"We should start a new campaign for actual free speech says @OwenJones84

It's time to take a stand"

Looking forward to him unblocking all the women he's blocked on Twitter and hearing what they have to say. Free speech is for everyone, right?

He’ll certainly consider it if the police record a ‘non crime hate incident’ against him!

Trading Standards has warned consumers to be aware of a glut of Fake Owen Joneses on the market in the run-up to Christmas. Samantha Richards, Senior Counterfeit Goods Investigator with the organisation, advised shoppers to take photographs of feminist writers, such as Hadley Freeman or Suzanne Moore, into stores when making a purchase. 'If the Owen Jones doesn't launch into a pious, lengthy diatribe full of stock-phrases and self-contradictions upon sight of the photograph, it may not be an Actual Owen Jones but a cheap dud, knocked-up in North Korea.' Richards added the public should report any retailers selling suspiciously self-effacing and logical Owen Joneses to their local Trading Standards Investigation Team.

Well what are parents to do when you queue for hours for the season’s Must Have present then find all the Actual Owen Jones’ have sold out.

Is an Actual Owen Jones this year’s Christmas must have? The new Furby.

A bag of hot air is a suitable substitute.

I am now seeing an AOJ x Furby bastard child.
It is the stuff of nightmares.

Do you think actual free speech is the same as literal violence in LOJ’s mind?

You can make your own AOJ if you can't get one in the shops.

Buy a set of bagpipes and simply replace the chantor with another drone. The result is a windbag that just drones on and on. Your DCs will never notice the difference.

Omg I'm laughing so hard.

Free speech isn't 'being allowed to talk about ideas you like but shutting up people talking about things you don't like'.

Nor is it about shouting loudest on twitter and intimidating others.

Free speech is about facilitating difficult conversations about controversial topics in a way that's open and honest and allows for even difficult views to be expressed but not via intimidation. This may include offending individuals if there is a point to the comment.

Little OJ standing up for free speech whilst telling women to stfu is hilarious 😂

Anthea Turner made a good one on Blue Peter with loads of sticky back plastic. Ask a grown up before using scissors!

Has Actual Owen Jones ever Actually visited Actual Mumsnet to tell us how we’re all so horrible and wrong?

Wouldn’t a MN Q&A with AOJ be great?!?

Shall we ask MN to ask him?

He’d turn it down, but YES!

Proper LOL (or Actual LOL in the new parlance).

He’d last two minutes before huffing off and then telling Twitter how mean we all were to him.

Besides, like he’d want to risk his purity status by associating with us terfs…

OMG yes! I'd love to see his face! 😂

Woo a fancy new name for a Saturday night. I feel all empowered and righteous!

I agree with this. I wish the UK could just be neutral in all these other foreign conflicts. Other countries getting involved in wars almost always exacerbates the problem.

Oh, that's excellent! I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to explain to a pair of Brazilian colleagues why I burst out laughing...

Anyway...

Does anyone else have the notion that Twatter should be alive with lots of Real / Actual Owen Joneses, like Billy Bragg?
