And I'm a huge believer in the Freedom of Information Act. One of the most disobliging photographs ever taken of me is with carrying a banner for the Freedom of Information Act in Trafalgar Square. Well, there are demos and demos, aren’t there? The only... the most recent one was one to try... a local one, I live in Camden, and they were trying to stop our GP practices and turn them all into polyclinics which are lousy for the old because all old people have a lot of things wrong with them and only somebody who knows them well can spot when this one matters, as opposed to all the others which are chronic.

And there we were, gathered under the statue of Camden at the Mornington Crescent end of Camden Town. You know, that statue of Camden with... always has a pigeon on its head? And we had huge t-shirts over our coats and we were carrying banners saying 'Keep NHS private... public'. Sorry. Awful slip. Can you cut that out? And a policeman appeared, I said, 'Well you’re not going to get much trouble from this lot, are you?' He said, 'We’re here to stop you getting run over'. And we went down the inner lane very slowly because only the first bit was one where we were going to see a lot... a lot of people were going to see us. And there was a policeman saying, 'Shuffle along, ladies'.

So there we are, that’s the... nowadays, you see, I'm not so much crusading for women, I'm on the side of 'the aged'. They are my parish, as it were. And you know, they can demonstrate too.
