To think this is a vile attitude?

Plus what the hell is she teaching her children? Once you're bored just get rid/replace?

Sorry for the Daily Fail link!

Liz Jones may be out of her mind but I don't think she'd do this to an animal.

Also, Liz Jones occasionally writes really interesting and insightful things about fashion.

This woman is just... really awful.

Are you allowed to call someone a wonky-faced attention whore on here? Is that, like, feminist?

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 28/08/2015 00:42

I agree. She writes some vile stuff which is open to criticism but I think the comments on her looks are inappropriate. FFS take the high road, people!

PlopTheBarn0wl · 28/08/2015 00:48

Well if that article isn't goady click bait then I don't know what is.

The woman is clearly an idiot.

Why is this story worthy of being published on a news site (like 90% of DM stories Hmm)? And why can't she write very well!? It reads like a young teen doing a writing assignment for English class.

shadowfax07 · 28/08/2015 00:51

Even her daughter knows better...

Busyworkingmum71 · 28/08/2015 01:13

She mentions she lives a on a farm in Devon. Anyone known where? I too live on a farm in Devon with my lovely, home-for-life dogs. I would luuurve to bump into her.

With my land rover.

DarthVadersTailor · 28/08/2015 01:22

But then wonky faced attention whore is just too good a description to let go off....

DontStopBelievin · 28/08/2015 01:25

I bet you're a beautiful oil painting yourself, aren't you Darthvader?

Oh, and it's of, not off.

DarthVadersTailor · 28/08/2015 01:34

I am thank you DontStopBelievin Grin

Topseyt · 28/08/2015 01:46

It is a vile attitude from a "journalist" whose only aim in life is to provoke a reaction. Any reaction, at any cost.

I can't stick the DM, and she is one of the reasons.

Did she buy her farm in Devon from Liz Jones when she sold her one in Dulverton?

DontStopBelievin · 28/08/2015 01:59

Disagree with her opinions all you like, but picking on appearance is just downright nasty and nothing to do with her views.
I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone shouted down anything you had to say by bypassing their words and just focussing on any physical flaws or imperfections you may have.

Bulbasaur · 28/08/2015 03:12

I think the looks are fair game. She's judging dogs based on looks, not cute = get rid. Also, it shows that she really does have nothing going for her. Ugly face, ugly personality.

Maybe attention whoring is all she really has. Angry

Arsenic · 28/08/2015 03:19

Why hasn't her husband got rid of her yet? :D

Perhaps he needs encouragement.

I'd rehome him Smile

Strokethefurrywall · 28/08/2015 03:51

Whilst on the subject of dogs, I can't believe anyone mated with that bitch frankly.

And that has nothing to do with her looks and everythibg to do with her personality. And journalism skills...

SansaryaAgain · 28/08/2015 06:33

I won't click the article but assume it's Shona Sibery (sp?)? She makes Liz Jones look like a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. Her low point came a couple of years ago when she wrote an article about how teachers who have affairs with students shouldn't be prosecuted as the students are nothing but naughty little minxes who try to seduce them, much as she did in her nubile you. Yuck.

SansaryaAgain · 28/08/2015 06:38

Here's the article on student-teacher relationships, probably one of the most irresponsible pieces of "journalism" I've ever read.

fastdaytears · 28/08/2015 06:53

Every time I get half way through an absurd article like this a lightbulb goes off and I realise it's THAT woman. Have never bothered learning her name but everything she writes is offensive or bat shit crazy and a lot of it is both.

Moopsboopsmum · 28/08/2015 06:58

She will be logging on and loving the attention on here. I have no opinion about her.

Arsenic · 28/08/2015 07:01

You think Moop?

I assumed she just loved the cheque.

hazeyjane · 28/08/2015 07:42

So it's ok to mock someone's facial disfigurement? A physical deformity? A visible disability?

Call her vile, attention seeking, whorish, etc etc but honestly, listen to yourselves!

flotillas70 · 28/08/2015 07:48

Bitch. Whore. Nice.

Arsenic · 28/08/2015 07:49

Can't we just say she's a rubbish journalist with repellent views?

Wehavealwayslivedinthecastle · 28/08/2015 07:51

They wheel her out to write these ridiculous inflammatory articles about her kids, her husband etc etc. She seems to write literally anything for a few quid.
She's foolish to talk about dogs so flippantly though. As a nation of animal lovers she will be getting a lot of hate online I imagine.

bikeandrun · 28/08/2015 08:01

I haven't clicked on the article, but cant you all see what she is doing. She is paid a big pile of cash to write the biggest pile of controversial tosh she can think off, probably about something that never happened. Cue outrage, articles linked from everywhere, maximum publicity for this vile paper and more clicks- even more profit. There have been so many dm links on here over the last few days, stop playing into the bastards hands!

Wolpertinger · 28/08/2015 08:01

I've always assumed everything she writes is made up to maximize clicks - the more frothing at the mouth she can generate, the higher her fee.

Shona Sibary, Liz Jones, Katie Hopkins - the Maill loves them all. Masses of media coverage for minimal effort, ideally while making women feel bad about themselves.
