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.^

[quote DancelikeEmmaGoldman]That was entertaining. Even his book is getting a pasting.

Oof. I like Sister Outrider's tweets about him.

Also seeing people seeing OJ outed someone! Wtf!

What is worth noting though is that most of the comments are funny or justified criticism none of it is actual hate. No one has said that they want to rape him or kill him.

Contrast : I would love to come but it’s my snails’ birthday to choke on my lady dick.

That is the difference between being a man and a woman with a controversial opinion and a man with a controversial opinion. He still wants to use all his white male privilege to silence people who disagree with him.

This comment sums up what I've always thought about Boyle:

Agreed on Boyle though, very much. That’s what rubs people up the wrong way about him - he is incredibly harsh in his comedy but absolutely cannot take it in return.

Owen loves 'calling out' other lefties - JK Rowling, Kerry Anne Mendoza - but presumably can find no faults in Frankie

Wonder why that is?

Omg, I love it. 🤣

thanks, that is a very cheering thread this morning.

The replies are funnier than Frankie Boyle has ever been. My favourite -

I can't imagine any man would want me to do the same thing to their clackerbags as I used to do with clackers In the 70s! Although....

I've just read the whole thing. Still only one guy saying that he's got a ticket GrinGrin

SophocIestheFox · 22/09/2020 19:43

Clackerbag Grin I learn new words here all the time. Love it!

That thread has cheered me right up. Both of them can dish it out all day, particularly to women, but they are famously thin skinned. they must be fucking furious 🤣 and hopefully very constrained in being able to unleash the pent up fury so they don’t piss Penguin off. Haha!

Bejeezus, the same day I was booked in for a bilateral nipple/clitorectomy. #whatarethechances

Just a word of warning, LOJ is on GMB tomorrow.
And no I'm not going to take one for the team Grin

Owen, why do you have a transphobic genital preference? Men with vaginas are men.

impossibletoday · 22/09/2020 20:42

What is the 'ratio'?

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.

Thank you @SunsetBeetch

impossibletoday · 22/09/2020 20:43

@Siablue

At the moment it is 738 comments to 138 likes. It tells you at the bottom of the tweet.
Thank you @Siablue
FreezerBird · 22/09/2020 21:02

The quote-tweets are worth a look as well.

AnyOldPrion · 22/09/2020 21:15

How do you find quote tweets?

FreezerBird · 22/09/2020 21:30

Under the original tweet, you can see the numbers of retweets and quote tweets; if you tap on quote tweets it should show them.

The ratio on this!

Loving this. Gold. And so heartwarming. Needed it today, tbh.
