Bidisha. I want to be like her when I grow up.

[AnyFucker]

She is on Sunday Morning Live right now.

She is calm, articulate, engaging and so very clever.

Maybe one day

[StickyProblem]

You are like her AF, just in writing rather than face to face perhaps?!

[AnyFucker]

Gawd no, SP. I would like to be, though.

[EclecticShock]

She was impressive.

[Lottapianos]

Didn't see her today but she's great in print. She wrote a scathing article about marriage in the Guardian a few years ago which I enjoyed very much

[AnyFucker]

She is this tiny little lady, with a soft voice and a soft kind face, but she packs a powerful verbal punch

[Lottapianos]

If I recall correctly, they have some right tossers like Nick Ferrari on that Sunday Morning program - who was Bidisha up against this morning?

[namechangeguy]

She was debating racially offensive language with Abhijit Pandya. I thought he was far more interesting, given that he was an Asian Englishman arguing against bringing the likes of the Ferdinand/Terry case to the law courts. I always find people with stances like his far more interesting than those who are more predictable, even if I disagree with them.

[EclecticShock]

He had a point though in so much as the legal system wouldn't cope. He is a bit hard core though in terms of "just get on with it". I think he assumes everyone is or should be like him.

[LapsusLinguae]

I take it you know that she posts here?!

[EclecticShock]

I do now... Would be great to have a discussion with her.
