Edwina Currie is currently giving benefits advice on BBC radio... Has the world gone mad...?

Hmm disgruntled let me think about that for one second.

Maybe her rather sweeping statement about "Northerners dying of ignorance and chips" spring to mind, or maybe her advice to pensioners struggling to survive a winter should be putting on a pair of long johns.

Or my personal favourite as health minister she advised that Christians don't get AIDS!!

At the very time she was suggesting that men should take their wives on business trips to prevent them having affairs and that young people should resist temptation and limit their sexual activities to holding hands - she was bonking John Major!

The women is stark raving bonkers, her views are ill reached, controversial and yes she does have a long history of abusing some of the most vulnerable in society. A case of spouting do as I say not as I do!!

And yet - we will still have right wingers complaining that the BBC is leftist!

Dear Edwina gave the keys to Broadmoor to Sir J.Savile so her sanity has been in doubt for quite some time now.

Has the BBC gone mad?

Nope, Cameron and chums just had it funded by the US State Dept. on the sly last year, so it is not really the BBC anymore, it is just Fox in RP with local weather reports these days.

I used to have egg and milk as a child (to build me up) Mother let me have one of the six eggs a week ,allowed on ration. Then later a raw egg was good as an hair tonic.

Now I have come full circle only allowed 3 a week because of Cholesterol.! One remembers Edwina.

There was a scare about raw eggs in the 1980s I don't know anything about disabled or other things the asker speaks about ? Perhaps dear Edwina is a good person misunderstood.?

Sounds like the BBC are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Currie giving advice is a bit rich.

I'm not sure what she was on (station wise). She got in a bit of bother after making a woman cry, by asking her if she had any pets (the pet dog was a luxury the family could do without).

I take it her "advice" was more of her usual patronising guff, effectively saying "belt up" and "sod off"? Did she suggest eating the family dog this time?

She's a maddeningly daft old boot, who should stick to keeping her fatuous gob shut.

Agreed. Watch the complaints flood in now....... " when I'm being attentive to the wi-fi the last thing I want to supply ear to is a homosexual actor flashing his bits for one and all to listen to. Disgraceful behaviour, it ruined my listening pleasure. Kids as young as 21 might have heard it. A horrendous waste of my license price." - Outraged, Hants.

The whole world is mad, it's run by the rich and those most undeserving of the power. Edwina Curry is annoying as phuck........!

No different than getting advice off the millionaire Ed milliband or the economics genius Ed Balls

Her caring response to the fact that huge numbers of pensioners were dying of hypothermia because they couldn't afford to heat their homes was to encourage them to go to their local market, buy cheap wool and knit themselves jumpers.

What next..? Sir Fred the shred Goodwin gives out money advice,.....Boris to give us hairdressing advice !! crazy
