Not Quite Right

This woman's basic theme was that anyone who wasn't English was damned. No dark-skinned or otherwise mongrel person should be allowed in this country and we needn't even think we were going to heaven because places there were strictly reserved for the pure-blooded. All this in the tone of an irritated schoolteacher talking to a bunch of particularly stupid children. The effect was both compelling and chilling. I took lots of pictures trying to get a sense of her. This is the nearest I got.

This lady's name is Diane, and you've described her views and caught her to a T!

Cracking shot and she doesn't look nasty, more like a nice granny. Very Happy

Ah yes - as Flanders and Swann sang 'the English, the English, the English are best. I would'nt give tuppence for all of the rest' - did'nt sound quite as scary when they said it though! Rolling Eyes

Another lovely shot Eileen. It's almsot as if she's waiting for you to speak to give her ammunition!

krennon - Without the infomation given by Eileen and just going on the photo, I don't think you would know she was a nasty person. Very Happy
