BBC - Owen Jones

[DrRingDing]

Jacob Rees the human Mogadon - and friend of racists!

Fucking Bath wankers voting him in. I hate the South West sometimes.

That is Bath to be fair though.

good old rees mogg. When some charity noted an increase in child poverty in the uk his immediate reaction was to question how they define poverty


he won't even need a trial come the day

He won't even need a neckshot - his neck is so long and fragile, that a swift punch to the Adam's Apple (his is prominent) should not only stop him breathing, but break his pencil-neck too.

Big news, Owen is apparently the guest for this years Huw Wheldon Memorial Lecture, his talk is entitled "Totally Shameless: How TV Portrays the Working Class."

 

[treelover]

He is doing well, but there is a noticeable absence of industry players in the audience, who would normally be there for such a prestigious event, I wonder why?

 

[RedDragon]

Doesn't he ever change the record? It's nice of him to stick up for the working class - albeit in a self-appointed manner - but no wonder most of his audience has slipped off to the bar.

 

[treelover]

Well, I thought it was a good presentation, well argued and incisive

 

[RedDragon]

... but no wonder most of his audience has slipped off to the bar.

Oops, spoke too soon.

Owen on the evils of drink Independent

He has moved to the Guardian, thousands of comments, as many as Polly gets.

 

[William of Walworth]

I'm liking his articles (all 3 of them so far )

Take Paloma Faith, one of the stars of the recent Brit awards. She is from Hackney, which in the same week was named as the local authority with the highest level of deprivation in England. Faith is now taking writer Owen Jones on the road with her in an effort to convince potential Ukip voters to change their mind. We need to start hear more of these voices of political opposition in popular music itself. Young people especially need some good to believe in.

Mmm, not sure how that will work, but seeing as he now charges for his appearances, this will help him.

actually I like Owen, but this has the hallmarks of a disaster.

Pound shop Russell Brand.

 

[treelover]

350 people paid 8 pounds ahead to hear Owen speak here at the Festival Of Debate, that's a fair few people.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

It couldn't just have been the boy wonder, though. Otherwise it would have been the Festival of Monologue. There must have been other luminaries on the programme.

 

[DotCommunist]

maybe you got a personalised dirty story as well

I saw that. He's from inner city Stockport isn't he?

Hope it doesn't start a gang war between the two manors

Think he was a school boy in Offerton but not on the council estate. I did ask him if he would come and give a talk in a couple of pubs in the less ' leafy ' parts of Cheadle but didn't get a reply.
