He is annoying, shrill, and tends towards hyperbole but he has written a couple of quite decent books and can put together an argument,, which is more than the likes of Tanskiiiiiiii or Russ are ever likely to be able to say.

Chavs was a decent book. Have to say he was one of the few journalists from the off saying Isreal will go too far against Palestine after the October attack by Hamas.

I think he’s probably worth listening to more than carol vorderman.

I have him muted because he is very annoying but calling him a horrible little wretch, and comparing him to Katie hopkins just shows you up.

Vorderman has taken up a crusade to find tory illegality with the good law project.

Jones, like Hopkins, is an extremely divisive character who like her has built a career around this.

Telling people to get off twitter isnt a good look, especially when you then explain that you have him muted.

As I say, he is as divisive as Hopkins and even manages to annoy people such as yourself. Maybe reflect more than typing.

You said he is always wrong, is he though?

Jones' views are held sincerely, and he's a published author of several "serious", properly researched books, even if he has an annoying manner. I think it's partly because he looks about 12.

Hopkins just tries to say the most stupid and offensive things she can get away with for coin. She's a professional troll. She was finally booted from Twitter and dropped by the Daily Mail for calling for a "final solution" (her words) for Muslims living in the UK, and has been investigated for hate crimes. She doesn't even believe half the gross nonsense she comes out with.

They are not two sides of the same coin. That's a really bad, and unfair comparison.

Hopkins called migrants cockroaches and has monetised outrage against the most vulnerable in society.

Jones writes a book, highlighting discrimination against the most vulnerable in society.

To say they are as bad as each other is nuts.

As I say, they both trade off being divisive characters. You can try and spin off another narrative if that makes you feel better but it doesn't alter their MO.

As I say, both divisive characters that like to stir the pot and annoy people.

Are you a 'follower' of Jones, Jim?
