It's a most immature way to seek attention by talking other people down (I don't know if that's an expression in English but it is in Dutch, bear with me as English is not my primary language) Nice to see there are a lot of people who recognise her behaviour for what it is.

If Hilary Mantel wants to berate someone publicly, let her find a worthy target. Than Shwe (Burma), Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) or Kim Jong Il (North Korea) come to mind.<br /><br />Ah... Hilary may wish to take these poor examples of humanity to task from a safe distance, as none of them are known for their forbearance or kindly acceptance of public criticism. Just sayin'.<br /><br />Nice rant, by the way.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-90326281848615415902013-02-22T18:16:40.457+00:002013-02-22T18:16:40.457+00:00Amen, Scriptor.

I struggled with the book, and tried to re-read it, thinking perhaps I'd missed something. Last week I finally gave up and took it to the second-hand book shop. I can use the shelf space for much more interesting things!

Am I right in assuming that it is an honour to be invited to give a lecture at the British Museum? With her rather base comments and very bad manners, Miss Mantel is akin to a very small person playing a very badly-tuned violin. She should have been treated accordingly. <br /><br />And a question: It is clear from her speech on “Royal Bodies” that Miss Mantel thinks she has scruples. Moreover, she thinks she is serving them in speaking out of conscience against things she thinks are wrong, and that she wants others to think are wrong, as well – the objectification of women comes to mind. But where were her scruples when it came to accepting a prestigious literary award from the very hand of the woman over whom she passed her eyes “as a cannibal views his dinner”? Enough said. <br /><br />Scriptor, your response to Hilary Mantel's photo is hilarious - and bang on! <br />Carry on, McGregor <br /><br />McGregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268805830469084301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-70958356966045049142013-02-21T04:34:32.644+00:002013-02-21T04:34:32.644+00:00Oooooooh, someone's got a crush on Kate! 8-)Oooooooh, someone's got a crush on Kate! 8-)Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-69999827778016303742013-02-21T00:59:51.700+00:002013-02-21T00:59:51.700+00:00Wow, I'm still reeling over your "shockin...Wow, I'm still reeling over your "shocking" previous post! I heard about the comments this person made, but you filled me in on the details nicely. I agree with you. We don't truly know famous people. Just like we really don't know our fellow bloggers unless we've met them or know them personally. I wouldn't want Kate Middleton's life or any celebrities life. It puts you "out there" for all to see and judge. This lady seems to think she has the right to do that. It's so wrong. So I'm going out on a limb here...I don't know her either but I can see she has weird eyebrows and who does her hair? yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.com
