Hardly a national obsession with only around 4 million viewers. Kitten?
Clever? No. She`s probably done more to destroy what credability activism
has than Thatcher ever did. She is unutterably stupid.

And undermines and opens up to ridicule the very causes she purports to
espouse and thus does them damage. I mean, who in their right mind would

She just talks _at_ people not to them. And when she sees that people don`t
agree with her she resorts to shouting and insulting them. Usually the sign
of a braindead extremist fanatic. The thing with these sorts is they tend to
bandy the word `principle` the way Tories bandy the words `honourable` and
`respectable`, - merely figleaves.
