I'll Stick With Barnaby rather than depthless Depp...

Undoubtedly my undying partiality for David L Wolper's inimitable, insurpassable, all-time wondrous original - and for me anyway, only 'true', authentic, ever-memorable - version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory(starring/showcasing Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka and Peter Ostrum as Charlie)has much to do with it, but - from word go - I've never had a lot of time for, much less been a fan of, 'celebrity' Johnny Depp... ...and so, following very recent events in Aussie, in particular after viewing Campbell Live's refreshing item on the tail-end of last Friday evening's (May 15th)show...all I can 'say' is: At last! A politician (Australian Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce) any self-respecting *anti-politico (can readily respect, and then some... Though, truth be told, I quietly and earnestly breathed a prayer that the two pooches in question, what're their names, **Pistin and Peaches? -whatever!...might have their lives spared: after all, who likes to hear of innocent defenceless pets being 'put down' through no fault of their own... ...still, my view of Mr Depp and his entourage of press supporters no doubt, in this regard anyway, is pretty well in synchrony with that of 'ye average true dinkum Aussie'... 'Stuff you', mate, get real...and get yourself together...and stop 'strutting your stuff' (though you probably really believe it)...somehow supposing that your 'big name', your endless fame and fortune etcetera, can in some way get you off the hook where 'us', your fellow 'lesser mortals', Joe and Jane Pleb, wouldn't have a chance, a brass razoo in fact, of getting dealt with similarly... Yes, 'power corrupts...(etc)', but all power to Mr Joyce - hopefully no relative (near or far) of our (i.e. God's Own) own Minister Joyce...yep, he's 'called out' Mr Depp for the ............ he apparently is...simultaneously giving all of us 'little guys' (and gals) a rare politician to look up to...in a day and age of endless policy 'wonks', gutless wonder wannabe politicos parading themselves as anything but... And how appropriate for John Campbell to air the item following one tub-thumping NZ Minister known of recent times as one only to happy and willing to throw his not inconsiderable weight around...and get away with stuff which, again, us lower-level 'plebs' never would or could have... And what a refreshing contrast in this instance where the shoe is well and truly upon the other foot...i.e. the politician is the one here doing the naming and shaming (rather than (some among the ranks of) the so often high and mighty realm of generally elitist actors and actresses who never tire of pronouncing upon matters political...contrasting this, in my own mind, anyway, almost without even trying, with some of our own (again, Aotearoa-New Zealand) politicoes of recent years (e.g. brain-fading P.M. John Key with ponytailgate and his predecessor Helen Clark with her own litany of paintergate, speedgate etc...). *classiless names well-befitting such a non-star as JD, anyhow.. *Including, surely, that British fella in the news of late (who fatefully-, or rather fatally-endorsed unsuccessful British Labour's here today, skedaddled tomorrow, leader Ed Miliband (David's younger brother; I say that as a David myself with an older brother), what'shisname, ah yes - at last: Russel(l) Brandt (I believe...) **Or were they 'Peaches and Cream' pr'haps?
