Masterclass in column writing with Owen Jones

This, my fellow vipers, you do not want to miss.

“Whatever your point of view, award-winning Guardian columnist Owen Jones can help you to turn your knowledge and passion into a persuasive argument.”

Self-evidently our arguments have been a bit dippy and frivolous the last 5-7 years, so we really should acknowledge LOJ’s superior talent for persuasive arguing.

-and I’m sure we’d all get our money back if our point of view fails to persuade our teacher.

Mic drop: (couldn't remember what it was!)
Oh that's marvellous, I hadn't seen that. Owen really is a joy, isn't he?!

Have a baby for him. He knows what a woman is when it comes to that...

I think he required access to a birthing person, rather than a woman, so perhaps not.

@HitchhikersGuide

Well that sounds great. But only if he can also give me a masterclass in how to be acceptable to him as a woman. Sorry ciswoman. Sorry person who isn't a transwoman. Sorry, maybe 'a nobody'. He can give me a masterclass to show me how pointless I and all other nobodies have always been and will always be, and how my opinions mean nothing as I don't exist.

Don't worry. I suspect that will be present in every word Sanctimonious Morph utters. That day and every other.

Is there such a thing as a mass tutt-athon?

I think I'd pay £50 to witness that in action to OJ's presentation verbal ejaculation of patronising misogyny.

I really would like to do this.

So tempted

This has to be somebody at the Guardian having a laugh, surely: "go on Owen, you're great at this stuff (snigger)".

He's called the BBC article about the Cotton Ceiling one of the great British journalism scandals of our time, I see. He's veering into parody, now.

I'm still searching for it - it was bloody marvellous. Don't worry I'll find it ... eventually

PamDenick · 08/11/2021 21:34

Ooh, please show me that exchange? I don’t do Twitter...

FindTheTruth · 08/11/2021 21:31

Is this in response to that exchange on twitter which deserves framing?

@Cismyfatarse

Happy to donate to someone who wants to do it, and return with receipts. Do you think Posy might do it?
Take my money now!!! 😂😈😂
