Zoe Williams goes private

In his new collection of articles Waiting for the Etonians Nick Cohen writes:

The left is no threat to the wealthy any longer. Being a leftist is a lifestyle choice. It carries no costs and no obligations.

You can see what he means. Here is Zoe Williams, the Guardian's most irritating columnist, today:

I went to one of those private clinics, where if you're lucky you see Charlotte Church (she had a scan every week of her first pregnancy; I think maybe she liked the smell of the ultrasound goo - and also she is incredibly rich).

I am implacably opposed to private medicine, but the minute push comes to slightly harder push, here I am, in a low-lit waiting room with tasteful pregger-art (isn't-the-female-form-marvellous! bronzes) and eerily polite receptionists.

We all have our hypocrisies, but Williams obviously expects her readers to find her actions funny and endearing.

As I asked last month, discussing Carol Thatcher and Gollygate:

Surely morality is about what one does as well as what one says?

Oh, and Williams has a habit of editing Wikipedia entries in an odd way too.
