Georgina Baillie of Sachsgate fame has given many interviews over the last week, including to this newspaper. I’m sure she’s relieved to be finally given the platform to tell her story, which is, from every angle of a paparazzi lens, salutary.

Shame on all of us. Marina Hyde wrote a mea culpa in The Guardian a few days ago regretting the dismissive tone in which she and most media pundits treated the roundly slut-shamed Baillie back in the day.
