3: Julie Burchill
' I like the verve, the way she writes. Very strong - short and tart - a critic of " modern trends ".
Enormous reputation in the pop music world, now moving towards politics. Formulating an anti-liberal stance. Bring back capital punishment. So young. She looks a hard little punkess - she is. Sure as eggs is eggs, for a loose-toothed ex-semi-teddy boy like me. I was bound to get my wrist slapped....'
Producer JOY HATWOOD
