Quote from: DaleCooper on January 27, 2026, 12:42:25 AMBurchill is a little eccentric.

She wrote an entire book of why [in a just world] she would have been born Jewish.

In October 1999, in an article for The Guardian, she wrote: "That young men succeed in suicide more often than girls isn't really the point. Indeed, the more callous among us would say that it was quite nice for young men finally to find something that they're better at than girls".

Sounds angry she was born a woman let alone a gentile.
The sad irony being that her own son later committed suicide.

She's a throwback who is now decades behind. She sees the clear and present danger of cafflicks in Britain and still harks back to WW2
Most of the other haters have moved on to fresher material.
