ive noticed people who are opposed to cancel culture are often fine with it when it's them doing the cancelling Grin

ive been annoyed with this little sprout since he associated 'chavs' with the working class. They may have WC heritage,, but quite not anymore...

Nasty little twonk

Good. He's a vicious little misogynist.

The Guardian used to be such a credible paper. I wouldn't wipe my arse with it now. Private Eye have covered it well.

LittleWhingingWoman · 13/04/2022 14:13

I wonder if more women will come out to say he's done the same to them? This is one the Mail and Times need to pick up.

@EmbarrassingHadrosaurus

Like Bercow and Patel, when do any of these people face consequences for their behaviour?
I would say that not getting a peerage or a Commons pass matters very much to John Bercow. OJ has deliberately encouraged pile ons against so many people women knowing that those he is complaining about have far fewer followers willing to take a stand against him but I do think his behaviour will catch up with him eventually.

Good prediction to think he might go to the US.

Summary: I admire much that private eye do, but on this I'm going to ignore them and the independent investigation and instead fling round accusations of homophobia and transphobia

And we now also have the obligatory multiple tweet thread (I mean, going on forevah) reversing and deflecting. He is really the one bullied by Ms Moore, doncha know.

I mean, really ...?

Datun · 13/04/2022 14:27

I wonder how that right side of history is working out for him.

Yes, how weird but completely typical. You'd almost have the impression that Private Eye carried out the investigation from these tweets.
BacklashBacklash · 13/04/2022 14:35

I wonder what he'll do if other media outlets pick up the story. Slur them too, I suppose.

EsmaCannonball · 13/04/2022 14:50

Hang on, wouldn't falling out with Benjamin Butterworth make him a racist too? Grin

Link please? Couldn't find it.

Yes - unless Jolyon is accusing Private Eye of making up the story, he should turn his ire on the independent investigator who found LOJ guilty of bullying. Private Eye is simply reporting the facts.

I’m sure it won’t be long before Maugham declares this as a victory for OJ

Artichokeleaves · 13/04/2022 15:20

Gosh what a surprise. I am surprised. Were you surprised? I was surprised....

Brat of a man.

Lynnthesearesexnotgenderpeople · 13/04/2022 15:32

He is very quiet on Twitter today. I wonder if he is realising that the game is probably up for him acting in this way? He wrote a big long thread the other day about the spat with Suzanne Moore and how none of it was his fault obviously, and clearly no one gives a fuck! So how is he going to get out of this? What else can he do? No one is going to buy another long Twitter thread about how everyone apart from him is such a big meanie, but he doesn't really have that many outlets does he? He can do a podcast on it - hardly anyone watches the ones he does do, considering he has 1 million followers. He can hardly write a Guardian piece on it! I doubt the viewers of Jeremy Vine on 5 are going to care.....

Like the recent case with Runnymede Trust?

@Pluvia

Who on earth would have predicted that Little Owen Jones would turn out to be a man who loved bullying women? Hmm
I know, it's a shocker all right. I'm sat here scratching my head wondering how it took so long actually.
MrsOvertonsWindow · 13/04/2022 15:36

Bullying women does seem to be a feature of these men doesn't it? Rather than a bug.

everythingcrossed · 13/04/2022 15:41

Re: Maugham's tweet, why would Private Eye writers get in touch with him to express disappointment about the magazine's stance on trans issues? That sounds a bit... well, I won't say made up but unlikely?

EdithStourton · 13/04/2022 15:42

Talcum X is officially a misogynist?

Colour me surprised.

And I'm not sitting here sniggering at him being caught out in his arrant hypocrisy.

No, not me.

WarriorN · 13/04/2022 16:29

And yet....Ben Butterworth has said that he was bullied by OJ many times.

(I know, I had to double check.)
