To think liz jones must surely be taking the piss

[Mrswhiskerson]

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 ?

Did you know that Polly Toynbee not only wrote an article, but an entire BOOK on the very same thing. www.amazon.co.uk/Hard-Work-Life-Low-pay-Britain/dp/0747564159/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1299503538&sr=8-2

'Course she's a lefty favourite so I doubt she'd get such a pasting - even though she left her "benefits" existance to quaff champagne with her husband.

I thought it would be interesting to learn LJ's opinion of the Galliano racism issue.

She doesn't have one.

Although I think that we're supposed to deduce from a v.rambling article that JG is a wrong 'un because of his use of fur in fashion.

Perhaps legal reasons prevent LJ from commenting on the charge against JG - or more likely, there could be a 'pot kettle black' scenario if she did.

So glad I'm not the only one who can't stand this woman.

I remember an article she did Christmas before last where she was complaining that she didn't have a penny to live on and 'how will I feed my animals etc etc' and some poor old lady sent her half her pension so the animals wouldn't go hungry.It makes me sick.

I would love to see her do something for comic relief for real poverty, but she is feeling sorry for herself at the moment.

She drives a BMW and spends £800 per month on grooming.

While some other poor sod waits for her to pay off her £150K debts?

How vile.

The downside is, that she will have to keep writing that drivel to pay her debts.

£800 a month for grooming is bloody ridiculous!

Liz Jones is so far up her own arse she can taste the shit she's talking, sorry I've never liked her

Bluenordic I did not realise the article was from way back just read it got pissed off and vented on mn .
I would like to know what treatments she uses so I can avoid them because whatever she is paying eight hundred pounds for definately ain't working .
I really am surprised she has a boyfriend if my dp had written something like that or any of the crap she has written I would run for the hills.
I only ever read dm when at work ,one of the service users has it delivered every week and I used to read it before discovered mumsnet.

And surely f you work in fashion you would know not to use a jet black hair dye it's pretty basic stuff considering her proffession .

She probably ate the animals and made a fur coat out of them
I have had a hard day it feels good o vent

don't begrudge her the grooming budjet, she looks like a cross between mystic meg and a melted candle in that pic

She has a full time animal nanny called Louise who lives in the nice barn conversion. Tsk, tsk, keep up at the back!

Living on benefits? Living in a skip, by the look of her in that lead picture...

She seems utterly stupid, and humourless to boot. I cannot see what the attraction is.

NunOnTheRun, thank you so much for that istyosty link. Now I can get a masochistic thrill out of being outraged peruse the Daily Mail without contributing to their hits.

...but her clothes and car are sooooo last season dahhhling........yes, she actually complains that her designer stuff is "old" and therefore we must pity her. She is a bit deranged IMHO.

She has to surround herself with animals because people can't stand her, she is a mentalist for sure

@ melpomene I didn't know about the istyosty site until Kenobi mentioned it on page 1 - yep, it's guilt free Daily Hate browsing for us from now on

Liz Jones, for example, is a twat.

Now, I think about nothing else. I have had to say, out loud, four words I have never uttered before: 'I can't afford it.'

Perhaps if she's 150000 in debt she should have said it more fucking often!

NettoSuperstar I have some name jealousy going on

I liked this par best:

Isn't the luxury goods industry clever: even (relatively) sane, intelligent women now think it is absolutely essential, their right, to spend £50 on a candle in order to 'de-stress'.

Oh I love Liz Jones. she is so incredibly sad and self obsessed, that she makes me feel so good about myself. She is priceless.

She's not real though, is she?

Like some wisewoman said earlier on this thread, she's a fictional character, her own made up bona fide fictional character.

Isn't she?

Lulumama 'she's rocking the Dickensian beggar look quite well.....' Hahahahaha! Made me laugh my tits off.

For all those expensive lotions and potions - Jaysus! She looks like Morticia's granny.

'I thought of all the times I had whizzed past a certain old lady, back bent in a dowager's hump, pulling a shopping trolley along the country road near my house that has no path, and found myself wondering why it had never occurred to me to pull alongside and see if she needed a lift.
Money puts you in a thoughtless cocoon.'

NO, Liz, it really doesn't... that's just YOU....
