Default Andrew Neil accuses Owen Jones of ‘SMEARS AND LIES’ and debate ‘HIJACK’ in major BBC

James O'Brien on LBC just
played this clip on this link

He said everything Owen Jones said is true
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/10...es-accusations

[The row was over Mr Neil’s role as chairman of Holdings Media Group,
which publishes the conservative leading Spectator magazine.
Mr Jones claimed the magazine had “defended Greek neo-Nazis”
and published Islamophobic content.
Mr Neil fired back commenting: “I knew you were going to bring that up and I won’t let you hijack.]


[Writer Owen Jones was accused of spreading “smears and lies” last night
by BBC host Andrew Neil, during a heated
row over promoting bigotry during
an appearance on the ‘This Week’ politics show.]





Monday, that Vile Protester that hassled the Conservative MP , also got his gang to hassle Owen Jones

I recorded This Week BBC1HD
I just watched it full
Even though Owen Jones was told that's the End of the Interview
he stayed sitting there,
so once Andrew went to say "round up of the week" video
I am sure Owen carried on about the Spectator Magazine. (Off Camera)


Andrew Neil
stated he has No Control over the Editors
of that magazine.


So Owen at the end of that interview Fecked UP

Its a long interview
that went wrong at the very end.

Owen said Andrew was Naive
that is very wrong.
He also ignored Andrew who said
he has NO Control Over the Editors



Sadly Owen Jones lost it
and tried to Hijack something that has Feck All
to do with that BBC Show
to be fair.



I like Owen
its good to have balance
but last night he screwed that interview
and got angry on live tv.

Owen is generally spot on in what he says.
I don't mind Andrew Neill usually but I would say good for Owen.

Do you not get it?
That Magazine has nothing to
with the BBC show.


Also Joey
Andrew has no control over what the Editors
say on that magazine.

I prefer impartial presenters, bias is no good for anyone, arista, not in presenters

Jones did public service by drawing attention to Neill's compromised position
Neill's "impartiality" is as fake as his hairline

And self-promoter, self-seeker Owen has never been more 'spot on' than in all the many times he has spoken the truth about Corbyn and stuck the knife in his scrawny back - 10 instances of which are listed below:

1. “Jeremy Corbyn, a person who will never win a British general election… I know him personally and I know he never wanted to be leader; It was presented as a sense of obligation. He never anticipated this result and now leads the party without having any experience.” (Contexto y Accion, November 2016)

2. “The Left has failed badly. I’d find it hard to vote for Corbyn… They have made lots of bad mistakes. There’s been a lack of strategy, communication, vision.” (Evening Standard, February 2017)

3. “Since the by-election rout, [Corbyn] has made it clear he isn’t going anywhere without even offering the vaguest outlines about how to turn it around. That isn’t good enough: again, consider the stakes. Both he and his team have to think hard. If Corbyn decides he is unable to confront the multiple existential crises enveloping Labour, then an agreement should be struck where he can stand down…” (Guardian, March 2017)

4. “My passionate and sincere view is Jeremy Corbyn should stand down as soon as possible in exchange for another left-wing MP being allowed to stand on for leadership in his place: all to stop both Labour and the left imploding, which is what is currently on the cards.” (Medium, March 2017)

5. “Yes, it’s true that Labour has won all its by-elections since Jeremy Corbyn became leader, and increased majorities. But in his first year, the picture was the same with Ed Miliband. Neither did Corbyn do as badly in the local elections as was predicted. But Labour still lost seats — unprecedented for an the main opposition party for decades …” (Medium, July 2016)

6. “Corbyn’s acceptance speech — his first attempt to address the country — lacked coherence and had no core message to connect to people outside of the left’s bubble. He then disappeared for several days (with notable exceptions like walking in silence as a reporter followed him) while the press (inevitably) viciously attacked him, except to turn up to a war memorial and fail to sing the national anthem.” (Medium, March 2017)

7. “I’m somebody who campaigned for Corbyn, I’m a left-wing journalist. But I’m genuinely not clear on the policies being offered. It seems as though Ed Miliband presented his policies as less left-wing than they actually were, and now the current leadership presents them as more left-wing than they actually are.” (Medium, July 2016)

8. “When I asked Jeremy Corbyn in my recent interview what his strategy was, he came up with some sensible starting points… The problem is — that’s the first I’ve heard of it… There’s no point having a vision unless it is repeated ad infinitum, rather than being offered after being prompted: it will go over everyone’s head.“(Medium, July 2016)

9. “Most people don’t give a toss about politics on an every day basis. A bad image of a new politician at an early stage is tough to shift.” (Twitter, September 2015)

10. “As Jeremy Corbyn is surrounded by cheering crowds, Labour generally, and the left specifically, are teetering on the edge of looming calamity.” (Medium, July 2016)

And when - like Corbyn and McDonnell before him - Owen positioned himself as a left-wing “Lexiteer” who saw the sinister and corrupt EU as a 'bosses’ union' and urged the UK Left-Wing to Leave The Eu':

Back in July 2015, Owen Jones wrote an article for the Guardian headlined: “The left must now campaign to leave the EU”. He argued the left must “reclaim the Eurosceptic cause” and “run its own separate campaign and try and win ownership of the issue”, writing: “Such a populist campaign could help the left reconnect with working-class communities it lost touch with long ago… The case for Lexit grows ever stronger, and – at the very least – more of us need to start dipping our toes in the water”.

Yep - sometimes Jones is 'spot on'.

Neill is a crusty old right wing and former Murdoch arselicker. He has no business hosting a show on an impartial bbc. this is not fox. get rid.

All these old white men dripping poison into public debate. No wonder the young are put off by politics.

it's not about having two jobs, it's about impartiality, he can have a different second job that's not a problem, you do understand that?

tbh, cba with Neill, but good on Jones

I'm no fan of Andrew Neil, but he does a good job on This Week, it's a highly underrated program in my opinion
