Edwina Currie - is she 'too old' to be talking about sex?

I'm not a big fan of hers or anything, but why can't she say she finds men attractive? she's in her 60's not her 90's.

The Bushtucker trials are horrible, imo.
I have walked in the Australian bush and was told that if I bit the bottom off the ants which have green bottoms I would get plenty of Vitamin C, but that is as far as I could go!
No witchetty grubs for me, thank you.

I met Edwina Currie at a WI meeting she was talking to. I am, as some will recall, not a Conservative supporter. However I did think her talk, about the need for more women to get actively involved in politics, was very good. She carefully avoided any party politics and talked about life for women in Westminster and the institutional sexism there. She came across as someone who enjoyed life to the full and as a 'cup half full' no-nonsense kind of person. I did not dislike her and I guess we would enjoy some great debates! Agree I would not want her as my MP though, prefer someone left of centre rather than right!

I have not seen her on IAACGMOOH but am fairly confident it is all set up /edited to attract controversy and therefore viewing figures.

Oh Pen - she did such a lot for women didn't she by her affair with JM ? Just fed into the whole role of women thing - is that she meant by women getting actively involved in politics? You must have heard her views on benefit claimants, the poor - we dont need people like her in politics- mske or female.
