Julie Burchill

A fascinating person - the Janis Joplin of columnists. She used to write for the Guardian, a noted left-wing British newspaper, and when she left, she bitingly wrote:

As you might have heard, I'm leaving the Guardian next year for the Times, having finally been convinced that my evil populist philistinism has no place in a publication read by so many all-round, top-drawer plaster saints.

You can read more about her here. There was even a play about her.
I wonder if she would like to join the PLO.
