Perhaps she made her point a little too well.

Still a bit flummoxed why she did it, even after reading the article, but jeeze, what a brave (and quite possibly mad) woman she is!

with all due respect to your opinion....... Really?

I believe this woman is in serious trouble now.

It looks more like aluminium than irony, pix :)

[anneasquith]
