Read full article: Rupert Everett: 'We are about to become like the Indians were during the British Empire' - TelegraphActor Rupert Everett has spoken of his fears on how an influx of wealthy oligarchs is distorting British society, claiming: "We are about to become like the Indians were during the British Empire".
[HR][/HR]
The actor, who stars as Oscar Wilde in The Judas Kiss, claimed the ordinary British people will soon become "a service station to a new class, the uber-rich".
He said "the face of London is totally changed," due to an influx of very wealthy tycoons, joking he could soon become a "court jester" to "some oligarch".

"Yes there's still a class system but it's more than that. We are about to become like the Indians were during the British Empire, a service station to a new class, the uber-rich."
Joking he would become a "courtier" in his interpretation of new London, he added "we" would no longer be able to afford to live in the capital "because they will have priced everything out."
