Courtesy of today's Evening Standard (two thirds of the way down the article):
Trudie Styler is berated in the press for accepting an invitation to guest-edit The Big Issue [a magazine run for the benefit of homeless people]. Her offence is to own six homes.... Why on earth should Styler be homeless to edit it? The presenters of Crimewatch are not required to be murderers. The sneering at the altruistic rich is hopelessly self-defeating.
Didn't the author mean; "The presenters of Crimewatch are not required to be victims of crime"?
