Trudie "6 Homes" Styler to edit the Big Issue

[Hassled]

just a dainty champagne belch of over-entitlement.

I felt the need to share.

I know, it is really tacky, a real Marie-Antoinette moment.

[CogitoErgoSometimes]

Guest Editor. One-off. Big difference. We're all talking about it, it's in the papers, and I bet that edition of the Big Issue is bought by plenty that otherwise wouldn't. Not tacky...intelligent PR to raise the profile.

[Pedallleur]

Doesnt she (and Sting) have their own chef? Anyway they do own some lovely homes.

[limitedperiodonly]

By that reckoning anybody who has just one home oughtn't to edit The Big Issue either.

[ElderberrySyrup]

wow Cogito, are there really lots of Trudie Styler fans out there who will buy the Big Issue on the strength of her name?

I had no idea!

[CogitoErgoSometimes]

I don't know about fans, but she certainly scores on curiosity value. (Confession - I have no idea what she actually does) In the past, they've had David Cameron and Richard Branson edit the mag. They're not Cardboard City residents either.

[Disputandum]

Here is the editor's letter in response

And apparently the DM were similarly critical...Bird's response to that article here .

[CogitoErgoSometimes]

I like that response. Bird makes them eat crow.
