The older ones amongst us remember the fragrant Lady Isobel Barnet (*) who, having left a shop with a tin of tuna without paying for it, was so mortified by the damage that she perceived had been made to her standing in society that she committed suicide shortly after being prosecuted.
(*) Said lady was a witty and popular member of the panel on various TV shows back in the days of 405 and 625 lines (**) and monochrome TV. Smoked like a chimney but with such style.
(**) Look it up.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

Even if she claimed to have been under intense pressure at her job and it affected her mental state ?

I can't believe you are all treating this serious matter with levity. Next someone will be pointing out that Antony Worrall Thompson's name is an anagram of 'Ham roll? No, not now. Pastry!'

How have I missed this fabulous new invention?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.
