Mars-Bar Marianne Disses Brits -‘Dreadful People!’
How many of you are old enough to remember ‘Sixties legend Marianne Faithfull?’
==
==
She was a ‘close friend’ of at least one member of the Rolling Stones and we teen fan-fellows envied Mick Jagger ferociously.
Among other interesting aspects of their ‘scene’ was an urban legend ( vigorously denied by all concerned!) concerning Mars Bars…
….
…………
… which I won’t go into for fear of the Indonesian censors. She was the daughter of an Austrian aristocrat, which gave her an added exotic appeal.
One hopes, assuming she’s still blonde, she minds how she goes when re-visiting the parental home-land.
One might also wish she’d mind her manners when talking of the people of the land which made her famous and fairly rich.
She’s certainly old enough to know better than to insult all those Brits – the majority – who think differently from herself on the future of their country – by abusing them as ‘dreadful people.’.
oooooooo
“It is a disaster. I feel sick and very sad. We are back to where it used to be, the right-wing racist Little England, those dreadful people, they’ve always been there.

Cheeky cow!
She ought to apologise to the British majority for deploying this hate speech against them.

I was too young to appreciate Marianne but I have heard the Mars tales, Ross. She is a cheeky cow, though. Who does she think she is, telling us we’re dreadful.people. Over half the country, dreadful? I hope she doesn’t live in England anymore, rubbing shoulders with such a terrible race as the English.
If she does, she won’t be mixing with the working class, not like she used to when Mick and the other Stones were on the rise. I suppose she thought it was cool to slum it.
Am I right to say Mick was on the people’s side in the referendum?
He may have riches and fame like her, but he’s no bloody snob like her!

I enjoyed the photograph and searched for the Mars Bar story and that was very enjoyable too. She has denied it as you wrote but she did give the raiding London police a quick flash, she says herself..Very interesting post so thanks.
But did you know that the Austrian noble family she descends from are the Sacher Masochs.
It was one of them who invented masochism, You would think crunchy bars not mars bars!

Oh yes I can remember the scandal.
I think the sales of Mars bars shot up at the time, although I was too young to understand. Kids were a lot more innocent then.
Another celebrity who thinks her opinion matters.l
