    Does anyone remember Liz stalking her vet, a very happily married man (or MM as she covertly calls him, see what she did there?). Not only did she waste his valuable professional time by using her animals as an excuse to see him but naturally she details her obsession all over the diary, causing humilation to him and his wife. If anyone had just cause to take legal action it was this poor man.

    The thing is with her you just don't if it's real or a load of BS. Which ever the case while living in a small community it's a harmful thing to publish as a diary piece and very disrespectful to villagers where she was living at the time.
    I find her writing so sneering, so patronising. Am sure she knows exactly how it comes across. Dear Reader - more like Right Morons swallow this.

    Also, in the diary link (thank you cherry), she seems to repeat a sentence. Perhaps proving she is paid by the word.

    Sorry, I know it sounds nit picking but for someone who writes for a living, it's a bit poor!

    Sorry folks I can't do links:confused: but there's an article in mail online today headed: Chris Brown's Baby Mama........and if you scroll down to the 11th (yawn) photo behind the front two in huge furs is a familiar looking pastey peed off face with dyed jet black hair. Was Liz at the New York Fashion Week? If she wasn't then she's definitely got a miserable looking doppelganger.

    I know the DM is hated by many but she actually seems to have very little presence on the website these days

    Liz Jones would DREAM of looking like that. The woman's a third her age.

    This pic?
    Definitely not her. I can see what you mean but if you've ever seen her parting it's about a mile wide, she would sell her soul to look like teh woman in that photo!

    Thanks Rubbish (feels so mean calling you that!) for putting up the link, can't get my head around anything half technical. I can see the eye brows are more human looking than our Liz's. But they are both definitely rocking that special 'look', sort of post goth try something else quick. Not being rotten to old Goths - had great fun doing it all back in the day - but the older you get the more ill it can some make you appear. Each to their own at the end of the day.

    As a distraction from flu convalescence, I've looked at the internal plans for the "mansion" per the selling details. It's a rather strange house altogether. Not sure how much was paid in the end, but an asking price of £1.1 million seems OTT.

    Why buy something with no stables and no suitable land for turning out horses?

    It might have something to do with the fact that she's a self-obsessed bubble-brain who collects animals in the same way a child collects toys and then passes the reesponsibility on to someone else. Hence the appalling premature death toll of animals in her 'care'.

    Wasn't she renting it initially?

    Good post, cherrychocolate. I feel the same way; never quite knowing if she's for real or not. I think that's what she's going for, actually.

    :)thanks.
    It is funny how we're all so obsessed with her.

    It is funny, you're right there. On my part it's like a guilty pleasure, trying to unravel the psychology behind her writing.

    I have no doubt that us all going on and on trying to figure her out is exactly what she wants.

    I gave that serious consideration at one point, and dismissed it in short order, given the irrefutable evidence of her increasingly addled witterings. Simply, she's not close to being a good enough writer to be doing this intentionally: she really believes it.

    Which, to me at least, indicates someone seriously in need of institutional care.

    You make a good point about the quality of writing.

    I do think it's vile of the Mail to continue to employ her. Whatever's going on with the woman they are exploiting it in a really nasty way.

    Can't get my head around that point either, why the **** does she still have that job. No doubt she fights tooth and claw for what ever she sets her dark heart on.

    It would be interesting to know how many who comment here have read her books. I haven't, if I see any in the charity shops I might, but otherwise I can't bring myself to give her a cent.
    There's loads of bits and pieces I don't really know about, for instance the horse that died that belonged to another lady??? Does anyone here know, or where to look? Or exactly how she put the same account in 2 books but tweeked the details like who when and where. There must be tonnes of stuff out there.
    She could be a Mastermind specialist subject.

    So contestant number 2, your chosen specialist subject is The Big Fat Lies of Ms Liz Jones.

    I think this whole thread feeds into her perceived victim status because absolutely ANYTHING that comes along which she can mould into poor meeeeee she grabs at with both hands.

    She certainly reads this at times, perhaps every word:D. Do you remember Diamond Doll saying how much fun and laughs she used to have with David? Straight away in the Diary and opinion piece she just had to remark on all laughter THEY share.
    Not alot of that happening at the mo. Awww poor, poor Lovely Liz😉

    Why oh why are the Fail keeping the diary going? It was a dead horse long ago. Can there be enough in it for them to make it worth keeping?

    I know it's slightly off subject, but talking about why the Mail doesn't lead Jonesy out to pasture, does anyone know why they let go of Melanie Phillips?

    Undoubtedly the Mail keep her on because she is a writer that people love to hate, and her egotistical ramblings get more clicks than anyone else.

    I agree with others that the second best thing that could happen for journalistic standards - and the blood-pressure of the nation as a whole every Sunday morning - would be if she were axed. Of course the best thing of all would be if the poisonous rag that is the Daily Mail were axed. :D

    Like many of you, I came across this column because I couldn't believe that anyone with such a pathological mental condition could be doing this to herself. To begin with I felt sorry for her, and then as time has gone by, I've just become more and more angry that she is paid a fortune to air her neuroses in public. Of late she's begun to make more of her deafness... but frankly that's the least of her worries and could easily be fixed by a deaf-aid... if Gucci made one that is.;-)

    The most worrying thing of all is not her narcissistic personality disorder, how much damage she does to those closest to her, or how many of her rescued animals she's killed during her collection process...it's how many of us on a Sunday morning, tune in to her crapacious, whining diary only to get fuelled up with a weekly fix of righteous indignation.

    I thoroughly dislike the woman and everything she apparently stands for, but I hate myself even more for not only reading her witterings, but responding to them with bile on this... when in my heart I know that she would disappear gently into the mental healthcare system if only I chose not to log in. :confused:

    And therein lies the root of the paradox. We want Liz Jones and her poisonous writings gone from this world, and yet we - the ones who react - keep her in place. As the age-old, spiritual maxim says, 'What you resist, persists'.

    The reason that I hold the Daily Mail in such low-esteem, is not just their low editorial standards, but mainly because - to me - they bring out the very worst in humanity. And Liz Jones's Diary is nothing more than a '21st Century Freakshow'... with Jones playing the biggest circus-freak of all.

    I dislike her, but she's on her own little £500k per annum 'hamster-wheel' courtesy of Paul Dacre, and it would be best for everyone concerned - and our blood-pressure - if she were helped off it.:blush:
