I never liked the woman and found myself embarrassed by the attempts to portray her as a saint, given her behaviour in the time before her death and the fact that we quite obviously have a cuckoo in the royal nest, courtesy of Diana and Major Hewitt.<BR/><BR/>What made it more sickening was that Mother Theresa- a real saint- died at the same time- and nobody seemed to notice.Crushedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479751225625007588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128386.post-66095062020739024582007-06-16T02:22:00.000-07:002007-06-16T02:22:00.000-07:00It is hard to disagree with any of this.

I think that is why the electorate is getting so mistrustful of politics/politicians, and why election turn-out is so low these days.<BR/><BR/>(I have left a comment also on the post below.)Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444125754967223180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128386.post-67591810369909677612007-06-14T19:36:00.000-07:002007-06-14T19:36:00.000-07:00yep I agree.

He and the atrocious at so many levels, Cherie, are two of the biggest media 'sucks' in the political business. Cheap-shot nonsense by a cheap-shot PM in my esteem. I may not be a UK citizen, but I do have my biases.<BR/>IanIan Lidsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106994463366766471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128386.post-38142901365586097662007-06-14T07:16:00.000-07:002007-06-14T07:16:00.000-07:00What an amazing piece of writing.will watch with i...What an amazing piece of writing.<BR/><BR/>will watch with interest as things unravel over the coming weeks.<BR/><BR/>geordielassAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36128386.post-64900412059335909962007-06-14T03:48:00.000-07:002007-06-14T03:48:00.000-07:00Excellent piece Michelle.
