So Trimble was triumphant! Even featured on Radio 4 this morning, and now I think I'm in love after she named her most likely Mastermind topic - Dorothy L Sayers. <3<3<3
Surely the mere sight of someone who is more talented than you in any respect, who has the temerity not to feel really really bad about it is fair game for you to hate and villify?
She's actually pictured on the front of the Daily Rail across from Jade Goody with a tag line that goes something like "why do we promote stupidity over intellect", I only saw the front in passing at Waitrose so I can't comment on it further. Although I suspect it is going to be unfair to all sorts of people, especially the high-profile cancer victim.
Eye-gougingly ironic coming from the people making money out of dummifying the nation!
(Mind you, a bit of perspective on the Goody saga might be useful: like the fact that we're supposed to be moved by her marriage to a violent criminal, currently on home arrest for beating someone with a golf club!)
