Cos I was unreasonable enough to have DD when I was 35.
and I'm a bit middle class too.

The feeling is mutual, you hateful witch.

Is she a joke? Why would any woman run other women down just because they can? I am far from being a rampant feminist, but surely she's not real?

(Apologies for ignorance, I've lived outside of the UK for several years, the DM wasn't high on my list of purchasing priorities)

misscomanche · 27/01/2013 11:38

Usually I take Liz Jones with a hefty pinch of salt as she is clearly distorted in her thinking. But this is just offensive. How on earth did anyone clear this for publishing?? And the random piece about her animals, wtf?
I should not be letting this woman wind me up on such a nice sunny Sunday morning, but she has really taken the Biscuit this time.

Nishky · 27/01/2013 11:40

She is not even consistent - at the start of the piece she says that women use babies to have years off, then later says that go back after a year!

Make your mind up love.

LadyBeagleEyes · 27/01/2013 11:42

What a ridiculous, disjointed article.
Not just the older Mums thing, but the way she talks about her own mother, other columnists and a chicken on chemo.
I swear she's getting loonier by the day.Grin
Oh, and I'm a proud non middle class mum that had ds at 39. He 17 now and utterly fab, and I'm still healthy.

There is something wrong with a person that prefers her pony to any readers. Spiteful *. Had never heard of her before. Will certainly never be reading her work again.

HoHoHoNoYouDont · 27/01/2013 11:43

I take it from her adoption comment she doesn't have kids? Best kept that way then, lord knows what skewed views of the world she would give a child. Stick to your ponies luv.

RobinSparkles · 27/01/2013 11:44

Does that mean that she lurves me? I had both my DC in my twenties. Oh I feel sooo lucky Hmm.

I don't even know who she is! Is she the one who got the hideous horse tattoo right on her arm?

WidowWadman · 27/01/2013 11:45

Obvious troll is obvious. She's paid to get people to click and get annoyed getting more people to click and get annoyed.

RobinSparkles · 27/01/2013 11:46

Pfft, I just googled her and her profile came up with her D.O.B: 1919 aged 94! :o

Jengnr · 27/01/2013 11:46

If you have lady parts she hates you. Regardless of what you do with them.

AKissIsNotAContract · 27/01/2013 11:48

Does anyone know how much the Daily Mail makes every time their web page is clicked on? If you really hate this drivel, stop clicking on it and making them money.

Tailtwister · 27/01/2013 11:49

She's such a waste of space, I don't know why people read her stuff tbh. She's so boring and predictable, unable to deviate from her formula of hateful drivel.

RobinSparkles · 27/01/2013 11:49

So, she'll still hate me then? Gutted! :(

HoHoHoNoYouDont · 27/01/2013 11:49

Robin. I got that too but then found her real page!

Listening to Aung Su Kyii on Desert Island Discs. This woman has more grace and intelligence in her little toe than the brain free zone of LJ will ever have.

Wishfulmakeupping · 27/01/2013 11:51

She's right in her own words she is bitter.
Jealous cow, think I'd be more worried if she had something positive to say

Notmadeofrib · 27/01/2013 11:53

Ignore.... that would be the best way to deal with such attention seeking

MacaroniSaysShetlandPony · 27/01/2013 11:55

Looks fairly desperate article to me - and made me laugh lots. You know she's laughing at all the outraged over-30s handwringing, don't you? We value free speech in the UK - even from Liz Jones...

openerofjars · 27/01/2013 11:59

Gawd, she's clearly not well, is she, poor woman.

And poor chicken. I hope it pulls through.

Do you think she actually writes/types this stuff or just screams dictates it to an assistant who then submits it verbatim?

Bottleoffish · 27/01/2013 12:02

She is dreadful. Are her journalistic talents so poor that this is the best subject for an article she can come up with?! Why would anyone care about her opinion anyway?

Plus, isn't she the sperm stealer and why is it ok for her to be a first time Mum at 40,(which she would have been if she were accepted for adoption, but not anyone else?!

She looks much older than she is, she hasn't aged well at all, must be all that bitterness she speaks of...

prozacbear · 27/01/2013 12:03

opernerofjars: Screams it to an assistant. While drinking warm pinot from the bottle at 3pm in the afternoon, and googling chicken chemotherapy.

She must love me: I had my child at 22 and am an ethnic minority (I imagine that gets extra Liz Jones Points, right??). Unfortunately, the feeling is far, far less than mutual.

What a twunt.

Catchingmockingbirds · 27/01/2013 12:10

Nearly half of all babies are now born to women over the age of 30.

So more than half of all babies are born to women under 30? What's the big deal, I don't understand why that's newsworthy.

catkitson · 27/01/2013 12:11

Gosh she is pitiful isn't she! There is no point taking any of that bitter outpouring to heart. She really sounds very lonely and not at all at peace with her choices in life. Why not invite her for a mumsnet webchat? If anyone could sort her out, it would be you lot!

TandB · 27/01/2013 12:11

I find her bizarre. Her articles seem to be increasingly random and rambling. Why the sudden digression into animal welfare at the end of the article?

She has nothing interesting to say and lacks the skill to say it anyway!

complexnumber · 27/01/2013 12:13

Surely she just being deliberately provocative, she's a hack on the DM, that's what they do.

I certainly wouldn't give her the satisfaction of being taken serously.
