Barbara Amiel aka Barbara Black - Libertarian journalist and political hostess
Barbara was born in Watford. When her parents divorced, she moved to Canada. A scholarship to the University of Toronto was followed by a career in journalism, which once saw her imprisoned in Mozambique for the sake of a scoop. She then became the first female editor of the Toronto Sun.
Returned to Britain in the 1980s, her witty broadsides at liberal targets earned her the name ’the Iron Lady of Wapping’. When she met Conrad Black it has been reported that he was so infatuated he had to see a shrink, but its was alright, it was nothing more than love. Barbara is now chatelaine of this country’s foremost political salon. Her fourth husband owns publishing group Hollinger, which includes the Spectator and the Telegraph for which she also writes for.
