Ummm. Its white sheep, on a red background.

Perhaps she was commenting on the state of white Britain in a neo-marxist society.

Oh yeah. There it is...

I remember Christopher Hitchens describing her as being self-absorbed and entitled child. I couldn't see it through all the fawning media propaganda, but I believe it more now.

I liked Diana but she was unbelievably stupid to date Dodi Fayed.
He had a LONG record of dating high profile women and then kicking them to the curb for someone younger.

Well in this case both Diana and Dodi got kicked to the curb simultaneously.

At high speed.

Yup you are correct, whoever the perv who bought it is probably smelling the sweater, like Biden smells little girls hair.

She sent it back to the maker, Warm and Wonderful, for repairs when it was damaged.

My question is, "Did they fix it?"

There is one black sheep between the white sheep. Look at her sweater at "boob" level.

Was the sheep auctioned off or did it end up as rack of lamb?
