Praised by critics for its ’superb’ account of post-Second World War society, Andrew Marr’s A History Of Modern Britain has secured his position as not just a political commentator but also a social historian.

Yet it wasn’t his prose that had stirred up such a reaction in Erin. It was that the book described her as a terrorist sympathiser.

    Dear Erin Pizzey,

    I just learned of you today in a search for statistics as i am writing a book on self defense for women. My hat is off to you. I feel the course I have set has been better informed (and adjusted!) with what I have just learned about you in your writings, blog, and YouTube videos.

    Thank you for the very hard work you have done. Best to you in every way.
