Who is your favourite columnist?

Liz Jones definitely makes me want to shake her.

I like Jan Moir, Hunter Davies, Alison Pearson and sometimes Janet Street Porter especially when she's not pulling any punches.

I love Liz Jones, want to hug her and shake her all at the same time?

Hunter Davies. I loved his wife's books, and I now love his dry humour.

I like John Crace's pieces in the Guardian.

I like Jan Moir and Richard Littlejohn.

Littlejohn is brilliant at picking up on idiotic’you couldn’t make it up ‘ news items plus daft examples of political correctness.

I've just checked out Hadley Freeman's columns with a skim-read of subjects. I associated her with fashion which isn't a huge area of interest. Clearly I was wrong about the subjects she covered.

I used to enjoy Joan Smith's work a lot, and her occasional appearances on TV. Can't remember which newspapers she wrote for though

Yes, I’d forgotten about Gary Younge.

I just love it when you see an article by a columnist you like and think ‘ooh goody!’

I do like Grace Dent, but I prefer Hadley Freeman. She's so down to earth and witty. I think she'll be back from maternity leave soon for the Weekend column.

I enjoyed Gary Younge's book about gun crime in the USA (Another Day in the Death of America). It was quite an eye opener.

I like Bel Mooney in Saturday's Mail.

I think Grace Dent is great. I really like Gary Younge too but he's less light-hearted. I think his pieces written in the US before he returned to the UK are brilliant.
