think of it like backing a horse, or having a favourite team

Yes but you have a vested interest If you’ve had a bet. So can lose. 
 

if you have a favourite team and have never spent a penny following them you’ve no right to be upset if they lose.

How can you lose something you haven’t taken part of or aren’t involved in? 

When you back something so vociferously, a defeat for that entity is a defeat for you.

Sports teams, X factor contestants...

Bolts has seemed very concerned about Brexit. America is closer to home for him 

Joe has delivered a vaccine on his first day too.

Still doesn’t answer my question though how you can lose?

you can have an opinion as everyone is entitled to but you can’t technically lose can you?

Yes. My brain is having a period of literalness unfortunately. It will last upto a week so I can only apologise in advance 

No worries. It amuses me when people try to reason with unreasonable you.

I'm still not sure who she is, and why Bolty despises her so much

 

Nice pearl necklace though

In Bolty's world she is part of the liberal, metropolitan cabal. She's a speaker and activist (after being an actor) and has fought for women's rights and especially women's rights to choose, and highlighting domestic abuse. She is most vocal about women's equality. Or a 'Feminazi', if you are inclined to disagree with her.

I believe she's also spoken on anti-hunting topics and I believe was one of those UN goodwill ambassadors. 

So, to some she's a 'champagne socialist' actor who has got above her station and telling others what to do,  to others she's a survivor of rape and someone who cares about certain causes and uses her platform to speak highlight these.

Not saying actors who preach are not inherently annoying, but the alt. right latched onto her as a bit of a figurehead for everything there really despise, and she just remained as vocal, good on her I say. Which in turn annoyed them more as they were worried their mrs would start getting ideas and wouldn't be able to iron their fred perry's before marches.
