Owen Jones

[heartofsunshine]

Now that the BBC has been forced to accept their bias and everyone seems to be u-turning, on both gender and the Isreal/Palestine war, how can the Guardian continue to employ and therefore support the views of Owen Jones?

Generally countries that don't allow gay marriage (like most African ones) also don't allow gay men to adopt.
If he really wanted to be a parent, then adoption within the UK is the way forward, but I suspect his public persona might make that a bit difficult for him.

Maybe he's looking for a surrogate.

I had thought he might try a co parenting gig with Laurie Penny

😅🤣

Does he have views on surrogacy?

Yes he and some other misogynist were looking for “broody lesbians”

I think some people wanted to know why he wasn’t asking the Misses Willoughby & Madigan.

Well quite 😂

Tldr: everything is Tony Blairs fault

It's an interesting subject, but Jones is so utterly blinkered and reactive I can't imagine he has any depth of insight at all.

I’m guessing that he thinks it’s all fine and that women who disagree are evil right wingers/religious maniacs who hate gay people ( I don’t) /judge the choices of those who don’t want to carry their own child blah, blah, blah.

That review reads a bit weird to me: 95% if it is an overview of the topics OJ is talking about (familiar to most readers, I'm sure), but it doesn't say anything about Jones' views and analysis? Does he have any?
