I saw her talk on a news programme last night...

shes so composed and articulate, and clear-sighted and insightful and compassionate and calm and stylish and unique...

and the work she does/ what she acheives is OUTSTANDING..

heres a link to her wiki page...but it doesnt do her any justice

Camilla is that you? Smile

WorraLiberty · 04/07/2012 10:54

Never heard of her but she sounds like a caped crusader Grin

keithlemonsbackdoors · 04/07/2012 10:56

She is my hero! Seriously, the woman should be made a saint, I have no idea how she finds the energy or the patience for what she does. Truly inspirational.

chrisdriver · 04/07/2012 10:56

She always makes me feel completely inadequate. Awesome work.

WorraLiberty · 04/07/2012 10:56

Re the 'stylish' comment.

Because I thought perhaps the photo in the link didn't do her justice, I ran her name through Google Images.

I can't find a stylish photo amongst them!

She does sound like an amazing woman though and since looking at Google, I do recognise her now.

everybodysang · 04/07/2012 10:59

yes, I bloody love her. I would vote for her to be president of the world.

bejeezus · 04/07/2012 10:59

Ok, heres a link to HardTalk which she was on last night.

we all need to know who she is!

I think she's amazing :)

From a priviledged background, she has dedicated her life to helping others. Such an inspiration.

mumeuro · 04/07/2012 11:04

absolutely not, Camila is FANTASTIC, a truly remarkable woman.

weblette · 04/07/2012 11:07

Brilliant brilliant woman. President of the universe agreed!

MegBusset · 04/07/2012 11:10

Great woman, and surely the person with the best name to appear frequently on the news, alongside fire brigade spokesman Turan Turan :)

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 04/07/2012 11:11

Fantastic woman, I had the privilege of meeting her once and it was unforgettable.

bejeezus · 04/07/2012 11:13

She speaks a lot of sense that woman. I think she's fab.

bejeezus · 04/07/2012 11:18

I love her too, she's inspirational.
I can never pronounce her name though.

bejeezus · 04/07/2012 11:23

no neither can I lady
No one can pronounce my name either. It is mildly irritating, so i need to know how to pronounce Camila Batmanthingy properly

Quenelle · 04/07/2012 11:27

I too think she's awesome. I've never had cause to say her name out loud but in my head I say 'Camilla Batmangaily'.

That's not right is it?

bejeezus · 04/07/2012 11:28

In my head, I say

Batmanheldig

OP posts:
MegBusset · 04/07/2012 11:29

The Beeb say Batman-jelly

Hullygully · 04/07/2012 11:30

she is TOTES AMAZEBALLS

I want to be her when I grow up

WowOoo · 04/07/2012 11:30

I agree - she's a wonderful woman.

I cannot ever remember how to say her name properly, so I say 'Camilla Batty dresses.'

QuickLookBusy · 04/07/2012 11:32

She is awesome, she has just bben on Woman's Hour. I love her and everything she tries to do.

I don't understand why she isn't ruling the world.

bassingtonffrench · 04/07/2012 11:35

i heard her on desert island discs I think. She's quite funny as well but IIRC she had difficult times growing up as her sister committed suicide? they were refugees from Iran.
