	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Reviews \| Julie Burchill returns to Soho
		Julie Burchill Is Away spans a few hours in the life of the controversial writer who started her career as a "hip young gunslinger" on the NME and won a reputation as one of Britain's most outrageous and vitriolic journalists.
		Burchill is performed by comedian Jackie Clune, who retains the writer's west country vowels but jettisons her high-pitched lisp.
		Julie Burchill is Away, written by Tim Fountain and directed by Jonathon Lloyd is on at the Soho Theatre in London until 13 July.

	Telegraph \| Health \| The prime of Ms Julie Burchill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		ON one of the fingers of her right hand, Julie Burchill wears a ring inlaid with a hammer and sickle, which is what you would expect from an unreconstructed Stalinist.
		It is easy to imagine what Burchill sounded like as an 11-year-old schoolgirl in Bristol; her voice doesn't seem to have dropped since then and, although she moved to London when she was 17, she still speaks with a Somerset burr.
		Parsons and Burchill have been feuding ever since, revelling in the other's failures, and resenting their successes (Burchill sold a million copies of Ambition, a "bonkbuster" she wrote when she was 29; Parsons went on to sell a million copies of his novel Man and Boy).

	Independent, The (London): THE INTERVIEW: JULIE BURCHILL: Me and my big mouth
		Julie Burchill, one-time Queen of the Groucho club and Vicky Pollard, the chav slapper from David Walliams and Matt Lucas's Little Britain are one and the same.At least Ms Burchill likes to think so.
		Burchill is having a few as we speak, vodka martinis served just the way she likes them in her favourite Brighton haunt, the Hotel du Vin, where she lounges on a leather sofa.
		Couch-potatoing is, says Burchill, the favourite pastime of the chav, the style-challenged British social grouping for whom she has emerged as a champion, fronting a programme on the social phenomenon by way of an entree into a new career as a television presenter.

	Making it big: bitch politics and writing in public
		Julie Burchill's 'pulling herself up by her shoulder pads' attitude provides a living example that 1980s Britain was a time and place that rewarded the talented.
		Julie Burchill does not, however, dwell in the sphere of her grimy working class origins.
		Julie Burchill is risky - politically, socially and theoretically - but through her perniciousness, feminist theory, politics and writing may be renewed.

		When the curtain at the Soho Theatre rises on Julie Burchill is Away tomorrow night, it will mark the latest chapter in the rise, fall, and rise again of the career of a woman who has become one of the most talked about of her generation.
		Julie Burchill is Away is a one-woman play based on writings, diaries and interviews, performed by Burchill's new best friend, the actress, singer and comedian Jackie Clune.
		Her extremes have generated many critics who are preparing to give Julie Burchill is Away the kind of treatment the Daily Mail meted out when it ran a two-page spread asking: 'Is Julie Burchill the worst mother in Britain?' Not that Burchill will care.

		Burchill must; and in the same manner as Christopher Hitchens, I might violently disagree with her on most of her other positions.
		But Burchill's championing of Thatcher, who was an anathema to the intelligentsia left (for example, Sting's song "We Work the Black Seam"), shows that she will not take a position based solely on emotion.

		Further, that Ms Burchill presumes that all transsexual people are male to female indicates how little she has bothered to read the newspaper she works for.
		Julie Burchill is, as ever, heavy-handed and lacking in compassion (January 20).
		The majority of us are not middle-aged, not married and don't wear silly blouses, and she missed out all the transsexual men (who don't wear blouses at all).

	Amazon.co.uk: Diana: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Julie Burchill manages to be completely love struck with Princess Di and in so doing contributes to every stereotype of Prince Charles and the Royal Family that the tabloids have churned out over the last decade.
		And although Burchill always keeps the queen in her sights, she saves the lethal bullets for Prince Charles, repeatedly excoriating him for the "whatever love means" quote he uttered to cameras at their engagement announcement.
		Burchill's point is that Charles knew all too bloody well what love meant, and when he couldn't have it with his mistress Camilla Parker-Bowles, he got himself a childbearing trophy wife instead.

