Vivienne Westwood: 'Hillary Clinton is evil and a war mongerer'

Dame Vivienne Westwood has branded Hillary Clinton "evil" and a "war mongerer" in a scathing attack on US politics.

The world-renowned fashion designer told CNBC she believed neither Mrs Clinton nor Donald Trump would represent a positive change for America.

In just under a month the US will elect a president to replace Democrat Barack Obama who has held office for two terms.

But British businesswoman Dame Vivienne, 75, revealed she was not a fan of Obama or the two candidates vying to replace him in the White House.

In an interview to be broadcast on Thursday, she said: "To me, Hillary's evil, and I think she's a war mongerer.

"I don't expect the world to change with Hillary Clinton. I'm not pro-Trump.

"(I) would not vote for either of them ... If there's a Green person I would vote for the Green person.

"I wouldn't even pick Barack Obama over them, either".

Dame Vivienne's feelings for Prime Minister Theresa May were not much warmer either, as she accused her of being no different from her predecessors in upholding non-environmentally friendly policies.
