Rantzen showed her true colours in the truly depressing discussion about staff having to work for nothing in a recession. Her pat answer - to paraphrase: "times are tough, it's brave for people to make such a sacrifice, etc etc" - was no different from those of the mainstream politicians on the panel and pointed her up as just as out of touch, callous and clueless as they.
It's come to something when you find yourself cheering Polly Toynbee on for injecting some (relative) realism and radicalism into a discussion.
