It's just that it gets me annoyed that 'working class' people become class traitors and turn against their own once they get a few quid.

I accept he's not doddery, Dot.
He did part of his NS fighting in Korea...........
I like Michael Caine, the actor.
He has worked for his money sandy, and therefore able to better himself, not really traitorous, just bl@@dy lucky, I believe he still has his Saaf London accent, which makes me wonder if anyone will understand him.

Michael Caine got where he is by hard word and dedication, and it it THAT way of life which is promoted by the tories.

Labours policy seem to be:

Dont worry if you dont want to go to work, live on benefits.

Want lots of children but cant be bothered to get married, dont worry, live on benefits.

Spend most of your time drunk or on drugs, dont worry claim incapacity benefit and stay at home all day.

THAT is why Micheal Caine is supporting them, he is no class traitor (whatever that means) he is just fed up with labour paying for millions of people to sit at home all day and do nothing while the rest of the taxpayers fund it (and put the country into massive debt).
> just bl@@dy lucky

He was not lucky at all.

He spent years as a struggling actor, appearing in stage plays, and in small parts on radio, and in tv shows and movies.

He made his first small appearance in a film in 1950 (when he was 17) but had to wait till he was 31 before getting his big break in Zulu in 1964.

Many actors would have given up before then (as he was advised to do a number of times by various people in the business) but he stuck at it and eventually came good.

So luck played almost no part in it, just sheer hard work.

Good on him, I have a lot of time for him.

Michael Caine got where he is with some skill and a great deal of luck. He's placed himself in the company of people like Frank Bruno, Bob Monkhouse, and Kenny Everret when he supported the Torys.
Celebrities in the entertainment business really shouldn't go outside their area of expertise.
He was Bl@@dy lucky he got the breaks and was able to escape his working class roots. I have lot of time for him too.
Like Arnie and reagan i suppose, and some to that joanna lumley, there's no success there is there
