Couple of interesting little things on this wikipedia article about this patronising cow.
Liz Jones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liz Jones (allegedly born 5 September 1958 - see below) is an English journalist and writer. She currently writes columns for the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday. She was previously the editor of British Marie Claire (from which post she was sacked for referring to a model as "a bag of bones") and has also been an editor at the Evening Standard.[1]
She also writes a weekly column for the Mail on Sunday called "Liz Jones’s Diary" in which she has written at length about her life with and divorce from the author Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal.
At the end of March 2009 Jones was reported as being about to take over British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman's Mail column .[2]
On 6 November 2008 Jones wrote a controversial article attacking female body art.[3]
Jones now lives in Brushford, just south of Dulverton, Somerset with rescued horses and other animals, as she recounts in The Exmoor Files (despite the book title, she in fact lives some two miles outside the Exmoor National Park).[1][4] In September 2009, her mailbox was hit by an air rifle pellet, although it is not known by whom, or even if it was intentional, although she claimed that it was because her remarks made the residents seem "cold, dirty, smelly and vicious".[5]
For many years, Jones concealed her birth date, only finally giving an accurate date - September 5th, 1958 - in her Mail on Sunday column of May 25th, 2008. [6] However, this date is not confirmed by the England & Wales Birth Index for 1958: in fact, the only entry for an Elizabeth A. Jones registered as born in Essex (Colchester) comes in the 2nd quarter of 1950, which would very strongly indicate that her true age is really 59.
Is this gonna be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?
