There's growing resentment about various celebrities 'discovering' Dorset (and other places of course), relocating there when they've made some money in London, and taking half the Guardian's readership along with them.

Not that anyone should be told where they can / can't live, but local people genuinely feel the effects - economically, culturally, whatever. Plus quite often these celebrities are seen as patronising knobs, as I believe was the case with Huge Furry Shitty Tool recently when he tried to queue jump in a local shop.
