Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

Hmmm, I think I too might need sending to the centrist dad rehabilitation camp


Absolutely no idea what Starmer did, but it must have set Jones off lol.

For what its worth I quite like owen Jones, but I think he is a bit too absolutist and almost puritanical in some of his stuff

The darling of the left. Our answer to Katie Hopkins.

He is whiney, I prefer reading his books than listening to him.

What have the ferrets done to deserve this! Outrageous stuff unfolding in the CA.

Wasn't Jones a massive and vocal Corbyn doubter at one point?

Think he was a late convert to the Corbyn cause, because he realised the alternative was this.

I hear you bro, and broadly tend to agree that it does feel like some demented offshoot of the Momentum Schutzstaffel have hidden out in the CA.

Have you actually met anyone who was a member of Momentum?

Considering the people who started and created Momentum are Jewish I'm sure they appreciate the Schutzstaffel shout.

Stop acting like a prick.

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.

Carlo vorderman is a 60 year old C list celebrity who has only just chosen to speak out against the conservatives.

Owen jones is a reputable journalist and author who has written some very good stuff on the fight for social justice in this country and been the prominent anti conservative voice in the media for the last decade.

When I quoted a post of yours about carol vorderman questioning her sincerity, you said, “anybody sticking it to the tories is good by me”, or something along those lines.

So why not Owen Jones? Why is he different?

I’ve muted him because I didn’t want his constant twitter drama on my timeline and do find him annoying on social media. That doesn’t take away from his credentials as a prominent voice fighting social justice and calling out the Conservative Party.

We need more people like Owen Jones in the media. Unfortunately when you speak about the things Owen Jones does you’re usually rounded up on by the right and the sensible centrists and portrayed as some sort of extremists.

I tell you to get off twitter because you seem to post a lot of links from questionable sources on there and it’s warped your perception of reality to the point where you think Owen Jones and Katie Hopinks are in some way similar.

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

Are you a 'follower' of Jones, Jim?

No I don’t use Twitter as it’s by and large full of nonsense.

Unfortunately he didn’t get knocked out but did lose and took a good beating

You did not need to try and windmill your way into a conversation in some misguided attempt to try and tell me that I am either not allowed to dislike Owen Jones or be of the opinion that his divisive grift is a similar MO to that other toad, Hopkins. If you want to take on board what being a pr*ck maybe consider this and add it to your list of being things that you got wrong.

He does exist outside twitter, la.

I take it that like me, @Charro and @Daveysgingerlovechild you too find him and annoying ferret?

So you want me to stop using twitter because you feel I hold a different view about Owen Jones to you, so I must be warped, but you are OK to keep using it because you agree with yourself? That sound about right?

You can dislike him all you want, not said anyone does or doesn't need to.

Yet, you can decide who is and who isn't a Shadow Tory and also jump to the defence of Starmer doing articles for the Scum. How is that working out for him?

A lot of my wifes friends are actually members of Momentum. I'm pretty sure them being teachers and counsellors and working in mainstream education they would love to be associated with Hitlers personal guard.
