So for extra security in the area.

Yeah, she was.

I mean, her initial public persona was this stern, formidable conservative politician with very right-wing views on things like immigration, on social issues, as opposed to abortion.

She thought that one day there might be a treatment for being gay, for example.

So someone who had very, very, by British standards, socially conservative views.

And then, interestingly, she sort of reinvented herself from being this formidable, stern aunt figure to almost a national treasure because of her participation in Strictly Come Dancing, where I think one of the judges compared her to a Dalek in drag.

But she showed she was game for a laugh.

She was a terrible dancer, but she formed this great relationship with her partner, Anton Tubek.

And from that, it was a springboard to having a broader media career.

So she presented things like, have I got news for you?

She could laugh at herself, though, as you say, there will be some people who found her views very retrograde or insulting or whatever.

Yeah, I mean, that's a good point.

I don't think anyone would contest Nigel Farage's claim that he is the most targeted and vilified and threatened politician in Britain.

has a permanent security presence with him at all times.

But he's not so far suggested that there's a link between the security he needs and what happened in the tragic case around Widdicombe.

I think partly because the police haven't made that connection either.

Well, I think a lot depends really on how the police investigation develops over the coming days and whether this is indeed linked to any sort of political motive.
