It is good to know that I am not alone. In Saturday's Scotsman, Joyce McMillan asks:
What is it, I sometimes ask myself, about Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary? As a feminist, I salute the brains and determination that have taken her to her present eminence. As a social democrat, I can only admire the years she has spent, in and out of parliament, working for good causes to do with human welfare and equality…
before adding that
every time I hear her voice or see her face on televison my freedom-loving soul begins to rebel. It's something to do with that ineffable tone of we-know-best do-goodery.
Unfortunately the full text of this article is not available online unless you pay the Scotsman lots of money.
