To be honest, I barely noticed that the ex-First Lady had graced these ancient shores but, happily, The Coffee House spotted it and today we had some commentary from Brendan O'Neill.
Mr. O'Neil was not amused!
She’s here with her daughter Chelsea — the dictionary should replace its definition of the word nepotism with just a photograph of Chelsea Clinton — to promote their book, The Book of Gutsy Women.
That’s clearly how Hillary and Chelsea see themselves. As gutsy women. I guess it does take a great deal of courage to live in vast mansions and earn £190k ($250k) for a speech to filthy-rich bankers about diversity or whatever. I wonder if the numerous women adversely affected (to put it politely) by the various Hillary-cheered wars in the Middle East think the Clintons are gutsy? Someone should ask them.
Apparently, she ticked us off for leaving the EU:
She’s called into question the wisdom of our democratic vote to leave the EU. She is ‘concerned’ about where the UK is heading. You shouldn’t ‘separate yourself from Europe’, she said. ‘Democracies need to stick together.’
Mr. O'Neil puts her right but I doubt he will receive any thanks!
We’re not separating ourselves from Europe, Hillary. We’re separating ourselves from the EU. Europe is a vast continent that has existed for aeons; the EU is a bloated, bureaucratic nightmare that has only existed, in its current form, since 1993. We’ll be fine.
And, Mrs. ex-First Lady, when we need your advice, we'll ask for it. It appears that even the American public can do without it judging by your electoral record!
Crooked lying Hiltery, has apparently called into question the wisdom of our democratic vote to leave the EU..... ‘Democracies need to stick together.’
WTF has the EU got in common with democracy ?

Have you tried asking an African or Asian country? They are usually less stringent about toxic waste.

Whyaxye,
Good idea.

Rhod Sharpe on Radio 5 Dull has just had his usual east coast anti-President Trump bunch on, the Boston Globe as is often the case, sometimes Huffpo, which is just as bad.
Billary was reverently mentioned as the surprise 'candidate' for Massachusetts, and stupidly, Sharpe reffered to her as 'Goldilocks'!
How bloody stupid to bring up a decent fable where right obviates wrong, and turn it into praise for an even stupider, snobbish, thick, interfering, loopy old bag such as Slickwilly's other third!
Life-hack - Listen to this New England bloke any time you want utter boredom, slow understanding of facts, and a delivery which smacks of total disinterest in anything other than leftie US politics, (because he lives there).

Presumably Hillary's broomstick is a two seater. Or does Chelsea have one of her own?

Uncle Mort,
It's likely that Chelsea would get her father, whoever he is, to buy her one.

Apparently Maggie doesn’t make it into the book because she did nothing for women’s rights.

She wants us to stay in the E.U. This is a typical example of why I want out:
