With all credit to merlotgran, who has asked Widders a question for today's visit, do you have a favourite battleaxe?

Mine have been Janet Street Porter and Germaine Greer in the past, but both have mellowed and don't have that same 'bite' in their challenges any more. Bea Campbell likewise. Are they all going soft?

I too say Betty but I did like MO Mowlem (is that correct spelling). Today's battle axes such as Harriet Harmen, the Eagles sisters etc., all lack credability. Is there a good honest battle axe today, I don't think so.

I don't like the term but surely Nora Batty takes the prize?
