What Elton John said. The legendary British rock singer, who’s now 72, went into a 60-second rant in Verona on his farewell concert tour. condemning Brexit. He says he’s “ashamed” of his country for leaving the EU. Moreover, he calls himself “European,” not an “English idiot.”

Here’s some of Elton’s diatribe:

“I’m ashamed of my country for what it has done. It’s torn people apart … I am sick to death of politicians, especially British politicians. 

“I am sick to death of Brexit. I am a European. I am not a stupid, colonial, imperialist English idiot.”

Now “Rocketman,” the new Elton John biopic, has just come out to positive reviews. I wonder if Brexit supporters on the other side of the the Pond will want to see it after this insult.

Nor is this the first time Elton has railed against Brexit. Last year he said that British people didn’t know what they were voting for when they voted for Brexit (the stupid prats!). On top of that, he called Brexit a “new cereal”:

“There’s a new cereal called Brexit. You eat it and you throw up afterwards.”

Well, thanks for sharing that, Elton.

On the other hand, there’s Who frontman Roger Daltrey, who gave a colorful defense of Brexit not long ago. Brilliant!

But we in America have this in common with our cousins in Merry Olde England — celebrity idiots who also despise the nation and her ordinary people. For example, Johnny Depp said this about President Trump:

“When was the last time an actor assassinated a President?”

Or Star Trek actor George Takei:

Trump is a cancer on our democracy. He must be rejected by all patriots, for the good of our national identity and values.

And then there’s the perennial abortion-maven Alyssa Milano, who says she’s “pro-life,” but then called for a “sex strike” so that unfettered abortion might be available everywhere. Because we common women need her to tell us how to think.

Milano also joins the Hollywood crowd who want to stick it to the good people of Georgia for — gasp! — having the audacity to support unborn babies.

There are also celebrities like Alec Baldwin, Jimmy Kimmel, and Amy Schumer who despise the NRA — an organization made up of American citizens.

In other words, celebrity gasbags are the same everywhere. They hate us, they think we’re inferior, but don’t mind taking our money.

I’m sorry, dear old England. We feel your pain.
