Thought it was very typical DM

As was this reply.
She did blog about the detail of her working life and job.
She explained why she felt strongly enough about it to strike.
She didn't complain about the 4 week summer break when studying - a minor detail I agree would have been best left out.
She hasn't complained at the response either, indeed the OP seemed to expect it.

You selected one small detail that had nothing to do with the dispute, fixated on that and ignored the rest .... But hey, that's OK 'cos it's her fault for giving you the chance.

Sounds very typical Daily Mail to me ....
