Penguin Books is publicising a livestream event.

Join @guardian columnist and activist @OwenJones84 as he talks to comedian @frankieboyle about his new book, This Land. You will also get the chance to ask your questions at this livestreamed event, so make sure you're prepared. Incredibly, they're charging for entrance. Shock

I don't think I've ever seen a tweet with 100% negative responses before. Plenty of them referencing Boyle's abhorrent so called jokes about women and people with disabilities. Here are just a few of the others.

Two men, who have blocked anyone who even mildly challenges their world view, are going to share their echo chamber with people who agree with them? Riveting stuff.

Will they be able to hear the questions if they're spoken by a female voice? (Given their combined distaste for members of the female sex?)

So sorry but it's my pet snail's birthday that day.

If you fill the audience with the women they've both blocked on Twitter, you'll need to hire Wembley stadium to accommodate them all.

I can just look down me top and see a pair of tits for free, thanks.

Sorry, I'm painting a millipede's toenails that day.

^I'm sorely tempted however I would much prefer to rub mustard in my eyes, it seems more worthwhile and ultimately less painful.
Best of luck with the event though.^

Thanks for the link, it’s cheered me up.

LizzieSiddal · 22/09/2020 08:02

They're taking questions?! You have told them right?

Is this our chance to ask a few pertinent questions?

I love the comment about the modern faces of diversity Grin

queenofknives · 22/09/2020 08:24

That's brilliant! The replies are hilarious!

It's true though - hard to imagine a worse way to spend a couple of hours.

KatVonlabonk · 22/09/2020 08:25

My question would be "why do you hate women so much?"

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 22/09/2020 08:26

I see it's not quite 100% negative. One lonely fellow said thanks, he's bought a ticket. He'll get their undivided attention, from the look of it. What a prospect!

Those replies are so funny. The thread is way more entertaining than anything those two have ever said.

@KatVonlabonk

My question would be "why do you hate women so much?"
That reminds me of the best question in the EL James Twitter Q and A:

Which do you hate more, women or the English language?

Siablue · 22/09/2020 09:02

This has cheered me up too. All the comments has stopped Owen from promoting it to his bully boys on Twitter (he has got a lovely Tweet saying something along the lines of I don’t hate all Jews just the ones who disagree with me though).

Frankie Boyle’s whole act is hate speech. I would be very suspect of anyone who would be happy to be in the same room as him. He has made jokes about raping women, punching pregnant women in the stomach so they lose their babies and mocking disabled people. A disability forum I used to be on put regular complaints in to the BBC about him and they never did anything.

I feel so angry that they think JKR should be cancelled for her views when even if you disagree with her their views are 100% more hateful. Owen Jones was wheeled out every 5 minutes to defend antisemitism and criticised the whistleblowers who were proved right in court.

I really hate these two for their hypocrisy so I’m pleased to so many others can’t stand them either. Grin

What is the 'ratio'?

How do you know what it is?

Siablue · 22/09/2020 09:07

At the moment it is 738 comments to 138 likes. It tells you at the bottom of the tweet.

It's nice to see men hating on LOJ as much as we do. I assume, although who knows these days.

WeNo · 22/09/2020 09:31

I dated a guy who was friends with Frankie Boyle's ex. She said he was a sh*t father to her DD. Instead of paying maintenance, he bought them a house to live in until the kid was 18. Then he'd probably kick them out after that... apparently that was the plan!
You may have noticed, if you've been unfortunate enough to watch his stand up, he talks a lot about his DS from his current relationship (assuming they're still together) but never his DD.
More proof, if you needed it, that he hates women!!

How do you know what it is?

If a tweet has more replies than retweets or likes, you can guarantee it's because people are disagreeing.

How repulsive. He seems to be full of anger too. I used to think it was part of his "act" - now I don't think so.

That was entertaining. Even his book is getting a pasting.
