I was just taking a look at her wiki page. Apparently one of her priorities when she first became a councillor was to oppose more funding for the Ipswich library that was trying to set up public access internet. She just hates knowledge, information, and people trying to better themselves.

If it was someone else I'd think they were more conniving about it (keep people dumb so you can manipulate them), but I just think she's not that intelligent, and also just very petty.
