To be in an absolute rage with Liz Jones

Is this the most trite, self-absorbed cashing-in-on-a-tragedy piece of journalism ever? words fail me

Aargh, AARGH! I don't know what's worse - that she's gone on some kind of murder tourism jaunt, or that she thinks that buying pizza constitutes a desire for a 'better life', her annoyance that Jo Yeates didn't spend her last night in a better wine bar, or that she equates her having to pay toll on the Clifton Suspension Bridge with the murder of a young woman.

...Or that she gets paid £250,000 A YEAR for this.

Or do I need to get a life and not get so aerated with the DM?

dementedma - indeed. But I love the smell of righteous indignation and impotent rage in the mornin' and I just can't stay away.

Becaroo - Noooo not Meatloaf. I've always had a leetle crush on him.

Vile woman with a vile face. She looks and acts like a Spitting Image puppet.

MamaMary · 18/01/2011 16:17

Does she earn 250,000 a year? How do we know that?

Thought she was broke?

Nancy66 · 18/01/2011 16:24

she earns more than that...

becaroo · 18/01/2011 17:34

I like Meatloaf too

BootyMum · 18/01/2011 17:36

How do people know how much she earns?

And is it Jim Kerr she is going out with?

Hate myself for being interested but have to admit to being so....

Terrible article, by the way. Are we sure it isn't a spoof???

becaroo · 18/01/2011 17:56

Jim Kerr?

Yuck. He looks like an armadillo. All brown and wrinkly.

Lara2 · 18/01/2011 19:18

How dare she moan and squinge that she has no money when she earns that!!!!!!! I think she just needs a good slap to bring her back to reality!!!!!!

Why on earth would anyone get into a relationship with her when they know it's going to be splashed in her dire column????

Articulate · 18/01/2011 19:55

I cannot believe that LJ earns good money writing the shite that she does.

I will happily write equally bad shite for HALF the money.

I think the DM are sick of hearing her bleat on about how poverty stricken she is, as she seemss to be producing an article a day, must be clearing a few of her debts.

I finally came to the conclusion that this woman was idiotic beyond words when, after bleating in her column about how hard up she was, people actually sent her money to help clear her debts.

What did she do? Thank everybody condescendingly and then send all the cash to some kind of animal sanctuary!!

I doubt the Rock Star would be Jim Kerr, there are suggestions that it's Robert Plant..I think they'd definitely be better suited!

sunray1 · 24/04/2011 20:42

So if you are so disgusted with Liz Jones then why keep reading her and then slagging her off? You heard of trolling? I thought only dumb American teenagers with too much time on youtube did it... but no... apparently British women with nothing to do all day also TROLLING. So sad.

The woman is paid to have an opinion. You are seriously telling me that if you were offered £250,000 per year to give your opinion you would say "NO thanks". Yeah, RIGHT !!!

If you don't like it...GUESS WHAT ?!.... don't read it. Doh !

timetocallitaday · 24/04/2011 20:44

Oh the irony of someone who has obviously trawled the archive to find this thread accusing others of trolling. Hi Liz Hmm

Flisspaps · 24/04/2011 20:45

Sunray1 If you're such a big fan, why resurrect a thread berating the woman that ended 3 months ago? [buconfused]

MrBloomEatsVeggies · 24/04/2011 21:30

Erm...ok.

SueSylvesterforPM · 24/04/2011 21:38

Thats really offensive to her memory

do the DM editors even look before an article is published or do they close their eyes and hope for the best? ..sure would explain alot.

frecklyspeckly · 24/04/2011 21:55

by the way Liz : re todays article :

nobody who enjoys working in a shop enjoys asking smug twats if they have a loyalty card

and when said twat then launches into' If Iwant one you will be the first to know' us poor, (solvent)
shop workers just smirk inwardly and think... TWAT'

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 24/04/2011 22:10

Shouldn't be too difficult to finally out the (alleged) rock star after today's column - Liz's that is given her implication that his no longer stands to attention on command.

Off to trawl through album covers of the likely suspects to compare footwear with tiny eyes.... while praying it won't be the flowerpot man

LaVraiVerite · 25/04/2011 00:06

I know of Liz in RL from her life in London, and know that she is magnetically attractive to men. They love her love of animals, disorganisation combined with independence, up-frontness and self-deprecation. She gets a LOT of fanmail/offers from married, separated, divorced, single GBT men ...

Go figure, I guess ...

Men like a bit of honesty, even if the detail is gross !

I don't judge her cos I find it funny that most married wimmin cant cope with the fact that someone like Liz could charm their man away from them Wink

snailsandwich · 25/04/2011 00:14

LVV - cheque in the post darling mwah mwah

DontCallMePeanut · 25/04/2011 02:53

The last article I read by Ms Jones, or the DM for that matter, was an article in which Liz Jones argued that Emma Watson's success in Hollywood was as tragic as honour killings... I kid you not

If the woman had a fucking brain cell or two, she'd be dangerous.

SueSylvesterforPM · 25/04/2011 13:10

I read that too peanut and she doesnt even have the excuse of being on crack or something,
