No-one in the world would seriously wear those, would they? Must be something she’s doing for Comic Relief!
Eileen Kinnear – she is actually a very good councillor for the constituency she serves. She is active, available and tuned into the needs of a very special place. If she has fallen out with her group – well that happens. And if she chooses spectacles that seem on the big side – so what. Oh, by the way, nice name Rubie…
“She is active, available and tuned into the needs of a very special place.”
