Still she did an awful lot for AIDS and personally, I found that touching and much-needed at the time.

OMG....I just came in this thread to nominate her as well.

But - But those voices within his wee-little brain have become agitated {yet again} and despite his acknowledging LordFouls post and repeated post about:

MARVELOUS---no wonder troll#1 has ignored your directive to stop saying: my gender is wrong - that my avater is wrong because YOU reinforce those voices within his head and now have encouraged him to just KEEP IT GOING---

Great post Syl.
Diana wasn't perfect, no one is, but she did an awful lot of good. She never should have died the way she did.

And the car that hit her car (if this story is to be believed) which was 'proven' to be a White Fiat was not found till ages after....and even then not conclusively??
A normal hit and run car would have been found efficiently, yet the car which wiped out 3 people, including the most popular woman in the world, badly maiming a fourth person, and generating more publicity than any other RTA in living history.....tootled off undetected.

It's for the celebration of women, not for running any of them down.

Yes, she made mistakes in thinking that the EU leaders would see the refugees problem as a humatitarian problem and take their fare share. How wrong she was.

Shameful.
