i was reading that yesterday & the day before when she left for nepal,
we had major discussions about this and her in the Cantina (where this will no doubt get moved):

she did a lot more that just 'help' - she was the driving force that overcame the pinch penny scotsman and his ilk in government. i hope she runs for parliament.
fresh from his 'victory' over the gurkhas, our PM, gordon brown, who by his own admission saved the world in the current financial crisis, now insists that in his opinion, based on his years of military service (0.00) the british army in afghannystan is the best equipped in the world (in spite of them pesky generals who say otherwise and want more helicopters and mine resistant vehicles), is now denying compensation to soldiers wounded in action:

gordon's brigade goes from strength to strength after their friday 'victory' in a by-election (the govt. forced out an MP over the objections of his constituents for minor irregularities in his expenses, while govt. ministers with worse were allowed to stay (they supported gordon, he didn't). his 'resignation' forced an election to fill his seat - the govt. claims victory as they came in second & were expecting to do a lot worse. his 'reforms' to the expense accounts for parliament is a masterpiece of do-nothing status quo legislation, all smoke and mirrors.
meanwhile jeremy clarkson, from the BBC's top gear program (where they blow things up) who was forced to apologise to gordon for calling him a one-eyed idiot on air. ( he is blind in one eye), did so by apologizing for the reference to his visual disability. (and wording it so it was apparent he did NOT apologise for the idiot part
), was in trouble again for calling the PM a 'c*nt' off-air during a recording session for the program. i hope he runs for parliament too!
