BBC - Owen Jones

[butchersapron]

..and hjc has asked jones to donate it to the Tomlinson fund. Utterly typical of them.

How serious are these calls for a minimum turnout for a strike ballot to be made legit?

Just seen this, Owen Jones denounced as a "braying jackel" on Fox News:

 

[Stardark]

That guy and Jones deserve each other, though...

Love the way the anchor chucks in the word "appeasement". These fuckers are trapped in a feedback loop.

Does anyone know anything about negative attitudes towards poor people in other countries or have any links to stuff? Thanks!

 

[butchersapron]

History masters too. At Oxbridge as well.

 

[love detective]

anyone got any links to stuff and shit, leave them on my desk i'm off for brunch with the kebab bum finger

 

[rekil]

At the SP thing a couple of weeks ago, he said he'd speak at any left wing meeting. Victory to Spineynorman who while wearing his PD tshirt asked him to speak at a PD do.

Let's wine soon!

[love detective]

for folk like that that have so much disdain for people who eat their tea they don't have spend a load of time talking about/organising getting their own tea

Questionable Time: Iain Duncan Smith is no quiet man, especially when confronted by Owen Jones
Two ex-party leaders and Britain's foremost angry young man make for a heavyweight line up, but will a great show follow?

I very much enjoyed watching Owen get under IDS' skin last night. I am sick of the Tories controlling the 'narrative' about the real impact/implications of their welfare reforms!

It was also good to hear a bit more of a 'truth' with regard the Gaza situation although as this tweet points out, it shouldn't be this way!

Blimey, thanks everyone. But what a a shame that stating the bleeding obvious on telly is such a revolutionary act #bbcqt

I don't like OJ but he came across as an intelligent person last night. He did a good job of stopping all the major parties setting the bar of discussion and setting the consensus for the evening.

 

[weepiper]

i think he did a pretty good job, I'm not his biggest fan in some ways (he's altogether too pally with Laurie Penny and Ellie Mae O'Hagan for a start) but he was great last night. Getting IDS to drop the mask.

 

[Treacle Toes]

I hear ya. For me it's not a question of whether I like him or not, more because there is nothing more frustrating/insulting than to hear members of all three main parties saying pretty much the same thing whilst pretending to be 'different'.

 

[Balbi]

Getting IDS annoyed by naming someone who died after being assessed fit was grand.

He has got a degree hasn't he , surely he should be able to come across as intelligent

less serious after the PCC elections I'd say

I don't know about that, I have degrees.

I could only watch a couple of minutes. When did Kennedy become such a wanker?

Around about the time he discovered drink.

I see he still has that rosy glow to his cheeks.

 

[imposs1904]

He rattled Rod Liddle's cage, so he must be doing something right. Nice to see that the overwhelming majority of comments to Liddle's post is taking him to task.

You obviously don't know many students!

This man has no self-awareness did he actually think he'd get a round of applause for that smug 'oh I'm in Italy' crap?

 

[DrRingDing]

Looks like Capri to me. One of the most expensive playgrounds in Italy.

Hows organising the Firebox staff going?

 

[Firky]

I also can't look at Owen Jones without imagining him as Macaulay Culkin.

 

[shagnasty]

I thought he performed quite well and he rattled smith.that dimbelby is a tory cunt an insult to his father

 

[where to]

I thought he was excellent.

Actually weakest on the last question if anything. Really showed the rest of them up on Gaza. Saying Kennedy "disappointed" him on Gaza was a great, clever put down, worst you could give to generally likeable guy like Kennedy.
