Could I please get a link to this Facebook stuff people keep mentioning? I am so nosy I just have to see.

Liz Jones boils my blood like few things do. There is something so vile about her I can't bear to even think of her most of the time. Looks like I'm in good company here!
Yes, you probably are. Nobody able to remotely touch her talent. If she was a bloke 'telling it like it is' she'd be hailed as the next Littlejohn. Instead she gets reviled in the vilest possible way. When you can produce writing like she does in the volume she achieves it, let us know.

Slightly disconcerting that most of the comments under the India Knight article support Liz and are massively green arrowed and there is one pointing out the obvious (ie Liz Jones spits bile at people in everything she writes and started the whole thing off anyway) and it's been red arrowed
she's a coumnist, paid to point out things in society. Spitting bile is what the posters on this site do when they do vile stuff about her face, body and personality.

Perhaps you'd like to join the Liz Jones Appreciation Group on Facebook.

They sorely need some new input as the tumbleweed is blowing around the buttery soft air over there.

Ah, volume. Not quality, just volume.

Liz Jones is the one spitting bile constantly about Mothers, children, Kirstie Allsopp, Holly Willoughby, her family, her ex, service personnel, people with special needs..the list is endless..so I'd say she fully deserves any opprobrium that comes her way. Not only that, she's a lousy writer - her articles are riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions.

"Telling it like it is". Ah! Lying, in print. Of course. The new Littlejohn!

She doesn't point out things in society - her columns are just one long mememememememe! Have a read of tomorrow's diary where she yet again attacks her poor long suffering sister and her nephew and then come back and tell us which part of it is not spitting bile.....

Come on luvvie, I've read your post history, you just like Liz because she slates Holly Willoughby and you loathe her.

I think you both have a touch of the green eyed monster with young Hols, you and Liz have that much in common, no wonder you like her.

If I ever, ever produced "writing like she does", I'd most likely die of pure shame. She is a truly desperate excuse for a competent journalist.

I had assumed the inbred locals would be kind and gentle folk, with names like 'Mollie' and 'Seth' and have a nice pub, like in that reality show Emmerdale (the countryside's answer to TOWIE). But instead they were vicious and cruel, like the locals in Deliverance. And I was their Ned Beatty!...

I can't stand Littlejohn either, he's a disgusting human being.

It always amuses me so - you get the occasional rabid supporter on here (granted - they're a rare breed) but when pressed as to why they like her and to try and defend her detestable diatribes (i.e using people with special needs for a humour angle - hilarious ) they always go silent and not another word until a few months down the line with the usual :"oh she's just honest/you're just all sad/get a life/ blah blah blah blah blah"

At least Jones is just joke material,

Don't forget how much she "loves animals"! Just ask the previous owner of her horse, Nellie, or check out how all the cats "stress wee" and the untrained dogs not only chew all the furniture but also kill local sheep... True animal lover, eh? (Should that be "Ay?" -she is "profoundly deaf" too you know)

She's profoundly deaf until she is on the 'phone to a call centre when she can give abuse.

Those poor bliddy animals is all I think.

What a fascinating post. So, somebody, (me!) expressing a contrary opinion to all the sheep has to be a 'rabid supporter' do they? Are you really SO afraid of Liz Jones - she must really do something to you.

Oh well, stick with Dolly Willoughby. There's plenty more where that came from.

Well, do you have to read them? I find her a fabulous writer, whether I agree or disagree with the point of view. Just try pumping out such pithy stuff in a few lines and you might learn something.

The thing about this thread which is so absolutely condemnatory, is that whilst professing to be appalled by the opinions of one single columnist, it then condemns anybody who might disagree! The irony.

Gosh, that was witty!

I don't join clubs. I appreciate what I appreciate and have never been a sheep. The army is full of privates.

You know it is slightly hypocritical of you to moan about people sniping at Liz Jones when you do exactly the same about Holly Willoughby...

so you think that constantly recycling material that is contradictory, hypocritical and downright cruel and vindictive (such as using people with learning difficulties in a "humorous" context) makes one a "fabulous writer"?

whatever!

PS Penelope - please can you tell me why you think LJ is a "fabulous writer" ?

I'm not being sarcastic - I really am interested.
