Quite true. It's astounding the way she's being vilified more than Walcott ever was (note the past tense). I happen to think certain crimes are worse than others. Stupidly saying certain things to certain journalists is far lighter than being sexually violent towards other human beings. But you know, Padel isn't a "great" poet -- she probably has normal standards of behaviour to live up to. :/ “Instead, now Walcott is wronged hero, Padel is humiliated vamp, and all the real issues can go right back where they belong — under those university carpets.”
