Sorry for the delay in replying, Virgin Media fell over in the local area just after your response was posted.
Yes, I was paraphrasing as I wasn't going to go bank approximately a week & get the exact quote, when it was possible to present the gist of her comment without doing so.
Whilst not exactly in the same league as the insults when was flinging at other campmates, the remark fits in well with other statements she has made, to the effect that other's opinions don't count, either due to her having an IQ of 154 or because of her exalted/grand social position (she then had the temerity to state that the Brits are obsessed with class, after exiting the camp).
I'm afraid that age & wisdom do not automatically go together; my old Staff Sergeant, who wasn't far off retirement, was too dim to see that t wasn't that clever an idea to state that women should be chained to the sink & only released to have babes, when virtually all of his detachment was composed of female soldiers.
Nor are a high IQ and an elevated status within wider society entitle you to automatically assume that the views of others are of no value, when compared to your own & that everyone else should therefore keep their mouths shut & do as they are told.
