We understand it very well and still don't want it. Your explanation doesn't make any sense, let UK politicians stay politicking UK.

She's not a politician, though. The central point remains, which is had the original headline said "Why is a prominent British film-maker Drafting [etc]" then nobody would have bothered clicking through. It's the allusion to posh British aristocracy in silly hats that's the disingenuity at the heart.

  I am seeing the side several are trying to point out, and sure, it's fine to educate on the issue or title inherited / given and what have you. However I must disagree with "Why is a prominent British film-maker"... nobody would click.. At least for me, and I assume many others in the US - Seeing: British X about Censorship - is a thing.. just like when we see British comedians talk about gun rights or British news people talk about Y thing. When it things in the Bill of Rights or similar documents, we are going to take influence differently than if it was British person X talks about Tea or Ships or something.

> We understand it very well that the person in question is not a politician and has a peerage for their work in film and for childrens rights > However I am against this because we should let UK politicians stay politicking in the UK!!! That’s hilarious, you said you understand it very well then immediately made it clear you don’t understand it very well.

I doubt you understand it. The peasant-aristocrat economic and social systems of Europe are in full swing in the US. Whether its a political family or rich ones, they stand on a peerage, exalted as demi-gods of the Americas. No different than a European title of nobility.

Right, veneration for being insanely rich is much more American and makes so much more sense.
