I can't do links but it is on this is money or google can liz jones survive a week on benefits.
Surely she can't be for real ? My jaw is still dropped a day after reading ,I have never liked her but this is taking the biscuit. I half feel sorry for her because she willnever be happy and I really do think she needs help and half of me wants to find her and give her a god slap .
And how can someone be paid so much to write such utter crap ?

She's currently writing about moving to London. So I wonder where she thinks she's going to dump the animals collected? She seems totally self-centered and to have a brain the size of a pea.

PinkIsMyFavouriteCrayon · 07/03/2011 08:12

here you go I highly doubt she'll change her ways, £8.95 on toothpaste! What an idiot she is!

chandellina · 07/03/2011 08:33

heavens, that photo - i think you're still allowed to comb your hair and put a bit of slap on even if you're on benefits.

FlamingoBingo · 07/03/2011 08:38

Can't do links? You just copy and paste them and then click the little 'convert links automatically' box at the bottom of the 'add your message here' window.

Liz Jones is nuts though.

chandellina · 07/03/2011 08:44

having read the full story now, she represents such a tiny group of people who really have more money than sense that her views are almost irrelevant. It's nice she now realises how the other 99% live - who are actually better off than her since it sounds like she could well go bankrupt.

PigeonPair · 07/03/2011 08:52

She is awful, and so completely self-absorbed it drives me mad (but at least she admits it)! I have it on very good authority that this "Rock Star" she is going out with is Jim Kerr.

MsFaithless · 07/03/2011 08:58

She's an egregious harridan alright but who the fuck has a £100 per month broadband subscription?! Is that even possible?

It's not even part of her tv packageConfused

shmoz · 07/03/2011 08:59

I now have the sort of jet black hair that would be at home on the head of an old hag - you said it hag Liz

Mrswhiskerson - I'm with you re the slapping

TragicallyHip · 07/03/2011 09:01

I haven't read it yet but i'm sure it's utter crap! She looks tragic in that picture!

shmoz · 07/03/2011 09:02

PP Jim Kerr, that figures, he always had appalling taste IMO

Bumperlicious · 07/03/2011 09:48

What a patronising load of clap trap. I do not have one ounce of sympathy for her. Even us reading these articles and slating them drums up more business for the Daily Hate and encourages them to keep paying her. I wish we would all just boycott her!

NestaFiesta · 07/03/2011 09:51

Liz Jones is a spoilt self pitying arsehole who hates kids.

nethunsreject · 07/03/2011 09:54

I think she is a fictional character.

superv1xen · 07/03/2011 09:58
Shock

she sounds awful!

diddl · 07/03/2011 10:00

If that´s a pic of LJ in the article, who´s that at the top?Wink

"£8.95 on toothpaste!"-I didn´t even know that that was possible!

Lulumama · 07/03/2011 10:02

she's rocking the Dickensian beggar look quite well.....

dementedma · 07/03/2011 10:04

well, maybe she'll wake up to real life a bit now and realise how it is for most people. At least she accepts how stuid and selfish she is. i can't even afford to feed my kids fresh fish, never mind the cat!
£25 for a bottle of wine? I feel guilty if I spend over a fiver on one!

If you want to link to a DM feature but don't want to drive traffic and give them money, this website caches the features but doesn't register as a visitor to the website.

Mwah hah ha haa!

I went to an event a month ago which LJ also attended. It was February and she was wearing silver snakeskin fuck-me strappy sandals with six inch heels, her toes poking out hither and thither.

Most odd, yet she spends half her life commenting on what other people wear...

fivegomadinthelambingshed · 07/03/2011 10:22

The article was written in November 2009. She is still broke, still has the taxman chasing her, still doesn't have a clue about how to live within her means.

Wook · 07/03/2011 10:57

This woman is a total wanker, some jaw dropping silliness yesterday in the Daily Hate Mail from her too. Always entertaining though.....
Clue: never pick up the Daily Wail or the Hate Mail on Sunday and you don't have to put up with her nonsense (or any other right wing, misogynist, hate filled nonsense either)

maighdlin · 07/03/2011 11:37

she looks like a witch in the photo. she is the most self obsessed stupid person ever to have their stupid words printed.

Becaroooo · 07/03/2011 11:55

I agree with the poster who said she will never be happy....

She seems to think its ok to behave the way she does because she had her heart broken back in the day and it all went wrong from there....

Thing is, that happens to a lot of people, the differnce being that most of us learn from our experiences and move on.

She has no idea how normal people live. All she seems to care about is her animals (to the point of comparing them with having children!!!) and whether she has the "latest" bag.

Awful woman.

BibiBlocksberg · 07/03/2011 11:56

Dear god, what a load of offensive, self obsessesed crap!!!

If that's the sort of attitude the 'moneyed' have then I really really am genuinly happy I'm not rolling in it.

Oh and £800 a month on her beauty regime - didn't take long for her to start looking like a tramp without it though Shock

Bet he mother's skin looks way better on vaseline and yardley.

Harrumph!!

bluenordic · 07/03/2011 12:25

Must be slow on MN today if we need to drag up articles from 2009 to slag off!

melikalikimaka · 07/03/2011 12:43

Oh come off it, she should go to the poundshop, her hair is one colour, she could dye it herself and get a trim every 2 months. She makes herself high maintenance and am getting fed up with her bleating on about her terrible life. Has she abandoned her poor animals. The village hate her apparently so who is looking after them?
