You're completely right. It appears that an independent, external investigator paid by the Guardian and Observer to assess the situation after he was accused of "bullying" upheld both the complaint and another one in which he was accused of having driven harassment towards another writer.

This is a good deal worse, as the paper has already preempted any accusations that their internal complaints system is biased against him! Thank you for pointing it out.

@DisgustedofManchester

So the Guardian has clearly stated that Owen Jones was no found guilty of bullying anyone. The OP is nothing but a smear attempt
Do you have a link to the official statement published by Guardian please @DisgustedofManchester?

I'm watching the clip of LOJ & Nimko Ali - OJ just does not listen to her. He goes on & on about the term "bumboy" even after she's said it's homophobic.

I don't think he likes women particularly.

ExMachinaDeus · 14/04/2022 15:16

Nimco Ali is a Warrior Queen!

FOJN · 14/04/2022 14:32

He comes across as such a petulant child.

Yes he does and it's amplified by Nimco offering to buy him a pint and being totally unaffected by his behaviour.

@Organictangerine

Owen will only associate with women who unquestioningly go along with the gender woo-woo anyway eg Ash Sarkar.
Anyone else been almost choking on the irony of some of Ash's comments? She had the bare faced cheek to write 'drumming someone out of public life on the basis of a lie is a profound abuse of platform'. Wooooooooow.

@FrancescaContini

He’s a nasty little prick. Hope he never works again and is reduced to cleaning public toilets.
Not women’s toilets, I hope.
paniquer · 14/04/2022 12:32

FrancescaContini I disagree as that would put him in a gatekeeping/safe guarding position.

True @Ereshkigalangcleg but BB is still the King of the shocked gasp

Ereshkigalangcleg · 14/04/2022 11:20

Butterworth is a thoughtless bellend but he doesn't hold a candle to LOJ in the obnoxious and nasty misogyny stakes.

Obviously I'm sorry to hear Ben has been on the bad end of OJ too.

There's a prominent gay man in twitter who's anti TRAs etc who commented that he or a close friend (can't remember details) had known OJ at school. Few liked him as he was a "gossip."

Well if Damian Barr likes him then I’m absolutely convinced he’s not a raging misogynist Hmm

Lynnthesearesexnotgenderpeople · 14/04/2022 09:50

Owen Jones thought that was such a gotcha against Nimco Ali, 'getting her' on the bum boys thing because she is friends with BJ.

But he is a total hypocrite, because you could throw the exact same thing back at him about his friendship with BFF Shon 'enjoy ur erasure, suck dick and get tits early' Faye.

He interrupts her constantly. May as well say ‘Shhh darling, let a man speak’

RoyalCorgi · 14/04/2022 09:46

@WarriorN

And yet....Ben Butterworth has said that he was bullied by OJ many times.

(I know, I had to double check.)

I think Benjamin Butterworth is to Owen Jones like Rugged Island's Father Cyril McDuff is to Father Dougal.

I don’t think Owen’s time is up. He’s the overlord of white middle class men who want to feel woke and ‘progressive’ while, of course, looking to another middle class white man as the authority on all of it.

The thing is, Owen doesn’t just want the TRA lobby to succeed, he needs them to - the alternative is he is exposed as a raging misogynist who ‘inadvertently’ advocates for women to be sexually abused and stripped of their rightful places in this world. Which will look very bad indeed.

AlisonDonut · 14/04/2022 09:20

I'd love them to now pick him up for faking a Guardian statement.

Surely, surely his time is now up?

BacklashBacklash · 14/04/2022 09:20

I really doubt the presence of a brain in people like this. The logic seems to be, "He was nice to me/did a good thing once therefore he definitely can't ever have bullied anyone." It's the most bizarre black and white thinking.
Oh and good to see Damien Barr (of the t-slur joke) agreeing with the idiocy.

Owen Jones has relentlessly persecuted women online, including his own colleagues. An external investigator brought in by The Guardian has found him guilty of bullying a female columnist.
Lynnthesearesexnotgenderpeople · 14/04/2022 09:19

You would think that if that Guardian statement is real, OJ would insist on them putting out something that doesn't look like it was bashed out on the Notes of someone's phone.

ResisterRex · 14/04/2022 09:14

I half wondered if there would be a "my account got hacked" line at some point.
