I am concerned that the last wishes of Miss Edwards have been overturned as a result of media bullying.
Indeed it is unclear whether the bequest can be passed onto the Treasury in such a casual way - it was left to the political party of the day, and if this is refused it must be returned to Miss Edwards's estate and reallocated according to the established legal formula.
And I would like the bullies who have been so active on Twitter and elsewhere in the media to be recorded and brought to account. Perhaps the Leveson Inquiry should be reconvened and ask Michael Crick and Polly Toynbee and Tom Watson to give evidence. What they have done to the memory of the late Miss Edwards is despicable - she should be cherished as a wise and kindly benefactor not traduced as some kind of old biddy (spinster indeed!) who has lost her marbles.
Perhaps in her later years she was an avid watcher of Prime Minister's Questions (there are such people) and in a rush of sympathy decided that the poor besieged premier of the day (whoever he or she might be) should have some small monetary consolation for the impudent barbs they have to endure.
