    The Woman Who Has It All

    As far as I can see, she has the capability of annoying just about every demographic there is:
    • Student protester who led the invasion of Millbank;

    • Mormon;

    • Single mother;

    • Convert to Islam who married a Muslim;

    • Cooks Halal sausages;

    • Regards Labour as "right wing";

    • Revolutionary who was asked to leave the Socialist Workers Party because of her views;

    • Opposed to the free market economy on ecological grounds;


    ... and more besides.

    I post this link to an interview with her purely because I can imagine the sound of numerous CUK regulars' heads exploding as they read it

    P.S. She even makes me go "WTF???" and I'm one of those Stonehenge hippies you used to read about back in the Eighties.

    Mind you:

    Solomon lives in an enviable location, on the sixth floor of the Oxo Tower in London. ...
    So it really exists - I thought the Oxo Tower was just an expression

        Sounds like a female version of "Wolfie", though I expect she is Tootings loss

          Shouldn't she be living in Nelson Mandela Towers, or something a little less capitalist

            Reminds me of a good friend of mine. Asian lesbian feminist she has now done two degrees and a masters, has spent at least the last ten years full or part time studying politics or psychology. Attends and organises demos, lectured on feminism and sumplements income by writing documentation for IT businesses.

            She always greets me as a capitalist sexist bastard who exploits workers abroad. I always ask call her 'darling' or 'toots' and ask her when she's
            going to get a real job and contribute towards running the country.

            It's a match made in heaven. Lesbian my arse.

              If you aren't a socialist as a youth, you have no heart.

              If you aren't a conservative as an adult, you have no brains.

              I'm not sure if the same holds for being a lesbian.

                  Socialists and communists don't believe in everyone being equal - they just want you to think they do.

                  They believe that everyone is equal, but that some are more equal than others.

                  Soviet leaders lived in the lap of luxury while their people had to survive on basic rations - all under the premise of "equality". Even worse in North Korea today where their people are starving - and check out photos of Robert Mugabe's palace.

                  Look at Libya - the country is officially named "Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriyah" - yet the Gaddafi's have billions stashed away.

                  Not saying that capitalists are better, but at least they don't add gross hypocracy to the rap sheet.

                    She lives in a council flat; it so happens that there is social housing in the Oxo Tower.
