Urban v's the Commentariat

[Theisticle]

I've never heard someone use the term, "the gays" now I can only imagine her saying whilst doing inverted commas with her fingers.

Boycott Workfare have used twitter and other social media to great effect.

I tweet quite a lot, Twitter can b great for some things. What I think is silly is the arguments ppl get into on there where all anyone is interested in iz looking clever & making their opponent look a mug. U don't get the intelligent nuanced debate that I've found on urban

"the gays"?

What's wrong with LGBTQQIAAPO? Has it been cast aside in an irony fisted coup?

QUILTBAG or death

Would it be fair to generalise that after a few pages of generalisations that the rest of her book will be more of the same?

Signing petitions, supporting Obama, cheering the liberals. I see *nothing* in this that doesn't support her claim to be a revolutionary anarchist

She quit because tightfist Eldritch was paying her only £75 a week or something. At that time I was getting £150 a week *plus* room and board in a pub. I could've got her a few hours no probs.

yeh but back then she didn't realise that come 2014 neo-liberals would be dogging her tracks.

Owen Jones having a pop at Ian Bone in a piece about the Eton polar bear youngster. This'll go well.

In a recent anti-austerity protest organised by the People's Assembly, Bone's Class War crew decided not to target, say, George Osborne or Iain Duncan-Smith, but mocked up an admittedly amusing banner featuring a still of me from a BBC programme clutching a bottle of champagne, adorned with the emphatic words: "Fuck off back to Oxford." Bone is a disciple of Mikhail Bakunin, a 19th-century Russian anarchist whose aristocratic family owned 500 serfs, and of the even more aristocratic Russian Peter Kropotkin.

This background-baiting unites Bone with the vitriolic right, many of whom remain silent about class privilege until it becomes a convenient means to attack a leftwinger.

I reckon that as part of a Labour/CW #payback2015 pact, OJ has agreed to give Ian "the mention" every so often.

 

[butchersapron]

I think Oxbridge should have an automatic enrolment for the brightest working class kids.

Jones' partner is eton-educated btw

How can anyone who calls themselves socialist argue in favour of reforming Eton??

 

[J Ed]

Why isn't he arguing that all private schools should be reformed to the ground with the people defending them inside?

Mocking an Eton boy's death is the worst politics of envy

I can't believe that he agreed to write an article with that heading.

The revolution will be brought about by the autonomous construction of ethical personal brands by privately educated Oxbridge journalists or it will be more than a little bit racism/sexism/politics of envy

Bastille Day and all.

 

[J Ed]

BTW OJ has been a bit quiet about the paedophile thing hasn't he, is it because Labour people are implicated?

Reform...with extreme prejudice?

They could have come up with something more tabloid-friendly:

'Bear-faced cheek' springs to mind.

Just got banned from Owen Jones' 'like' page on facebook for pointing this out
