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

I mean WTF?

I could say so much, but Brian Kellett said it first.

Part of me really hopes she gets to Somalia, because I can't wait to read what she writes about while there.

But of course the sensible part of me knows that people suffering famine need Liz Jones like a hole in the head.

MI, do you have any more gossip for us?

This is quite odd in a way:
We almost never buy a Sunday paper but an odd time DH will nip in and kind of "grab" one from the shop.
So yesterday he did happen to grab the Mail and I read the article.
I had steam coming out of my ears (had only ever heard of this Jones woman on here) - and now I know why MNers think she is a mad loon of a woman!!
How dare she!! And all that gibbering about how she isn't a burden!
I actually didn't realise such stupidity existed

she's an attention-seeking troll , that's all.

I definitely love him, PirateDinosaur! Fabulous piece, thanks for linking :)

what utter bollocks. If she's heading off to Africa to cover the famine in Somalia I'm The Queen. Firstly if she was the sort of journalist who covers these things she'd already be up to date with her jabs.... secondly if The Fail was sending her there, they'd send her round to a private doc of their own for the jabs. That's what we do here for short notice vaccinations. We regularly send journos to famine areas, and we have our own medical team to ensure all vaccinations are up to date. She's made the entire thing up so she can rant at the NHS.

She is hiding from the real world and pretending like she is gonna help out in Africa when she can not even come to grips with out wonderful NHS , who are overworked and underpaid no wonder thsy did not entertain her , shes gone private she should stick to it and not expect everyone to drop everything for her at the drop of a hat!

This blog has some rather amusing commentary on the this article.

LJ has a personal circle of hell reserved for her when she finally does shuffle off...

I'm afraid I skulked when I met her. I was there as a Minor Contributor, and roped into saying hello to her by someone fairly senior who clearly wanted a bit of backup.

She was...odd. (There's a surprise.) Asked me if I was going away for Christmas, in a not madly interested way as obviously this wasn't about HER.

The thing is, she knows how annoying she is and she plays up to it. It's tempting to think that she enjoys the abuse she gets, and on some level she probably does, but I think her loneliness and misery are very real too. She can't resist doing whatever it takes to get a rise, because any attention is better than none. Tears of a clown type stuff.

Yes, it is madly carcrashy. And I think she is one of those people (of whom there are quite a number) who only enact their lives publicly, iyswim.

AAARGH! Why do I always get sucked into reading Liz fucking Jones on MN and getting so irate, I have to flounce off and do housework or something just to calm down.

One day I'll tell you what happened when I met Jeanette Winterson at a party, MI

Wow. I think we need to identify the receptionist in question so that we can send her flowers. Presumably Liz Jones would have told the world if the receptionist had said 'Listen you self-important cowbag with a weirdly misplaced sense of entitlement travel immunisations do not count as a fucking medical emergency even if you are going abroad to do something very important. We don't triage people as 'Off to save Africa', 'Off to work' and 'Probably just going to go shopping'. We prioritise people on the basis of the symptoms they are presenting with right now and whether this means they might be really ill. The only thing wrong with you is that you a witch of the first order. Now piss off and waste someone else's time.'

GP receptionists get a bad rap on here, at least this article makes it clear what they have to put up with.

Forget vaccines, she clearly needs immediate treatment for her massively inflamed sense of entitlement.

I can only think that Africa is eternally grateful to the bossy receptionist who May Have Prevented Liz Jones From Going to The Horn of Africa!

am following @LizJonesSomalia on twitter. amusing spoof updates of her trip.

The comments for the article have mysteriously disappeared.

When you were introduced to Her Twatness was her conversation along the lines of 'Have you come far?', 'Are you going away for Christmas?', before the next peasant was presented mother?

A visit from her is just what the starving millions need. I think she's become more deranged since the face lift.

Sending a high profile anorexic and champion narcissist to Somalia. Because they know it will lead to comic ghastliness and controversy. A new low, even for the DM.

istyosty.com/tmp/cache/acc820adbc5a154e26d55d80551de9a171bbf390.htmlthis is an interesting read - it's a link to the Mail article without going to the DM website (clever!) that this travesty of a human being wrote about why she hates herself. Seemingly the therapy is supposed to have helped her but not obviously in her writing - she's still very clearly trying to avoid people liking her! And doing a sterling job of it.

I am starting to wonder if she's a spoof; I've only come across her on MN and find it hard to believe she's 'real'.

Thank fuck this twat never had kids - she would he awful.

She is always bitterly banging on about kids and mums - she really does have a big problem with the fact she never had any. Who is this 'rock star' she is seeing? Who would want to be around this bitter little woman?! She sounds like one of the least pleasant propels you could ever encounter and I get that impression from her own ramblings! She moans that she dowant have friends, I'm not bloody surprised! Stupid woman.

iPhone... People and doesn't...
