New page

The opinion columnist for the [[Ankh-Morpork Times]]. The prime quality for such a job is that the person expressing an opinion should be (i) opinionated and (ii) prolific. Consistency, while desirable, is not mandatory.

Miss Tilly fills the bill admirably, in that she is firmly of the opinion that the world has gone to the dogs since she was young, and that all young people should be regularly horsewhipped just to teach 'em for being so offensively and provocatively young. As "young people" covers just about everybody else, from her specialised and elderly pint of view, she is therefore not short of material for a provocative weekly column that never fails to stir response in the letters' column.
