I couldn't read that letter without doing it in his voice, so only made it halfway through the first para. What was the gist of it?

I just try to imagine what she has to do to breathe and get through each day now. How many people do we know who gave birth to 3 children who all died of sickness and malnutrition? Nobody actually seems to feel human respect for this major loss she has suffered. The question of 'who supplied the sperm' and under what cicumstances seems to be most relevant to demonising her.

Obviously a bit of a psychopath though isn't she?

Couldn't she do then just buy a passport from the Government? That's how it works for the rich, isn't it?
