Whilst wasting an hour or so this morning, I had a look for online articles on why LJ has lost work with the DM.
The New Statesman article below from January 2014 is on Paul Dacre, editor at the Mail. Interesting story on him and his background, but another journalist gives the reason why Dacre uses Jones, as a warning to successful women that you can't have it all and be happy. Dacre champions family values, something Liz will never know.
I quote "The Mail’s poster girl is Liz Jones, the columnist and fashion editor celebrated for her self-hatred and misery. “She has so much,” says another Mail journalist, “lots of money, expensive houses, the newest clothes. But she’s never had a child, she hasn’t kept hold of a man, and she’s unhappy. The message is: it’s what happens to you, girls, if you pursue worldly success. You can succeed but, oh boy, you will suffer for it.”
I wonder if Jones is aware Dacre used her as a warning to women that they shouldn't pursue "wordly success"?!!!
The whole (lengthy) article is here....
