Lil' OJ is being demolished as he tries to defend Bergdorf etc

Look now if you're interested as it will no doubt be deleted soon.

Defending wankers in the work place. It seems Owen Jones has finally found a campaign that fits him to a tee.

DickKerrLadies · 14/06/2019 12:04

What a wanker.

DeRigueurMortis · 14/06/2019 12:53

Wankers Rights Are Human RIghts!

That one made me spit out my tea!

Good to see James Kirkup on top form - he's certainly taken the gloves off wrt the last part of the article.

We see you BBC and Guardian - yes we do.

Have these outlets not considered that their failure to accurately report this story by omitting the reason MB was "fired" contributes to the notion that child safeguarding is a lesser priority than continuing to pour uncritical adulation on an adult with track record of poor judgement because of their gender identity.

It's a good un; I'm not always convinced of the posters true intentions.

Owen may be reading this, but what about bosses at the Guardian?

Like it or not, Owen's "forward" position means he has become, to many, the face of the Guardian. And it is a seriously unattractive, misogynistic, face.

I was never a subscriber but used to read it daily. I gave up a few years back, essentially when Corbyn became Leader of the Opposition, and the Guardian adopted a full-on, rather preachy, Momentum, approach. Though I still read the sport and the occasional feature.

No more. I find the Owen Jones misogyny offensive. I do not read newspapers for whom this is mainstream, indeed admiral.

(I doubt it will worry OJ for a moment. I am one of those people who barely exist in his woke world, and certainly don't matter.)

Needmoresleep · 14/06/2019 12:57

To add to the doily?

TWAW = Trans wankers are wankers

DuMondeB · 14/06/2019 13:02

I actually want to start cross stitching these and posting them to Owen c/o The Guardian.

GrinitchSpinach · 14/06/2019 13:10

I made something for Owen. I call it Wanka Carta.

(I did consider putting something in there about poor King Harold getting it in the eye, but thought that might lower the tone too much...)

Grinitch- brilliant!

dreichuplands · 14/06/2019 13:17

That would make an excellent cross stitch grinich

GrinitchSpinach · 14/06/2019 13:22

Thanks! Unfortunately I am not so womanly as to know how to cross-stitch, but anyone who does know should feel free to use my design. Grin

p.s. In case any pedants stop by, I am aware that it wasn't William the Conqueror who granted Magna Carta, but the Bayeux Tapestry meme maker is irresistible. Also figured mixing Monty Python in should be a good indicator I am not going for meticulous historical consistency here.

Ooh, I found your image randomly and edited the colours to make it more visible to my old lady eyes, Grinitch !

Not your image, duh, the wokey blokey one.

Yours is much funnier

Doyoumind · 14/06/2019 13:29

OJ has moved on. He won't respond to any criticism but I don't think he'll be revisiting the story.

Loved this tweet on the thread though Grin

Is it possible to be an incel and a mum?

Did we all buy motherhood at the sperm bank?

Fucks sake. Talk about magical thinking.

I think we need a new online version of this:

Unfortunately (unsurprisingly) there is a completely tangled web of overlapping interests and shady links behind it all: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1138020606228815872.html

MenuPlant · 14/06/2019 13:49

Of you don't see wanking at work (in the open plan office / filming and putting on net etc) as an issue then I suppose his comments make more sense.

This seems to be a theme, and it's all about men. Men and their eternal fixation with their dicks.

Goosefoot · 14/06/2019 13:50

Oh come off it. Making amateur porn at work is gross misconduct in anyone's book

Look, as far as I know almost everyone thinks that, but getting people fired is often not straightforward.

Now, I am not in the UK, so the laws are not identical, which obviously would make a difference. It seems that here if something is done in a toilet, it's considered private. There was a case of an employee masturbating in a toilet at work a few years ago locally to me, and it went to the courts in the end, and what made them agree he could be fired is that the other employees could hear him.

What my sister said was that in reality, in all the cases she had fired people in public or semi-public employment sectors, only twice did they NOT pay the person off in the end. It's just not worth it in most cases to go through the whole process or arbitration the courts etc, especially if they can claim some kind of bigotry, mental illness or something like that.

I find that all too believable whether or not I think masturbating at work and putting it on the internet is misconduct.

Fibbke · 14/06/2019 13:51

Making pornography at work is illegal. Men are not allowed to do this.

MenuPlant · 14/06/2019 13:52

Oh lol at doing this at work filming putting on net is not gross misconduct ie out the door.

Seems you definitely have different way of doing things in whatever country you are in.

This is in UK. What happens elsewhere in world is not relevant. This is a UK company based in the UK!

MenuPlant · 14/06/2019 13:54

Don't mislead readers by suggesting that this is not really a problem in practice, just that they are not with the times when it comes to employment law and expectations around behaviour.

Just looking at little OJ's tweets

Co ordinated attempts to get him fired?

Weird.

Fibbke · 14/06/2019 13:58

For the four hundreth million time. Stop saying this is not a sackable offence. It absolutely is. (Im an employer, have hr advisers and also work with unions)
