A few years ago, as the blood-soaked Sisi military regime was killing and arresting Egyptians, Jim Mora’s light chat show gave it the once-over-lightly. One of the panelists, Rosemary McLeod had obviously not done much or indeed any reading about the situation, but that did not stop her from sniffing contemptuously and proclaiming: “Those people don’t WANT democracy!”
McLeod has largely been absent from The Panel since then. She now sounds like she is on death’s door, but it hasn’t made her a whit more thoughtful.
At 4:20 p.m. today (Dec. 18, 2018) it wasn’t the mass killing of Egyptian civilians but Brexit that received the once-over-lightly treatment. To be fair, one person in the discussion, Gary McCormick ,seemed to have actually read something about this topic and had obviously thought about it; he said something worth listening to.
On the other hand, this was Rosemary McLeod’s contribution:
“…but I do admire Theresa May. She’s an extraordinary woman, with nice legs.”
Fifteen minutes later, her “Soapbox” contribution was a long chat about Melania Trump changing her hair colour.
