Her philanthropy? Academic prowess?<br /><br />No. She was on the stage because she is totty. That Labour would choose her to introduce Brown speaks to their poor judgment and lack of respect for the electorate.<br /><br />And enough with the faux outrage - she is 20 not 13. She can speak for herself - as she so aptly demonstrated when she called for Gordon Brown to resign.Intentionally Blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308816777751570233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-49027044995195271212010-04-13T13:02:20.585+01:002010-04-13T13:02:20.585+01:00"is there any criticism of Labour"

If she was middle-aged and looked like Susan Boyle no-one would pay the slightest bit of attention to her (she certainly wouldn't have been invited to introduce the PM at his manifesto launch).<br /><br />But of course I, like you, follow her.
