While in no way wishing to detract from her achievements

That obituary is a smear job, clearly suggesting that she (of her husband) is a traitor. Nice.

She's a commie and French, that's triple plus evil.

I don't want to engage in a discussion of this, cause I don't know the facts. I saw something in the media, and I passed it on. I thought ET was a place where we clarify facts, not make them holy.

but the article, which is quite neddlessly nasty and partisan for an obituary.

Obituaries in The Independent and The Times do not go into the Barbie/Vergès/Chauvy smear. The Guardian does, in a more balanced way than The Telegraph.

Obituaries are generally by people who have some knowledge of the deceased or her/is life and times, and for that reason they are often signed. The first three linked to above are signed, the Torygraph one doesn't seem to be.
