The hypocrisy of Owen Jones & Co

Owen Jones has retweeted Shon Fae who was alarmed that the anti trans hate group (!) FPFW had talked about handing out leaflets to people in the street, including ‚gangs of lads‘.
Owen is anxious ‚where will this end?‘, apparently sharing Shon‘s assessment that this incites violence.

Which makes me wonder: do they actually think, male violence is a thing? If I were on Twitter, I‘d ask them, why they paint men as violent, just because some bad apples, NAMALT and all...
It is funny how they thought all was hunky dory when the (male) TRAs were only confronted with women to harass and beat up, but now that these hateful creatures involve males (also: did they think those blokes would not notice when their mum is in a ward together with a male or their girlfriend is upset about changing room issues? Should men have no say in the GRA consultation? This is all so silly...)

Wee Owen got owned.

Man Katie really is a nasty piece of work, isn't he? Of course he doesn't have the nerve to take on Kirkup, and will instead find some more women to bully.

I genuinely used to think OJ was clever Blush

SPOFS · 18/10/2018 16:39

Ah Little OJ, the Guardian's answer to Katie Hopkins. I wonder how much money he has lost the Guardian? He must cost them more than he makes. I know plenty who have stopped reading because of him.

His other book is 'The Establishment. And How They Get Away With It'

Was it a ‘How to’ guide?

Kirkup nails it, and that the attacked woman, a sexual violence survivor, would have loved to meet a labour pol but none would have her, contrary to Davies (as she points out) speaks volumes. Engineering a Nodebate environment and then smearing women for anyone who will still listen - how pathetic can it get?

Can anyone post a link to the twitter spat for us luddites to enjoy?!

Seeing James K take on LOJ was a thing of beauty....

Stonewall has been taking lessons

Is Owen being on the wrong side of history going to be like those mime artists stuck in a box? We're all going to plough on protecting women and girls, and he and Shon will be spanning out invisible walls with their hands.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/10/2018 16:08

His book Chavs is how he made his name!

deepwatersolo · 18/10/2018 16:07

I don‘t think Owen will ever apologize LangCleg and won‘t have problems for it. He is not a woman, after all.
I was not aware he had written about the demonization of the working class before. This makes these tweets extra shitty.

Where's that ferret?

Oh Kirkup, that was truly epic. Jolly well done.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/10/2018 16:03

It's too late. Owen is on The Wrong Side Of History. Sad

LangCleg · 18/10/2018 16:00

Good for James!

Come on Owen - you know and we know that the time for your mea culpa is approaching. Gotta hang on to the lucrative comment gigs, after all. Have you drafted anything yet?

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 18/10/2018 15:57

And hooray for James Kirkup, who Gets It.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 18/10/2018 15:56

Fuck off, Owen. And you, too, Shon.

BigotedWoman · 18/10/2018 15:55

James Kirkup gets better and better. Wine for him.

ScarletBegonias · 18/10/2018 15:52

James Kirkup seems to have lost patience (if he ever had any) with little OJ over on Twitter an hour or so ago. Taking exception to what OJ had been saying re the Guardian piece about women's concerns needing to be heard, James remarked "There are words for men like you." then went on to call OJ a "pathetic coward".
OJ seems to have blocked James at that point Shock
