I strongly disagree.
I didn't like her, I didn't like what she represented but I can't fault her for making the most of an opportunity, nor can I fault her for doing the best she could for her sons ... she recognised she was uneducated and was determined her sons wouldn't be the same and she has also done a lot to promote cervical scans in woman particularly those from her social class. You can argue whether any of that is good or whether what she represented was good but I don't think you can fault her ... what would you have her do? Admit she's too thick to be a star and step aside?
The blame, IMO, lies fairly and squarely with the media agencies that promoted her and such promotion is typical in the tabloid media of today.
