Owen Jones

[Flibbertigibbet]

Does Owen actually think his Dad would be proud of him for this insanely rabid response to the news that an old man is ailing?
I think Biden was a doddery old fool who did harm to his party and his country by clinging to power, but I don't wish him ill.

'any advice appreciated' twice on the same post that states he's already recieving medical treatment. Imagine sitting in A&E telling the attending physician you're canvassing twitter for medical advice and will let them know what's said

I see the nation's favourite crybully has stomped out of the Labour party

The Labour party is in my blood. Here’s why I’ve just cancelled my membership | Owen Jones | The Guardian

Cries tears for Gaza (but not Ukraine) and had no issue with his buddy, mentor, former boss and key Corbyn ally Seumus Milne being an apologist for Assad's gassing and genocide in Syria. He can fuck off into irrelevance


Like many on the far left / Corbyn wing, he's much happier being an activist sitting on the sidelines demanding things vs, you know, actually governing

Ugh ffs, being horny for underage guys is wrong. Whether you're doing something about it, or just fantasising online. It's not like it's an 17 year old and 15 year old (still wrong but slightly more understandable). The guy is well into his 60s.

Stop normalising gay men going for underage guys. It's a horrible harmful stereotype that gay men have faced for decades. Stop bloody encouraging it.

The Jews have given OJ a tummy ache.

Good to know that our gallant little soldier has bravely recovered from the Jewish-Russian Yoghurt Poisoning Attempt. Or as us evil Ashkenazis term it, the Maseltovichok Ski Incident.

 

[Sour Pickle]

Wtf? A dark day. I deliberately never comment or engage with him.

 

[IndominusRex]

I hold Biden personally responsible for the horror faced by girls and women in Afghanistan (which little Owen doesn’t give 2 shiny shits about). I still don’t think it’s good that he’s got cancer.

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

Owen has got muddled up between X and Substack and forgot that everyone could see him liking racist tropes

He‘s trying to style it out by pretending he didn’t read the whole post

You are a man full of straightforward antisemitic bile Owen.

If there was ever an official definition of the term 'man child', just have a picture of Owen Jones.

 

[Ndrangheta]

So, if its all bollocks I imagine he’ll be suing private eye then? But of course he only likes to take on and ruin women, so I reckon he’ll leave the mostly male Private Eye staff alone.

Plus I think Private Eye have only ever lost one libel case in 40 years or something and they are the most sued publication in the world.

Here's the article:

You'd have to be a complete fool to think anything Owen says is new or revolutionary

Exhibit A:

They've removed the brand quote from the cover now

This comment on an article sums up Owen Jones far better than I ever could:

Owen Jones is far from unusual. He is, in many respects, a bog-standard Guardian leftie – self satisfied, arrogant, incapable of originality and prone to repackaging his various hatreds of those more successful than him, as compassion for [insert favoured victim group].

It is amazing to me that of all the original thinkers I have met coming from Oxford, that the Guardian should choose someone as remarkable for his lack of talent and imagination as Owen Jones. He invariably regurgitates failed slogans from the 1970s and presents them as though they are the magical outcome of his own brilliance. It takes a special kind of narcissism and lack of self awareness to do that. (https://unherd.com/2022/04/how-the-guardian-enables-owen-jones/)

So I take it the Doctor husband isn't a real doctor, he's one of those doctors who did a PHD in something like the use of shallots in Tudor cookery.

 

[peachplumpear]

He just so openly, nakedly, hates women. Even the few he tolerates it's clearly only so he can pull their names out to say 'ah, well Ash Sarkar doesn't think I'm a misogynist!' You can see his eyes about to pop out of his head when a woman disagrees with him.

Editing my own post to say I don't even know if 'hate' is the right word. It's more that he's genuinely astounded that woman have the cognitive horsepower to have an opinion, let alone one that doesn't match with his Verified Right On Owen take.

 

[VeniVidiVicki]

I bet his mum has him muted on WhatsApp

 

[Mark81]

Probably because saying the shocking things online is getting him more views and engagement.

He's basically a left wing Katie Hopkins

 

[NomDeGuerre]

Why does he care about every social issue other than the exploitation of young women and girls in South America who are on the frontline of ensuring a seamless supply of cocaine to North London dinner parties?

The small ways in which we do or don’t respect each other mean everything when there’s nothing else we can trust. Spitting, littering, taking up the whole path so nobody else can get past, not offering seats to elderly/mothers with small children etc, shuffling past women* dragging heavy suitcases up the stairs, loud music on public transport, talking loudly on the phone in public etc (I don’t know why it annoys me more when people do this hands free? I suppose instinctively there’s just something quite unsettling about seeing/hearing someone shouting in the street before your brain has that split second to catch up).

We have unspoken rules around all these things because there’s an implicit understanding that life is just that little bit nicer for everyone when we follow them. To denigrate those norms is to denigrate the people. We’ve had enough.

*reading this back I think I probably should include fathers with small children/men dragging heavy things up stairs!

Owen is insisting that this crime is unrelated to what the Sun was reporting. Perhaps unrelated in terms of a crime being committed, but not contextually or morally unrelated, since they were happening at the same time.

The public has every right to give a shit that a highly paid man in a position of public trust, being paid with public money, was soliciting sexual content from a much, much, much younger man, whether or not it was technically something that could be criminally prosecuted.

I said it when the Schofield stuff came out - if your only defence of something is that it isn't technically illegal, you're probably not acting from the moral high ground.

Owen is a little gobshite who thinks he shits chocolate ice cream and we all want a lick, but he's not as bright as he thinks he is.

 

[Deedeemegadoodoo]

There’s a current Twitter pile on against OJ (quite fitting, as he has instigated quite a few himself) due to an about to be published column in Private Eye about his behaviour towards female colleagues at the Guardian.

 

[Foxvint]

Little Owen can’t be a misogynist. Look, here he is with a woman.

I remember that. What's the bet she's some achingly posh girl with an education, opportunities, connections, a family to fall back on and zero chance of ever having to suck dick for her supper, socialism or anything else.

She won't be wearing her naughty t-shirt on dress down Friday in the City.
