What's to like

Emma Freud discussing the dislikes of her father Sir Clement Freud, in a very funny online chat on Rupert Murdoch's The Times. Clement Freud's son married one of Murdoch's daughters.


However surely the last is pertinent to everyone, not just to Murdoch.

Clement Freud was also Lucian Freud's brother, who is one of my favourite artists see here for works. Emma Freud once many years ago accidentally sat on my hand in Edinburgh, which was most enlightening, I once wrote an essay on Sigmund Freud, and whilst I am cognisant of the arguments against the elder Freud, still think he made an outstanding contribution in his time. I have read an Esther Freud book. That is the extent of my very limited connections to the Freud family.
