Lynda Lee Potter

[WaldoMcFroog]

The sad passing of a force for good and a voice for the average man and woman in a world of political correctness gone mad, or the joyous, long overdue death of an evil old hag pandering to lowest common denominator knee-jerk intorerance?

[georgit79]

Is she dead?! When? How? I really liked her, so I'm going with your first summing up of the great lady.

[Cetti]

Where did you see that Waldo?

 Only last Wednesday the Mail said she would be returning soon.

[WaldoMcFroog]

BBC news site.

[georgit79]

Yes, alas Waldo is right. She died of a brain tumour.

[Cetti]

Oh dear, that is so very sad - a brain tumour.

Whatever we thought of her scribblings she did encourage heated discussions in our house at least - and she will be sadly missed. It's hard to believe - a real shock.

[georgit79]

I agree Cetti. I'm sure the Daily Mail will have a big article on her life and times tomorrow. She was one amazing lady, whether we agreed with her or not (and most of the time, I did).

The latter.

[Ember]

I liked Lynda Lee Potter, she wrote how  I thought.  I shall miss her articles.   Her picture did not flatter her she looked a really toughie and I guess she was hard to work with, but she knew how to hit hard and was not afraid to speak out.   

[ludwig]

Neither really, but if I was forced to choose, I'd have to go with option 2.

[bernardo]

I'm not particularly familiar with her oeuvre, but I would guess probably the latter.

[smudge]

She will be sadly missed by him & me each week in 'The Daily Mirror'!

Whoops I meant 'The Daily Mail!........I had just been looking at myself in the 'mirror'! Ha ha!
