The welcome death of newspaper columnist Lynda Lee-Potter reminds me of Private Eye’s juxtaposition of two of her articles for the shame-free Daily Mail:
“The sight of a paunchy playboy [i.e. Dodi Fayed] groping a scantily-dressed Diana must appal and humiliate Prince William… As the mother of two young sons she ought to have more decorum and sense. She has for many years criticised Prince Charles for being a distant, undemonstrative father. In the long run he’s been the more responsible parent and certainly inflicted less damage, anguish and hurt.”
27 Aug 1997
“Throughout their childhood she gave her sons endless loving cuddles… She adored her children.”
1 Sept 1997.
