She may very well end up with an unkempt perm and a tickling stick, and ending her lefty lectures with the catch-phrase, "Tatty-by, everybody.

The worrying thing about our greatest living authoress is that she is beginning to look like a waxwork of herself. Poor old Silvio Berlusconi is going the same way.

Talking of manners, it is too early in the morning to be thinking about lowlifes and slipping into bad language. Lord Tebbitt says it perfectly.
