British mannequin makers are in uproar after novelist Hilary Mantel controversially described Britain’s shop window dummies as “having no personalities of their own” and looking as plastic as the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton.
Mantel, 60, said high street mannequins appear too “machine-made” with “perfect plastic smiles” whose only point and purpose – like Prince William’s wife – is to be “a jointed doll on which certain rags are hung”.
However Prime Minister David Cameron – speaking during a trip to India – defended Britain’s shop mannequins describing them as “engaging and fantastic ambassadors for Britain”, saying author Hilary Mantel was “completely wrong” to compare them to something as bland and plastic as the Duchess of Cambridge.

Much more disturbing is the daily mail assertion that wills married kate because she resembled his nanny Tiggy legge bourke . She doesn’t but as you know the faily mail makes up stuff.
Oddly enough I wonder if the daily heil is coming to its senses at last as it reports 700 ppl applying for one job. So they are not all benefit scroungers then or will they still try and beat that drum after contradicting itself.
