I missed the original tweet but from screenshots it looks like Jess Phillips put up something well-meaning, but a bit tone deaf on how yesterday's far-right protesters don't represent who we (the UK) are. OJ has taken it upon himself to tell her how wrong she is, bringing his merry band of trolls with him.

I thought he might have been a bit tired after a full-on week of telling women why they're wrong, but nice to see he's got some energy left eh?

He is The Self Appointed Arbiter of Moral Authority.

Or just a new Church Elder

That's not journalism. It's just some fool with a loudhailer.

Off topic, but this drives me mad. "Isn't about you or me." Not I.

Ah, but the way to work the grammar out is to rephrase the sentence without 'you or'

"It isn't about me"

Clearly not a thought LOJ can formulate clearly, can see why he struggled.

I used to be a big fan of owen
I loved his chavs book. In fact i have it on my bookshelf.
It is disappointing what he has become in recent years. Just an agitator, trying to sow divison and identity politics whever he can.
He depresses me.
I think he is prob a very good example of how twitter has turned reasonable people mad.
He's not the only one and it has done the same to people of all political persusions but he typifies this phenomena imo.

[sashagabadon]

And he should have used "me" in that sentence

[DickKerrLadies]

OJ identifies as representing the left.

And we all know what it means to identify as something.

This is exactly it. He's like a left-wing Donald Trump - constantly tweeting into his echo chamber, slowly losing his grip on reality. It's a real shame.

To me, he's like a left wing Katie Hopkins. He agitates and causes divison just like she does, even within his "own side". It's both their reason for existing.
But he'll never see this similarity himself.

I'm re-reading Animal Farm at the mo. And I've remembered how someone on here many years ago nicknamed him "Squealer." Now I see his face morphed onto Squealer and hear his voice as I read.

(And I seem to recall that he vanity-searches himself, and back when the moniker was first attached to him, he was deeply offended by it. )

The thing about 'Squealer' which is so deliciously accurate, not only about OJ, but many SJW, is that so much of their attention seems to be focused on a creating a culture of fear befitting an Eastern European Stasi state circa 1958. It is utterly ludicrous that people are frightened to come out as GC. As the Newspeak dictionary continues its ceaseless redefinition of words, Orwell has never felt so prescient.
