Off topic a but but......a good friend of mine restored a large Victorian garden in Saffron Walden (near where Ms Greer lives apparently), and despite the fact he was past retirement age when he started he did a magnificent job.
He got the local probation service to provide him with labour via people who were sentenced to community service and apparently gave several of them a love of garden by involving them in his project.
When it was finished he was summoned to Buck house to be given an O.B.E for his efforts.
Not long after he was asked if he would give Germaine a guided tour of the gardens and explain what he had done.
The whole way around the tour he said she was absolutely vile. "why the F*** did you do it like that you stupid c*** ?
Are you f****** retarded you f****** moron, blah blah blah.
A year or so later he was in the restaurant at a local theatre and asked why it seemed very busy that night.
Someone said "Germaine Greer is giving a talk tonight".
He replied " you would have to be mad to pay money hear that vile woman speak".
Woman at the next table leans over and says to him "your not a fan of my sister then".
