There should be a “dishonored” award. Sadly there are plenty of candidates.

So disheartening that she has been "honoured" in the birthday list and given a platform to spout her evil ideas.

I am appalled that she was honoured! Just another symptom of what is wrong with our present governments thinking!!

OK Ruth, what is “generalised poverty”? Todays reality, including poverty of spirit and soul.

Winstone Peter’s has been called king maker in the past for his position of power in Government’s even though he was leading a small party. Seems he’s in that position again with power to vote against his coalition partners and bring down this Government. Sadly Winstone has a supporter base of cookers and tinfoil hat people anti woke who have changed his behaviour somewhat.

Thanks Doc. She's on my list too. Abhorrent track record and dereliction of responsibility.

Oh, I understand that she is one of those who is "sorted", having enjoyed a skiing holiday in Canada. I don't begrudge anyone a holiday but an ignorant acceptance of poverty is not acceptable in this country. Woe is me that she is back on the scene!

😱 I generally don't like commenting on people's APPEARANCE, but her hateful views are reflected on her visage 🤬 The main thing this govt has learned from Ruthanasia is that you can wreck a country's economy & infrastructure in less than 3 years if you are "ruthless" enough 🥹 Don't have any time for Winnie-the-💩, but he & his MPs are notable for their lack of opposition to the harm being done to their traditional support base ⁉️

‘Grim Reaper from the Crypt’ so appropriate, love it. So obvious that Willis is her student.
