LeatherTrumpet 26-11-2017 01:47 PM

now there is a fkng surprise

ffs

:facepalm:

Oliver_W 26-11-2017 05:40 PM

What is there to even say about that? No-one really cares these days, as far as I know there's been no incidents, so what was he whinging about?

joeysteele 26-11-2017 05:54 PM

Love listening to Owen.
Really bright guy full of interesting info and facts.

Brillopad 26-11-2017 06:56 PM

The jumped-up twit is a total bore. Same old speil from someone who thinks his opinion is more relevant than others because he is a journalist. Self-absorbed bore.

LeatherTrumpet 26-11-2017 07:04 PM

he is a typical identifior of problems

the easiest game in town

it sounds great but he has no solutions in the REAL world

hence he isnt in any position to do anything

an empty vessel

Kizzy 26-11-2017 07:26 PM

He lives in the real world, do you think he lives in a make believe world?..

Social commentary on contemporary issues is interesting, you aren't forced to listen there must be some old UKIP rants from 2015 you could amuse yourself with?

Owen Jones, the man who fights against the demonization of the working class. Wrote a book ‘Chavs’ and won awards for that book in both New York and the UK before donating half his winnings to a campaign geared to stop cuts for disabled people.

Owen Jones, the man who stood up and made reasonable argument against austerity.
Fought for the LGBT community.
Defended Muslims and attacked the rise of Islamophobia.
Stood up against some left wing anti-Semitic opinions
and who remains a staunch critic against Trump.

No surprise that some people here can’t stand him. What a dreadful man! :fist:

LeatherTrumpet 27-11-2017 09:28 AM

the "working class"


:joker:


it stopped existing in like the 70s

Oliver_W 27-11-2017 10:05 AM

People who live paycheck to paycheck exist ... but it's hard to make the case for poverty when people on council estates have the same phone as Simon Cowell.

Either way, Owen Jones is a bit insufferable. I wonder how easy it would be for an LBC caller to make him have a sissy fit and storm off, like he did on Sky News.

bitontheslide 27-11-2017 10:14 AM

the guy is a complete knob

joeysteele 27-11-2017 11:37 AM

He knows his stuff and makes valid points,even when on question time,that catches the politicians out.

I watched his walking out at Sky news,he was on with that insufferable Julia Hartley Brewer woman.

He was rightly furious and offended at the line taken by the presenter and Brewer.
He was right to leave the ignorant pair to it.
I applauded him doing so.

Islamophobia - that over-used, tired old made-up word once again. Snore.

No possible career benefits for himself then - just a charitable guy. :joker:

How would defending muslims help a gay guy? He's a twat but I should think that came from ideals rather than personal gain.

Tired old made up word? all words came from somewhere. The human language evolves continually. What word should we give to people who hate Muslims... all new ideas will be gratefully received.

What word should we use to describe people who hate Christians?

Whether or not we need a word for people who dislike muslims, "Islamophobia" isn't the best word, as a dislike of islam as an ideology isn't exactly irration.

Maybe the twat wants a sainthood! Whatever, his ‘ideals’ are getting him a lot of publicity. Can’t keep his ugly mug out of the limelight.

Indeed it is not. The day we have a word for the hate of each and every religion rather than giving such a ‘honour’ to one particular religion is the day the word might, just might, carry any credence. Until then it is an over-used, tired old nothing word used by drama queens.
