  So, it's been said before how The Left ends up eating its own.

  And now we have the case of Star Wars actress - can I say 'actress'? - Daisy Ridley ('Rey').

  In a recent Guardian article, she essentially denies her privilege by saying that her Star Wars co-star John Boyega ('Finn') is just as privileged as she is.

  Daisy Ridley descends from the Fitz-Corbetts (landed gentry) on her mother's side; her paternal grandfather was high up in the BBC and she went to a fee-paying school.

  And John Boyega grew up on a Peckham council estate.

  Er, yeah, nice one Daisy.

  TBH, I don't really think she deserves much of a backlash or to be 'cancelled' ... it's just pretty amusing when the 'Liberal-Left' eats one of its own.

  How is she part of 'The Left' exactly?

  How is she part of 'The Left' exactly?

  I think that most people by default are subject to 'the left' because in many areas it's the primarily promoted ideology, and until they do research/accept certain facts they'll be prone to it whether or not they hold strong opinions on various matters related to it. For instance, Daisey Ridley was quoted as saying that every "sane" person opposes Trump. This could be a strongly held belief, or it more likely is the assumption of what 'everybody' knows to be true, a common, basic fallacy.

  Well, let's be honest...

  ...lefties like Daisy Ridley do look pretty tasty.
