No, she's doing it because she can't say "No" to her Son. and her Son
obviously has her under his thumb and controls her instead of her controling
him!

Anyone who is stupid enough to pay �1000, on demand of her Son, for a
product that will be a couple of hundred quid in a few weeks time, is either
an idiot or has a seriously poor relationship with her son, so much so that
she is willing to pay *anything* to buy her Son's "love"!!!

Sad
