JK Rowling, the author of Harry Potter Series, has been named as the most influential woman in the UK by leading magazine editors.

Victoria Beckham, David Beckham’s wife, was the runner-up and the Queen in the third place. The prime minister's wife Samantha Cameron was sixth.

The list of 100 women was compiled to mark the centenary of the National Magazine Company which currently publishes 20 magazines.

Here is the list:

The Top Ten

JK Rowling
Victoria Beckham
The Queen
Shami Chakrabarti
Cheryl Cole
Samantha Cameron
Cath Kidston, designer
Kate Moss
Dame Vivienne Westwood
Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson

Kate Moss, who was involved in drug use five years ago, was also included on the list. Some people are not satisfied with Kate Moss. Some think that she is a bad girl.

Who are these people supposed to influence? JK Rowling writes fairytale books. Victoria Beckham is only famous for being a footballers WAG. Most of the others are "famous" for being infamous.

Here I comp Gaffer. Media just loves to make all kinds of lists, some to sell papers if there is nothing amazing happened, some just to do something...

The only one who has at least some real influence is The Queen. Others are just names.

Yes she is a good writer of fairytale books, got lucky with one and has become fabulously rich. She may be inspirational to other writers not to give up, but that doesn't mean she should be influentual in the real world.

Gaffer, she may not be very influential but she does have influence on other people.
