Anyone on twitter seen this? Or responded to it? It seems to be a proper hashtag now.
(smile)
And BTW I have only been on mumsnet for a week and don't get the strange and outdated emoticon thing where you have to type stuff.....

I'd not seen #peakowenjones on twitter. Now there's some entertainment. For example, this:

I love women, just not the chippy ones with vaginas #PeakOwenJones

How has this jumped up little columnist got such a voice a sway? He hasn't the foggiest about journalism.

What's he done now?

nauticant · 25/11/2017 20:33

He doesn't ever do much now, it's more the drip-drip-drip of unthinking righteousness that leads to an allergy in anyone who likes their views to be based on evidence.

Owen Jones has said nothing that I want to hear since his article about Simon Danczuk watching porn. He's a little twerp.

LineysBum · 25/11/2017 20:41

He's so right on he's peaked and ascended to heaven in his own mind

HemanOrSheRa · 25/11/2017 20:43

Owen Jones - A Legend In His Own Lunchtime.

AnotherSpartacus · 25/11/2017 20:59

He is incredibly irritating.

He has a thread on Twitter where he's asking for topics to discuss on LBC tomorrow. There are a couple of gender-critical comments, but in case anyone else wants to weigh in:

busyboysmum · 25/11/2017 21:08

I can't see a single gender GC comment on there. Has he removed them?

norahnamechange · 25/11/2017 21:10

Ask him about the comments under his article about Paperchase and the Daily Mail? if you rank them the high rated comments are all blistering in their contempt for his totalitarian approach and lack of democratic understanding. He seems to be seen as rather a bully and a bigot ..... funny that.....

norahnamechange · 25/11/2017 21:12

I think he uses that skilled technique known as 'plopping'. He makes a comment and then of course can't back it up when challenged so just goes silent.

HemanOrSheRa · 25/11/2017 21:15

He makes a comment and then of course can't back it up when challenged so just goes silent. Or covers his ears and shouts 'Homophobe'. Or more recently I've noticed 'Transphobe'.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 25/11/2017 21:19

I found this to be a very interesting tweet from AlmightyBeccy On Twitter -

I have a theory about OJ. I'm guessing the 'Chavs' he set out to defend didn't give a toss about an Oxbridge twerp 'standing up' for them. Owen likes being a Christ-like Saviour, so he's taken on the trans thing cos they'll fawn over him for doing so. Thoughts? #PeakOwenJones

BeyondAssignation · 25/11/2017 21:23

Heman, I wonder if he is one of the mners who do the same thing..?

doctorcuntybollocks · 25/11/2017 21:25

Little Owen, the wee woke wazzock.

BeyondAssignation · 25/11/2017 21:31

I wonder how long before LOJ claims some sort of trans identity for himself....

HemanOrSheRa · 25/11/2017 21:31

Possibly Beyond. He will definitely be reading this Grin.

I think he likes a good 'right on' tub to thump. When it gets too hot to handle he moves on to the next new thing.

nauticant · 25/11/2017 21:34

Right. He's now attacking journalists on The Times. It's time for an email to Lucy Bannerman to help her along.

ginandbearit · 25/11/2017 21:37

I thought there was a strong patronising and homo erotic tone in 'Chavs' that while praising elements of working class culture and defending aspects of struggle and prejudice failed to acknowledge and condemn the very real acceptance and enjoyment of violence in some sections of that culture . Maybe he likes a bit of skinhead rough from time to time ...

BeyondAssignation · 25/11/2017 21:37

Does Owen Jones google Owen Jones' name often, do you think?

Owen Jones
Owen Jones
Owen Jones

HemanOrSheRa · 25/11/2017 21:50

Of course he does Beyond. Now, Owen Jones might think that this article has been forgotten www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/mar/30/simon-danczuk-mp-watched-porn-who-cares. But it hasn't. I am one of those awful middle aged lefty women, Owen Jones. The ones who have been in the labour party/trade union and work in Local Government for decades and I'm going nowhere.

10kToBe · 25/11/2017 22:01

I reached peak Owen Jones a while ago - even before he told lesbian women that they should be okay with sleeping with men with penises.

The way he speaks to and about people is disgusting

I have reached #PeakOwenJones and I’m proud! 👍🏼

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 25/11/2017 22:04

Do you have a link to Owen Jones talking about lesbians having to have sex with men with penises per chance?

My DH has been reading about him this evening after mildly liking him and he is just about hitting #PeakOwenJones.

nauticant · 25/11/2017 22:15

Owen Jones and The Guardian are inseparable in my mind. Both say "lalala I can't hear you" and are not worth bothering with.

Except for the purposes of disdain.

PricklyBall · 25/11/2017 22:24

wee woke wazzok has got to be my favourite description of the little cockwomble. Yup, I reached #peakowenjones a long time ago, but unfortunately he is the unwanted, unasked-for gift that just keeps on giving. Bit like getting nylon socks and coop own brand bath foam for Christmas.

LadyWithLapdog · 25/11/2017 22:25

Blimey, I like most of the stuff he says. I haven't been on twitter much or not recently but I find him ok usually.

I think some of the comments above are uncalled for (liking a bit of skinhead rough etc).
