like they're being unfairly targeted or something.
