Big Brother and Normative Ethics

I have always found this 'personality' particularly repellant. Much is made of her motherhood, caring for babies, yet she makes her 'living' (no apologies for scare quotes) mocking the afflicted. This may be a reflection on the moraliy of my parents, brought up in the war years, or even upon my grandmother who lived through the aftermath of the great war, but as a small boy I was always told 'Do not mock the afflicted.' I was never told 'they have enough trouble anyway', but it was taken as read. To profit from the social ineptitude of one's fellow beings is either some kind of Nietschean triumph, or a piece of manipulative malpractice of the most loathsome kind. I leave you to decide.
