Children Often Have A Much Stronger Concept

I Dislike The Word 'victim.' I Dislike Being Told That I 'lost' My Husband - As If I Had Idly Abandoned You By The Side Of The Railway Track Like An Unwanted Pair Of Old Shoes.

I Like Stirring The Pot - I Think It's Part Of My Duty, To Shake People Up A Bit - Make Them Look At Things In A Different Way.

I Was Born In A Small Suburb Of Ilford In A Rather Nasty Housing Estate That My Mother Despised. She Had Grown Up In The Country, So When The War Came And I Was Evacuated To Wales She Thought I Was Much Better Off There.

I Am Not A Victim. I Am An Angry Survivor.

I Wanted To Be A War Reporter - Scrabbling Around, Exposing Things. I Didn't Want To Go To University, I Wanted To Get A Job, But Auntie Beryl Said I Should Go To Oxford.
