Janice Turner isn't happy with Munroe Bergdorf working with Childline; Jones goes in to bat (not baseball bat. yet) for Bergdorf.

Seems to be accusing her of, amongst other things, misogyny by association. Which is interesting.

Oh, this will be fun. I have so much respect for Janice.

What has the Q got to do with children?

What makes a child Q?

this with bloody great big fucking bells on

stop sexualising children

Janice is a trained, experienced award winning proper journalist.

Jones identifies as a journalist, and is a member of the journalist's union, but has never been one.

He gets very tetchy when journalists remind him that he's paid to write an OPINIONS column and has no background, training or experience of reporting, investigating, or fact-checking.

No, he doesn't like to be reminded that while he identifies as one, he's not the real deal and never will be.

And that's before we even get to Monroe's suitability to work with/for vulnerable children. Which is obviously 100% unsuitable.

ZebrasAreBras · 09/06/2019 21:10

Here's a little cheat-sheet of all the things Monroe has said which makes Monroe an unsuitable person for Owen to defend.

Didn't Bergdorf tweet 'Nobody cares' in response to someone complaining they had been doxxed and pictures of their kids shared?

Yes, Owen Jones. What a shocking injustice that an individual like Bergdorf, so clearly deeply concerned with the welfare of children, was dropped like a hot rock by a children's charity.

I know it's probably a bit beyond your ken, but childrens charities actually exist for the purpose of the welfare of children, not the validation of vacuous misogynists.

And, I don't normally eat popcorn .. but this might just be worth a nibble!

JackyHolyoake · 09/06/2019 20:59

Oh! Zebras .. I will go and look tomorrow! Well done!

If you read this Owen, know that your books in the Birmingham branch of Waterstones have been hidden behind the feminist ones.

Fantastic. I shall be at my local Waterstones doing the same... Grin

(Bluewater shopping centre)

I used to think Owen was a great bloke. Not anymore.

Monroe Bergdorf + children's safeguarding = not a good mix.

I feel this could be a campaign I could get involved with!

Popchyk · 09/06/2019 20:40

Janice didn't launch a campaign. Of any description.

She made one comment on a Twitter thread. If that is launching a campaign, then OJ has launched millions of campaigns.

Other people (plenty of them by the sounds of it) contacted NSPCC to complain about the suitability of the appointment.

I think I love you ❤️

Aspley · 09/06/2019 20:36

Yes, all this will do is make even more people aware of MB previous homophobic comments - thanks Owen, way to prove our point.

ZebrasAreBras · 09/06/2019 20:32

Janice Turner has 1000x the journalistic integrity of you.

ZebrasAreBras · 09/06/2019 20:31

Owen Jones doesn't realise that Munroe Bergdorf has said some exceptionally homophobic stuff? Incl. use of the word "fggot ?? What would he say if a radfem used that word? His head would explode.

He's a hypocritical, misogynistic, anti-lesbian, misinformed banana-brain.

Go back to your luxury communism Owen. Sup your champers with 'alleged' flashers like Jess Bradley. Did you like the pics of children's cartoon character Ben 10 being raped on Jess B's page?

Janice Turner had 1000x the journalistic integrity of you.

WhenIsTheEasyBit · 09/06/2019 20:18

I worship JT, but think she has slightly wrong footed herself by majoring on MB's 'porn' life, rather than on their disregard for normal safeguarding and their homophobia and cruel comments regarding infertility. There was tons to go for without having to then justify why she hadn't been equally critical of other celebs who've done similar photo shoots.

That said, totally agree it speaks volumes about OJ that THIS is the story he's chosen to get excited about this week.

OvaHere · 09/06/2019 20:18

Doesn't LOJ have most of twitter on block? I doubt he's seen a contradictory fact or opinion in years.

VickyEadie · 09/06/2019 20:16

It's almost as if all that evidence of Bergdorf encouraging children to make direct contact with them, tweeting unbelievably offensive things about lesbians, not caring about kids at risk, etc isn't freely visible and hasn't been re-tweeted many times over the past couple of days.

Isn't it?

Needmoresleep · 09/06/2019 20:14

He better stay in with his employers. I cant see the Murdoch press offering him a job anytime soon, and I guess he wont want to work for thd Mail. Even thoughbthey probably pay a lot more than Pink News.

HandsOffMyRights · 09/06/2019 20:14

I'm blocked.

I really resent a male, non parent assuming that MB is fit to work for NSPCC or hold any kind of postion concerning the welfare of children. I am so sick and tired of safeguarding being dismantled and women's rights being given away by privileged boys with NO skin in the game.

Where the hell was he when a lesbian was attacked this week?

If you read this Owen, know that your books in the Birmingham branch of Waterstones have been hidden behind the feminist ones.

TurboTeddy · 09/06/2019 20:13

Janice Turner will chew up OJ and spit him out again.

I do hope so, odious arsehole.

theOtherPamAyres · 09/06/2019 20:08

NSPCC dropped a trans activist after an anti-trans campaign against her they should a) no longer be regarded as the allies of LGBTQ children

What has the Q got to do with children?

What makes a child Q?

Can Jones explain why the words 'child, kinks, polyamorous, gender identity' should appear in the same sentence, without blurring boundaries and safeguarding principles?

FloralBunting · 09/06/2019 20:05

Can anyone on twitter put him right?

I think this is probably a far more existential question than you realize...

LizzieSiddal · 09/06/2019 20:03

He’s throwing out the fact suicide statistics now Hmm

Can anyone on twitter put him right?

FermatsTheorem · 09/06/2019 20:02

Knife to a gunfight - that's about the size of it. Janice Turner is way, way out of LOJ's league, intellectually. She will have him on toast.
