But I made the mistake of trying to remind myself of what she's done to annoy me so much, so did a search. Unfortunately, I found this article, which is one of the most sexist things I've read in a long time. Clearly the writer thinks Linda Papadopoulos is too pretty and her website is too pink for her to be a serious academic. Damn it, she's a woman! He even - shamefully, given his name - makes a hilarious mistake in spelling her name. Oh my sides!
Read her website, you moron:
She earned her B.A. (with honors) in psychology from York University in Toronto, Canada, an MSc in health psychology from the University of Surrey and a Ph.D. in psychology from City University in London....
An accomplished academic psychologist, Dr. Linda is published widely in peer-reviewed academic journals on counseling and medical psychology, and she is often invited to give specialist lectures at universities and medical schools in England and throughout the world. Founder and director of the successful Programme in Counselling Psychology at the London Metropolitan University, Dr. Linda was appointed Reader in psychology in 2001 - a great distinction for such a young ageThat all sounds pretty impressive to me.
Although almost anything is good reason to criticise Jacqui Smith, this simply isn't. It feels horrible that I share any views with this man.
To make this comment on the Telegraph's website, I'd have to register with the Telegraph. Readers, should I?

Readers, I tried to register, to spoil a good story with a few facts. But honestly, registering with the Telegraph is slightly more invasive than becoming a scientologist. So many questions! Can't be arsed. The tories will have to survive without my critical input. Hohum.
Readers, I bit the bullet and signed up and commented. You can now read my comment under the name Red on the link.
