Poor Liz Jones

[James H]

Just to share some gems of this woman's.... I can't even describe it.

Today:

Security check: Liz Jones hates having to remove her shoes and having her face cream confiscated (file photo)

I don't know, but isn't all the stress of going on holiday marred somewhat by the panic to get every inch of your body harvested and honed in time?

And aren't you, like me, so over getting on a plane? I have booked a week in a villa in Ibiza with its own pool, mainly to avoid having to strip off in public on a beach.

Why, then, am I forced to practically get naked at the airport?

First, I am asked to remove my jacket, despite the fact that a) it is Yves Saint Laurent and doesn't do folded, or being squashed into a horrid plastic tray, and b) I only have on a Marc Jacobs camisole underneath, which is the equivalent of standing around in a bra.

Second, they ask me to remove my shoes, despite the fact I normally travel in Havaiana flip-flops, in which it is impossible to secrete bombs or sharp implements.

Now, I don't really do walking on nylon carpet that has been trodden on by myriad members of the public.

I have, in the past, just stood there, asking for a white pair of spa slippers, to no avail.

Third, they then confiscate my Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour cream. Do they not know how desiccating the air inside the cabin is?

I mean, my vacation has already been ruined at the thought of all this unnecessary interference.

It can't be easy for someone like Liz. She clearly suffers from a neurological disorder that means she has to go through life with a massive sense of entitlement that, thanks to her whelming mediocrity and limited intellectual prowess (as we've seen by her writing ability) will never be satisfied. Poor thing. If I see her I'm going to put my hand in my pocket, bring it out again and then slap her round the head in the hope it might free up some neurons and fix her.

What can you say for a paper whose journos can't use a crop tool?

[Jenny]

I think she was trying to be humorous. Mind you, the "security" stuff at airports is fucking ridiculous now.

[James H]

I've got to say, though, if I'm getting on a plane, I'd rather know that mine and everybody elses' clothing and belongings are explosive/weapon free than take a chance because some prissy bitch didn't want her Gucci handbag damaged by X-rays.

Why don't you demand the same when you get on a bus?

What can you say for a paper whose journos can't use a crop tool?

I think its more amusing that whoever didn't crop also couldn't find/Google the downing street twitter account, look at the email subject behind it "heres a link to number 10 on twitter..."

It's actually Evening Standard pisspoority. (look at the Taskbar) Are the ES and the Hatemail even bedfellows nowadays?

Sounds much more dramatic than it actually is. Daft cow thinks that if you hide behind paper you'll get away with slander.

She claimed that shelf-stackers in her area all have learning difficulties and ‘have never heard of Illy coffee’.

This is my favourite bit.

The comments are particularly fab though I have not found a single one sympathising with her yet. Except one by "Melanie, London" who claims she is an asset to the area. Probably Melanie Phillips then.

Avon and Somerset Police say they are keeping ‘an open mind’ about the attack. A spokeswoman said: ‘We’re treating this as damage to a mailbox.’
