Yes, not at all convinced he's pulling the strings but she appears to me to seek his approval. Perhaps her spite in humiliating them by making it national news that she was eating out of bins and flogging lightbulbs whilst they had the means to feed her and her son is more directed towards her mother. Dammit I want an army of psychologists all over that family!
I know a Bena, Davina, Alvine and Davidina all named after their dads, all from the North of Scotland. Its a bit of a thing up here. I'm not sure if it's sexist as such but I do think it's a bit egotistical nowadays. Most people see it as traditional or as a way to keep old family names alive.Quite common in the north Highlands as well, I know a Hugheen and a Donalda about the same age as Nigella.
I'm still catching up but had to take a break from Hack. It's sickening that she can profit from poverty like a true blue tory and people either wilfully ignore that or just don't see it. How can they not see it?
