Barbara Amiel Black
Barbara Amiel Black is a right-wing columnist and a former director of Hollinger International, the company owned by her husband Conrad Black. According to a report into the financial mismanagement of Hollinger one of the reasons for the huge withdrawals from the business was to "satisfy the liquidity needs arising for the personal lifestyle Black and his wife had chosen to lead". In 1983 she was chosen as the first female editor of the Toronto Sun and has written for The Times[1]
Political Views
According to a profile of Amiel in The Guardian her political views are:
- "Like many of today's rightwing commentators, she briefly flirted with communism as a student, but later as a non-religious Jew enthusiastically adopted trenchantly pro-Israel, pro-American, Eurosceptic views, and promoted her belief that homosexuality is an abomination[2].
