Just seen this. What a woman. Wise and I always thought full of life.

I’m shocked it’s not the number 1 story on the Daily Mail, she wrote for them! It’s not on there at all.

she was a great writer.

What a shock to read this - she was only 75

A real champion of women's rights and cancelled long ago for her views on transgender issues

A brilliant broadcaster, champion of women, and early victim of trans activism. I notice that only glancingly referred to i the obituary of the organisation she spent her career working for.
