It was Big Train. Great sketch.

AlwaysComingHome · 12/06/2019 22:35

My mistake. It was Big Train

Lordamighty · 12/06/2019 22:37

This is one story I do hope the papers pick up & print.

FermatsTheorem · 12/06/2019 22:37

In the week where Oxfam is finally being held to account for sexual assault/rape/sexual harrassment perpetrated by their staff from really senior levels all the way down to their high street stores, it beggars belief that someone with even half a brain could look at a situation where the country's biggest charity for children, with a special interest in safeguarding, turns out to have a senior member of staff (responsible for safeguarding) wanking in the staff toilets, filming it, and posting it online in such a way that it was easily searchable, and immediately think that the biggest problem with this situation was "kink shaming."

I thought Owen Jones was merely a misogynist. Now I am forced to the conclusion that he is thick as mince to boot.

Still, if this is what's going on behind the scenes at the NSPCC, it explains a hell of a lot about that no-show car crash of a webchat on here a few years back.

Likeazombi · 12/06/2019 22:40

I used to wank at work sometimes. Im not really sure why now looking back.
What I didn't do was film myself and then link the video to my linked in profile.
What is wrong with these men?
I'm seriously worried about kinks becoming acceptable, especially near children.
Someone I know shared a link on Facebook yesterday of oj slamming Boris for his racist remarks and being let go from positions.
The worst thing about oj is that he's a massive fucking hypocrite.

AlwaysComingHome · 12/06/2019 22:40

We should post that clip to the NSPCC...

terfsandwich · 12/06/2019 22:55

NSPCC probably has "gender neutral" only toilets, or mens and unisex.

Owen Jones @OwenJones84
I look forward to all of those who have argued the very few sympathisers of the main opposition party amongst Britain’s opinion writers aren’t really journalists, and shouldn’t have a media platform, turning their fire on a newspaper which is just Boris Johnson’s propaganda organ

Well Owen, I have talked about this before... and I rather like the tag Journalians that Nick Cohen coined for politicians who pretend to be journalists. And have you ever considered by the Telegraph got its nickname the Torygraph?

Yes Owen, we do criticise others for being commentators not journalists. You are not being fucking persecuted. You aren't special.

(Looks like he's going Grey Rock then...)

FloralBunting · 13/06/2019 00:24

Looks like he's going Grey Rock then

Totally his only option. Self preservation kicks in just far enough to set a dim light blinking with an alarm that says "Abort! Abort! Desist from comment! Pretend no one heard you!"

BlackeyedGruesome · 13/06/2019 00:25

it reminded me of the oxfam debacle as well.

OccasionalKite · 13/06/2019 00:40

OJ has been defending male sexual rights again.

He has no idea at all about the safeguarding of children. And I find that chilling.

teawamutu · 13/06/2019 08:04

Just watched that video for the first time. Dear god what a petulant little twat.

Hi Owen.

Everyone Wave to Owen.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egosurfing
Egosurfing (also Googling yourself, vanity searching, egosearching, egogoogling, autogoogling, self-googling) is the practice of searching for one's own name, or pseudonym on a popular search engine in order to review the results. Similarly, an egosurfer is one who surfs the Internet for his or her own name to see what information appears.

Can we write your next article for you?

Is cesspit of transphobia an improvement on nest of vipers I wonder?
Telling use of words. What Owen is showing is how women - especially mothers - repel and disgust him. He is one messed up little guy.

I preferred the toxic hotbed. At least it had pillows & a duvet.

RedToothBrush · 13/06/2019 20:59

Lets help Owen out with his writing by numbers

Synonyms for bed
bunk, cot, couch, crib, mattress, bassinet, bedstead, berth, chaise, cradle, davenport, divan, pallet, platform, sack, trundle

Synonyms for poison
bacteria, contamination, germ, toxin, venom, virus, Cancer, adulteration, bane, blight, contagion, corruption, infection, malignancy, miasma, toxicant, toxoid, venin

I think 'cradle of contagion' has a nice ring to it don't you think, plus MN and cradle go pretty well.

Grin Trundle of transphobia? Bassinet of bigotry?

GraceMarks · 13/06/2019 21:41

A couchette of contagion.

Private Eye from last year. An almost perfect parody of LOJ.

FACT: no jellyfish has ever stung anyone. Reports to the contrary are simply hate-filled propaganda and an insult to commonsense

JackyHolyoake · 13/06/2019 21:53

The reference to "cocophobic thugs" made me laugh out loud!

"Nearly 13m people didn't vote Labour to see cocophobic thugs destroy our compassionate country."

finnmcool · 13/06/2019 21:53

I've just read something indicating that little Owen Jones, has a lot more love than expected for some Consertives.
Anyone else see that?
