getting people fired

Is that a slip I glimpse?

And ill bet he eats avocados and quinoa

A tragedy for our times

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer yeah, he's built a whole career on his fabricated identity, when really he's a Gove-a-like sporting baggy hand-knitted jumpers and a copy of Das Kapital.

I'm seriously starting to get pissed off at Owen Jones now and his doubling down on this.

Yeah. But it's all he can do. He can't look at the facts, as relayed in the james Kirkup piece. Otherwise he's have to admit h was wrong, And the nasty women were right. All he can do is keep hammering away at his little opinion piece that's it's tRaNs-Ph-O-bIA.

Sorry Owen. Fool- out of- self-again. You must be getting used to it. Still, those who don't want to see it, won't. So there's that - you'll always have your little band of cheerleaders I guess.

So you just keep defending people whose actions breached NSPCC's own safeguarding rules, Owen. And people who wore fetish gear under their clothes, and then wanked off at work, and put the videos up on the internet, Owen. At a children's charity, Owen.

Needmoresleep ooh, not sure about that, Gove's family were pretty bourgeois.

I'm sticking with LOJ as the leftie Gove, mostly because I can imagine how much that comparison would annoy him

I think it was being told he isn't working class

Fair point saskia

That must have been crushing

Being his whole raison d‘etre and all

Though actually Gove has a decent claim to a working class background.

TurboTeddy It's an awesome song

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer I think it was being told he isn't working class. Being the spokesman for the working classes is his whole claim to fame, without that that he's just an insipid posh boy who went to Oxford, with nothing to distinguish him from all the other posh Oxford boys. He'd be a leftie version of Michael Gove - dull, pasty and mediocre.

Thank you Saskia appreciated The Pulp track, made me all nostalgic. I'm loving Sanctimonious Morph too.

saskia

I reckon it was the shit bit

Rest of it was true and even the shit bit is just a matter of opinion

I wonder which part of 'The Post' Sanctimonious Morph most objected to - where he was called a piece of shit, or where his working class credentials were called into question. because he isn't working class, you know. All that stuff about being a down-to-earth salt-of-the-earth, working class lad from Sheffield is utter bollocks.

He lived in the most affluent part of Sheffield (one of the most affluent parts of the country, in fact), and his parents were educated professionals. He'd like people to think he was brought up in a council house in S5, but the truth is he has never even ventured north of the Don, and is actually a nasty middle class oik who has such a huge sense of self-importance he thinks he can position himself as the spokesman for a group of people he has never met, has nothing in common with, and whom he clearly feels contempt for.

Hey, Owen - I guess you'll see this given your penchant for lurking in these parts looking for screenshots - Jarvis Cocker wrote a song about you

Ive seen the ‘naughty’ post

Im not sure why it was deleted as most of it seemed perfectly factual to me

Do you know what, I'm seriously starting to get pissed off at Owen Jones now and his doubling down on this.

Retweeting again that Guardian interview of Munroe claiming this is about transphobia.

How dare you Owen. How. Fucking. Dare. You.

How dare you continue to just totally ignore the reason that Munroe got dropped by the NSPCC in order to further your own agenda. How dare you ignore child safeguarding in order to continue to bleat on about 'transphobia' and 'homophobia'.

I'm so appalled, I can't even believe what I am seeing with my own eyes.

getting people fired

I think the problem is that it sounds like someone is doing something to get that person fired...on purpose

Not just...firing them

Someone has used exactly the same phrase (a common one i know) on another thread saying Jo Brand ‘got someone fired’

I'm not on Twitter, and I have no idea how to 'retweet', but I'd like to show this to everyone:

It's so great to see Owen Jones et al condemning the terrible homophobia of the Iranian regime who hang gay men from a ... what? What? Ok. Correction: it's so great to see OJ et al condemning the terrible homophobia of people who object to men making gimp porn in the office loo.

I saw it on Simon Fanshawe's twitter page

Ignore, rehash. Sorry

Be still my heating heart.

Well, getting people fired isn't elegant grammar, but I think its meaning is fairly clear, the process of firing someone.

I knew there was a reason why I love Jospehine Liptrott!

Enjoy!

The Guardian are peddling the OJ interview again on Twitter. They have been told repeatedly it's an inaccurate representation. No one there has responded to the question about safeguarding in a week of this.

getting people fired???

Getting people fired?

You mean, firing people?

Intetesting phrasing.

PP was implying that this, assuming assuming evidence true, it would still be hard to sack them

Not at all. I was implying that getting people fired is not simply or straightforward in a lot of cases, even for good reason. Unless by hard you mean, it takes good documentation, going through all the right hoops, possibly court cases - in which case, yes, it can still be hard.

Notwithstanding that some people seem to get fired when they shouldn't.

It's not unusual for employers to find sacking difficult enough that they try and achieve the same thing through alternate means.
