I was delighted when I heard that Jeremy Paxman was interviewing her. He is one of our harshest and most astute political interviewers. He's edged high level politicians into damning admissions and is well known for taking no shit. He bites and he holds.
How disappointed was I? He simply could not believe that the person in front of him was capable of the views espoused in the book she was promoting. So he wasted his questions in bemused disbelief - "Do you really mean it when you say...?" To which her answer was always, Yes, or I wouldn't have written it."
Cultural differences.
