A splendid piece from The Guardian about lazy journalism and raging hypocrisy.
To see the Mail gasping at Mantel's suggestion that the duchess is “designed to breed” when it has been on “bump watch” since she walked down the aisle is the Fleet Street reenactment of Captain Renault in Casablanca proclaiming himself to be “shocked to find gambling is going on here” while collecting his winnings. It then added helpfully that Mantel is “infertile” and “dreams of being thin”. Yeah, no wonder she's jealous of our Kate, the fat childless cow.
