Trouble at Mills

Clearly, the glare of publicity and attention she received from being on our relaunch cover just wasn’t enough for Heather Mills. No sooner had Disability Now hit the newsstands, than she hit the Street of Shame.

It sure looks as though she’s way better at turning herself into a target than anyone else is at making her one, even when she’s not intending to, which is probably almost all of the time. In our piece, for example, she told us: “I have 22 close friends.”

Hmm, just too many to cook dinner for, but not enough to make a party. Heat magazine picked that one up and were doubtless mighty proud. But woah there! If they thought 22 friends was weird, they should have hung on.

She was the new Kate McCann, the new Diana. And all this before she revealed that Macca is more attached to his wallet than she is to her 22 close friends, that her own and her daughter’s lives have been threatened, and that Sir P and daughter Stella “chortled” over Lady H’s prosthetic leg. If so then we curse them for it, but, it has to be said, you have to work pretty hard as a disabled person to alienate yourself from your own community. Sadly, Lady M-M appears to have managed it.
