Dame Vivienne and idiocy

“Before we have had class war, rich against poor. You know what the division is now? It’s idiots against eco-warriors. That’s it.
Dame Vivenne Westwood on the division between people who believe in climate change and those who don’t
(interview in the WSJ on September 16)

"The 71-year-old combined the shortest of shorts with clumpy platforms, chunky socks, a sequinned hat and a ragged T-shirt proclaiming “climate revolution”.
If that wasn’t bizarre enough, she topped it all off by drawing a crude moustache and monacle on her face with black marker pen – and at one point had what appeared to be a leather whip in her mouth.

PS 
In her WSJ interview Dame Vivienne also had this encouraging message to people who plan to have children: 
“Please consider if you want to have children. Do you want to bring them into a world in which 80% of people are going to die?…Within one generation we could see mass extinction. We’ve already started.”

She's not much dafter than many a climate scientist.
