It has been revealed that Tilda ‘SWINTON‘ Swinton, Oscar winning actress and star of such films as The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Michael Clayton and Burn After Reading, is a supporter of the Scottish Socialist Party!
In an interview with the Independent, Swinton admitted she likes our style, yo:
Still, it would’ve been interesting to eavesdrop on the dinner-table conversation when Swinton first announced she’d joined the Communist Party (before later switching her allegiances to the Scottish Socialist Party). “It must be tricky when a child goes into a completely different world,” she muses, suddenly thinking of her own brood – 12-year-old twins Xavier and Honor – who came courtesy of her 15-year relationship with Scottish playwright John Byrne. “I ask myself what it must be like sometimes. I think if my children – my insanely pagan hippie children – eventually turn round and say that they’re going to be fascist accountants or join the BNP… well it’s a challenge, I think. But you know what? You just go on loving.”
Gies a couple of years and we’ll have those cool pagan hippie children leading workshops at Camp Secret Squirrel nae bother.
Tilda Swinton lives in Nairn, in the Highlands, and unfortunately we’re not standing there on May 6th. But never fear, Swinton! You’ll be able to vote for us come the Holyrood elections 2011, and if you want to help us hand out some leaflets some time you know where we are!
Tilda, we welcome your support and don’t forget you’re free to get in touch (*cough* make a donation *cough*) here anytime!
SWINTON.
I, for one, want her to come to a meeting so I can pester her for whatever formula she uses on her skin. I would actually kill to look that good at fifty.
