Putting any possible homophobia and politics aside, Owen Jones is incredibly annoying. He reminds me of the yapping Yorkshire Terriers my grandparents used to have. You just can’t shut him up. I can see why he winds people up (obviously not condoning violence against him though). |  |

OJ goes out of his way to be as annoying as possible.
Not surprised someone stuck one on him.
Would be interesting to see if he was giving the blokes that smug grin and wind-up attitude he does all the time.
Not condoning homophobic or racist behaviour at all. |  |

I very much doubt he was asking for it (to paraphrase). From what I’ve heard about the incident he was disgustingly targeted by cowards.
I can see why people find him annoying, but I don’t understand why anyone would want to externalise any such feelings through violence. Stupid tvvats. | |

Having met Owen Jones on several occasions, he's a very nice bloke. Sorry to break it to you, but he seemed very level-headed, open and willing to chat about anything. No hint of pretence about him.
Nice that you fancy caving his head in though. |  |

I dislike his politics and his persona, which I find annoying, but in no way was he asking to be battered by a homophobic scumbag.
Owne Jones is the victim in this and deserves to be trusted as such. We should never give any sort of excuse to these people for their thuggish behaviour. |  |

I know these always end up looking like you get piled on, but that's twice in a short space you've made really odd and venomous comments about the bloke. Coupled with expressions of causing serious harm to people on the left.
It's a very worrying trait, it doesn't come off as joking either you seem to think it's totally ok.
As a vet who got very upset about the suggestion of links to right wing extremists and all that, to see you playing down the actions and beliefs of a bloke found to have neo-nazi links here, that's quite a lot to swallow isn't it?
Had a "lefty" on here made comments about doing British soldiers harm in NI back in the troubles you'd rightly feel aggrieved and targeted. But when you do this about Jones and see no problem with it, how do you think the homosexual and/or left leaning TWTDers take your comments? |  |

I've been playing nice with hampstead but honestly this stuff is too much. Once in a while may be understandable but we're now up to a couple of posts a week imagining/willing physical violence on others. It's strange.
Maybe there is a need for 'decompression' post-service for veterans, I would be in favour of that. But to think this kind of talk will fly on civvy street... nah, man. It's worrying. | |

Good post.
On a related note, I just watching an interview with Owen Jones and he took little pleasure in the sentence and showed admirable empathy towards a perpetrator who lives with that much hate.
He did raise an important point. These far-right thugs and their acts of aggression are not only being radicalized by the usual suspects in the right-wing political parties and media. But increasingly they've been legitimised by a centre that also demonises the left as hating Britain, loving terrorists, denying free speech etc.
The centre's facile and self-serving comparison of the "hard-left" (starting with social democracy and people like Owen Jones before moving left) and the hard right creates a huge danger for many innocent victims. And perhaps just as relevant a cause as the rhetoric from right-wing populists in the rise of all hate crimes over recent years. [Post edited 24 Jul 2020 22:27]

Said with no sense of irony or self-awareness whatsoever.
"Would be interesting to see if he was giving the blokes that smug grin and wind-up attitude he does all the time."
You have literally just invented a scenario in which you think it acceptable for him to be assaulted, with no consideration that he was more likely out for a drink and minding his own business. |  |

I have a great deal of sympathy with Owen Jones - he's very energetic in his approach to journalism which rubs some people up the wrong way but I've rarely seen anyone have their opinions and arguments treated so disingenuously and twisted out of their original meaning just so people can have a pop and sneer at him. Lots of supposed 'sensible' centrist journos and commentators seem to revel in mocking him, playing the man rather than the ball, and give him a far harder time than they do reprehensible figures on the right.
His open support for minority and marginalised groups sadly makes him a target for dickheads like the guy who assaulted him, and attitudes like the ones expressed by a certain poster in this thread are unfortunately not rare and will only lead to more things like this happening to someone else in the future. |  |

You need to have a long hard look at yourself and decide whether a normal civilised society is something you can integrate into.
As things stand, you’re an utter shambles. | | | |
