Owen Jones has relentlessly persecuted women online, including his own colleagues. An external investigator brought in by The Guardian has found him guilty of bullying a female columnist.

I doubt he will face any consequences. Unfortunately.

I was just thinking about little OJ and how he used to be a serious columnist. How the mighty have fallen.

Interesting to know that the Grauniad was concerned enough to actually do something about his conduct, although I seriously doubt he'll face any consequences.

Disgusting little misogynist.

News that will shock absolutely no-one......

I’ve just seen this and I’m so angry. That little creep is a bully, gaslighter and liar and the management at the Guardian have allowed this to carry on!! I hope he’s now suspended/sacked.

Odious little twerp

Well they could have saved their money and just read his public Twitter account to know all that, but whatever.
What are the Guardian going to do now?

Like Bercow and Patel, when do any of these people face consequences for their behaviour?

Getting a report is not really doing anything about it though is it? As you say - where are the actually consequences? Where's the apology, the contrition, the change in behaviour?

So now what happens?

He's got another article in it today, grifting away. Is he just going to arse lick the Americans now?

Day after day I'm reminded why it was such a positive act in cancelling my paid for Guardian subscription

Nasty misogynist

Seriously though, what is his agenda?

About time he was called out on his misogyny.

Sack him!

At least his reputation is officially trashed now.

Everyone has known for ages that he's an odious little misogynist troll but he was able to maintain the charade of being a journalist. The Guardian are tainted by their association with someone who is, by their own admission, offensive, intimidating and a bully.

Gets popcorn for how he is going to wriggle out of this one on Twitter.

He is such an unpleasant little man. His stupid furrowed brow, the faux incredulous/puzzled look when talking about any view that he is not 100% on board with, the air of superiority that comes with everything. And I'm sure he enjoys deliberately pronouncing JKRs name wrong.

Prick

A report so secret that the complainant doesn't know "what, if any" sanctions would be imposed. And most of the Graun's upper management are in the dark as well.

Private Eye calls him a writer, not a journalist.

I think he is definitely going to do a Hopkins/Farage and set his sights on America. Who will be his natural contemporaries there though....Vaush?!

In shock news, man who doesn’t like women is mean to women.

I used to love The Guardian: now it’s on my list with Oxfam.

@Electrox

About time he was called out on his misogyny.

I may be wrong but I assume the more recent case might have Sonia Sodha at the heart of it in which case this highlights rather spectacularly why Owen Jones should not be leading/hosting/affiliated with any EDI/D&I event.

He is a massive prick and none of this is surprising but......I am against cancel culture in general and even Owen Jones doesn't deserve to be completely and utterly trashed in every way possible.

Yes, he may lose his job, but only if he has broken specific rules of employment, not just because some mob comes after him

The reason independently verifiable investigations take place is that management expect litigation. Its classic cover the bank balance defensive taticts. Failure to act after facts are proven increese the contingent liability if sued for bullying in the workplace. Acting to discipline an employee is easier and it helps build a strong defence if the employee is subsequently dismissed for cause.

At least this is now publicly acknowledged and might impact on his career. I'll lay reasonable money on him clearing off to the US one day soon. In which case, I'll lock the door behind him.

‘I am against cancel culture in general and even Owen Jones doesn't deserve to be completely and utterly trashed in every way possible.’

Being sacked isn’t being cancelled. I’m not sure whether he should sacked or not, but employers can’t let some staff bully other staff without following their processes.

Cancellations happen when due process isn’t followed. People just quietly lose contracts, no investigation happens, they receive no explanation. People distance themselves despite the fact that the person is telling the truth or hasn’t done anything wrong.
