Owen Jones

Now that the BBC has been forced to accept their bias and everyone seems to be u-turning, on both gender and the Isreal/Palestine war, how can the Guardian continue to employ and therefore support the views of Owen Jones?

I’m disappointed. I was hoping for a Whittle style ‘Of course Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Always has been. Whoever said any different?’.

It's a mystery why they still continue to give column space to Woeful Williams too.

LOJ is earning bags of cash with a huge following, so I guess his petulance and limited brain cells are a big plus for progressives. Must admit, I can never resist an LOJ thread😁

A piss take?

Surely not!

I cannot imagine how anyone could interpret calling him Talcum X to be anything other than a piss-take.

He writes regular columns for the Graun. I'm sure the paper pays him for them.

He's also a contributor for The National, an appallingly shite, poorly selling, SNP mouth piece of a newspaper here in Scotland, who did that smug, head tilty video about the National Library of Scotland and the book 'The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht' about which they were proven completely incorrect.

I've always assumed it's a compliment of some sort.

It's definitely a problem with certain sections of the gay community. They see the trans fight as a continuation of their own fight back in the day, when the truth is it is not even in the same ballpark and they are very, very wrong. Keep a close eye on Zack Polanski for the same reason.

It might be a particular thing with gay men who are just about old enough to remember their community having to fight for equality, but not old enough to have participated.

And then there are some gay men who are just misogynistic twerps.

Douglas Murray? I have to confess to finding him incredibly sexy, I don’t know whether it’s his looks, his posh voice or his public speaking.

I am however aware he is gay 🤣

I'll revise...

BOTH men whose photos are in that article are so handsome.

Douglas Murray is very phwoar though!

I think whoever came up the Talcum X nickname for OJ deserves some kind of award.

That's not fair. He can also be easily identified as 'YouTuber Owen Jones', as per that Douglas Murray article a few years ago.

I agree with this actually, he is suffering from a mental derangement I feel.

He is quite an extreme example but he's far from alone, unfortunately. They must have utterly miserable lives, stewing away constantly in their own hate and bile while the rest of us just get on with our lives.

Agree.

The Guardian figures nobody will know who he is without 'Little' in front of his name.

Does Owen Jones have a woman problem?

Certain journalists aren't allowed to express scepticism about the transgender debate

Owen has lost the plot and is basically now a Middle East advocate. Which proves my suspicion that it’s not about him advocating FOR anyone because he believes in them, just supporting whoever is the enemy of the West because he despises it. Which is odd as the West is one of the few areas he could live without persecution due to his sexuality. I really think for some people Gaza is a mental illness (and I’m not saying that flippantly), and he’s one of them.

The Grauniad doesn't employ OJ though, do they?

@Davros I have found it is not, but lots say it is. I did not have a TV for 4 years and did not pay and was harassed so thoroughly, that I would have paid £200 to make them go away.

In 2019 non payment of TV licence was responsibly for 23% of prosecutions of women, in 2023 12%.
