Glass houses, stones etc.<\/p>\n<p>So as well as the question (parts A, B and C), here&#8217;s a little message&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Kate, for a neglectful parent you&#8217;ve had far more favourable coverage in the world&#8217;s media than you deserve.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s now time for you to shut your mouth and let your brain do some work.