		First shock, meeting Julie Burchill for lunch in Brighton, is that she is about half the size I remember her; she has gone from mountain to mouse.
		We know Julie Burchill bites; on the other hand she is very loyal to her friends, and for some reason counts me as a friend.
		Up till then, Julie had always been grateful to Orr for saving her career in 1998, when she had been sacked by the Daily Express and seemed to be washed up as a columnist.

		The thing about Julie (and she's the sort of journalist with whom you feel you are definitely on first name terms) is that whether you agree with her or not, there is always a turn of phrase that makes you laugh out loud and you have to admire her sheer chutzpah.
		Julie's work is full of it and this novel for teenagers is no exception.
		She's run off with "a boy young enough to be her waist measurement" and Kim has to hold together her father, her young brother and herself, while adjusting to life in a school which is very different from the posh school she'd attended hitherto.

	Julie Burchill: Not so much journalist as court jester
		Julie snorts coke with Will who is married to Deborah who has has been known to take a line or two.
		Burchill, when she can be bothered, does it better than most, but the formula rarely varies.
		Burchill's forte is to play the game of anti-woman – loud, unmaternal, selfish, uncaring of where her punches landed, much like many men in the media.

		Between 1998 and 2003 Julie wrote a sparkling must-read weekly column in the Guardian and from 2004 began a new spell at The Times.
		Controversial as ever, her claim to be a righteous gentile and her unquestioning support for Israel in the face of what often seems like universal condemnation, generated immense gratitude from jews and pro-Israelis worldwide.
		A term coined by the British newspaper columnist Julie Burchill for television dramas that feature traumatic subjects such as murder, rape, incest and child abuse as entertainment.

	The BBC on Julie Burchill
		Thankfully for Burchill she is endowed with a flair and chutzpah which not only makes her words easy on the eyes, but to many, strangely likeable as well.
		Sadly for her critics, though, Burchill has found a particularly effective way of taking the wind out of their sails by happily referring to herself as a "fat, dark Eighties grande dame".
		For her voice is so shrill and girlish, it seems almost impossible to reconcile the Burchill in print and the Burchill in audio.

	Julie Burchill a Chav… hardly
		Julie Burchill’s documentary on Chavs was well hyped but total nonsense.
		According to Burchill all working class people are Chavs, but nobody on the miners’ strike picket lines she showed was blinged-up or wearing a tracksuit or designer gear.
		Burchill may be proudly working class herself, but she’s obviously spent far too long away.

		If it proves highly enjoyable it is partly because Burchill has a genuine gift for words and partly because Jackie Clune performs her with a sly, mischievous wit.
		Admittedly the narrative peg on which Tim Fountain hangs his 70-minute text is a bit frail: Burchill's pre-and post-lunch musings in her Hove living room as she takes evasive action to prevent her from writing her weekly Guardian column.
		But the paradox of Burchill is that, for all her pretence that she has wasted her talent, she really cares about words.

		I am fond of her but also wary, the way you would be if a strange dog came up and licked your hand.
		Julie has always insisted she is not a lesbian, that her brief fling with Charlotte Raven was a one-off.
		Then she pops into a herbalist's and emerges with a tube of pills called Red Alert, which says on the label: 'Red Alert is een ideale party-pil smartie energie voor een nacht stappen.' In the end I steer her into a taxi (another £20 tip on a £4 fare) and back to her house.

		Consequently, when this stage Burchill moves between "spoken" and "written" material, you can hear the gears crash, so to speak.
		It was astute to cast Jackie Clune as Burchill, though: Clune is particularly skilled at enlisting audience complicity through smirks and a warmth of performance, even when at her bitchiest.
		Whether the real Burchill is so winning, I don't know, but Clune's version keeps even the "anti" contingent more or less charmed.

	Rainbow Network
		There was a time when every columnist wished they were Julie Burchill and even a character in Brookside uttered her name in the early 90s.
		Julie’s previous brick bat throwing - particularly the above - appears to have been influenced by a feminist tract that viewed all gay men as being the essence of patriarchy and that muscle bound, moustached Clones represented the norm.
		Neither Burchill nor the original advocator of such generalised tripe appeared to understand the irony of Muscle Marys and the macho uniform of sexual fetishism.
