In thinking not being able to swan in for an injection cannot be compared to abuse in care

I mean WTF?

I'm wondering how this even got approved by the editor? Did it go completely unnoticed how bad this would look or do they enjoy the controversy she creates?


This really casts her in a worse light then I've seen before.

[belledechocchipcookie]

I posted a comment, my first, telling her to get a grip! I'm called erm...right (if it ever shows up). She's a silly cow.

[belledechocchipcookie]

They've removed all of the comments.

[SchrodingersMew]

I actually can't believe I just read that.

Fuming!

[PeopleCallMeTricky]

She can't really be serious though, can she?

[SkipToTheEnd]

Really? the comments were funny!

I rated a couple up. One about how it was entirely her own fault because she knew when she was travelling, she knew when she needed the jabs by and she left it late so it wasn't the surgeries fault and another one calling her a dozy mare :)

I cannot believe no one anticipated people taking this one badly!

[diddl]

So the fact that her private GP couldn´t accomodate her makes it the fault of the NHS?

Well,it´s all bollocks-she can´t really only have 2 therapists

[belledechocchipcookie]

It's typical of the Mail though, inflammatory and ignorant.

[DaisySteiner]

That article is brilliant. Funniest thing I've read since Caroline-whatserface got struck by the freak tornado.

[PeopleCallMeTricky]

at the self importance of the woman. Of course if THE GREAT LIZ JONES, investigative journalist (not just a ranting columnist, you understand) doesn't report on the famine, due to the NHS jobsworths, it won't be reported on at all, will it?

[Columbia999]

How did this bigoted cow ever get a job as a journalist in the first place? She's a complete moron. How DARE she slate the entire NHS just because they refused to drop everything to agree to her demands? I've moaned about dragon-like receptionists before, but hats off to the one in this case!

[Mrsxstitch]

Sad thing is I have come accross this attitude before. I have been accused of ruining someone's longed for trip when I don't have a vaccination or malarial tablet available 20min before they have to leave for the airport.

[thursday]

she's unreal. she's just tagged on a bit about care homes to disguise what is blatantly just a tantrum about not getting her own way, trying to make it more worthy than 'wahhhh, i wanted something and i couldnt click my fingers and get it!!!'

and poor Somalia, havent they suffered enough with famines and wars and FGM without sending that twat over there?

[Columbia999]

Comments are back on, steam in!

[scottishmummy]

she blames her poor planning and inability to rioritise on gp practice
shes loaded could have gone to private walk in surgery. but probably didnt want to cough up the money

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

She always makes an utter fool of herself Apocalypse but her antics are never funny as the woman is a twat of the first water.

What is it with the Fail and Jones? It's incomprehensible that she should be allowed so many column inches to spout her mindless drivel on every subject under the sun, let alone be paid sackloads of dosh for such puerile tripe.

[motherinferior]

I met her at the Fail Christmas party last year.

Be afraid, be very afraid....

[izzywhizzyletsgetbusy]

The comments on the twat's article should provide a rich seam of laughter later. Here's one from Oz:

"Funny how the Mail slags off the BBC for sending its big names to report on crises in countries they know nothing of, but is now sending Liz Jones - expert in cosmetic surgery and spending money like water - to report on famine in Somalia."

So, mother, you had the privilege of meeting the witch before her facelift What's the lowdown?

Why is she exalted by the Fail? She doesn't have the political nous of a cockroach so it can't be because she knows where the bodies are buried, can it?

Strictly between you and me, of course

[Sidge]

She's an absolute twat.

I'm a practice nurse. We don't run a drop in service.

Anyway yellow fever vaccine has to be given at least 10 days before travel or the certificate isn't valid, so hers wouldn't have been as she only had it the day before.

All other vaccines may or may not have been in stock, and would have required a pre-travel assessment which can take 20-30 mins. Malaria tablets have to be started between 1 and 7 days before travel (depending which type you have).

If someone turned up at our surgery asking for all that lot the day before travel I'd have politely directed them to the nearest private travel clinic.


Oh and to make the link between a surgery not offering an on-the-spot travel health consultation and the abuse at Castlebeck is just vile

[PeopleCallMeTricky]

Just made a resolution: this is the last time I give the mail website any hits. I'm not going to line their pockets by boosting advertising revenue any more

[maighdlin]

there is a special circle in hell for liz jones types. what an utter dickhead. apart from her whole "liz jonesness" has she ever heard of a travel clinic? dedicated clinics that just do travel medicine then she could have waved her borrowed money in their faces and got exactly what she wanted. i just can't understand her at all. she is everything that is wrong in the world.

Brian Kellett's blog response. I think I love him.
