OWEN THE BULLY


If you met Owen Jones in a boozer and someone told you he was a 'bully' you would probably spit your drink out.  However, this is the age of social media and according to an article in Private Eye, Little Owen has been the subject of several complaints of cowardly online bullying using his Twitter account.  With more than a million followers, when Jones goes after people on Twitter he invites a pile-on.  Ironically, when someone criticises him they are swiftly blocked (we have been blocked for several years).  Clearly the lad can give it, but he cannot take it (no gay pun intended).

All three complainants are reportedly female journalists from The Guardian, for whom Jones is also a contributor.  The last two complaints arose after the reporters wrote articles in defence of women's sex-based rights, at odds with the far left's current fascination with 'trans rights'.  Private Eye claims that the most recent complaint led to an independent investigation sanctioned by The Guardian.  An extract from the report was quoted in the article: "We find that Jones breached the social media guidelines as he used social media to air an internal dispute and as his use of language and tone were found to be personalised - demonstrating, in our opinion, a lack of professionalism".  The report is also said to have condemned Jones's 'failure to recognise the impact of his actions when considering the size of his following on Twitter'.

The report was apparently delivered last month, around the same time the wee lad was delivering a speech about how to be more 'kind and accepting to colleagues'.  Private Eye says the report was to remain strictly confidential and many at the newspaper are unaware of its existence.  That certainly appeared to be the case when Jones tweeted a brief statement from his employers denying that no-one had been found guilty of bullying.  However, the statement added: "Many colleagues have had to be reminded about the organisation's social media guidelines, which discourage people from personally criticising colleagues on Twitter".  So, perhaps more than a grain of truth after all?

While many of those on the receiving end of Jones's Twitter pile-ons welcomed the claims, as always the wee lad could rely on his commie pal Ash Sarkar for support...

GUARDIAN CANCELS WOMEN

Absurd gender-neutral terms are becoming more and more commonplace these days.  The term 'fishermen' is no longer used by the BBC, having become 'fisherpeople'.  Cricket will no longer use the term 'batsmen', replacing the word with 'batter'.  Such terms may appear on the surface to be aimed at inclusivity and equality, but that is not strictly true in all cases.

On Saturday The Guardian published an article that referred to 'pregnant people'.  The article, which can be found here, refers to 'pregnant people' and 'breastfeeding people' throughout and not once is the word 'woman' or 'mother' used.  This has nothing to do with inclusivity and equality, this is abject denial of biological fact - only women can give birth.


The topic of the article creates an irony in itself.  Pregnant women are being urged to get vaccinated, or 'follow the science', something that The Guardian appears set on ignoring.

The timing of this article is also curious, given that the newspaper had spent the last few days deploring violence against women.  Here are just a few of the headlines featured in The Guardian recently, including one published on the same day as the 'pregnant people' article.



And after all this they go and cancel women altogether.  Keir Starmer and his women-denying colleagues will be proud.

ABBOTT'S REPARATIONS HYPOCRISY

Diane Abbott has lashed out at wealthy Tory backbencher Richard Drax in classic commie fashion.  On Sunday she demanded that he pay 'reparations' for his ancestors' involvement in the slave trade (see tweet below).


Abbott was referring to a Sunday Mirror article printed last month in which class war-style language lambasted the 'super rich' MP and linked him directly to the slave trade, despite the fact Drax himself has never known any of those involved as they are long dead.  Who is he to repay anyway, seeing as the slaves are all dead too?

This is another example of the 21st century version of communism manifesting as Black Lives Matter.  The wealth-related wedge these Marxists once drove into society is now just as much about dividing people by the colour of their skin.  It's also full of hypocrisy.  The Guardian Media Group is worth 200 times more than Richard Drax and was founded on the back of the slave trade.  Where is your outrage about that, Diane?

SUZANNE MOORE QUITS GUARDIAN

Journalist Suzanne Moore has quit The Guardian newspaper after more than 25 years following a campaign against her by trans activists and their hard left allies.  Moore was targeted in March after she wrote an article defending a professor who had also fallen foul of the trans lobby.  Within 48 hours a letter was printed in The Guardian condemning Moore.  The signatories included two hard left Labour MPs (Nadia Whittome and Zarah Sultana), the co-leader of the Green Party and commie journalist Ash Sarkar.  Over 300 Guardian employees also wrote to their editor complaining of 'transphobic content'.


Moore's offending article had discussed the historian Selina Todd who was targeted after she addressed a meeting of a feminist group.  Women's Place UK is designated a 'hate group' by the Labour Campaign For Trans Rights, merely for defending the rights of women as opposed to men who identify as women.  By speaking up for Professor Todd, Moore was fair game in the eyes of the increasingly tyrannical trans lobby.

Moore announced her departure via her Twitter page and changed her bio to read: "She left because she understood the value of defiance".  She took a parting shot at her employers two days earlier, denouncing The Guardian's decision to run an obituary for the Yorkshire Ripper.

There will be no shortage of outlets for Moore to continue writing.  In the past she has written for a wide variety of publications, from The Independent to the Daily Mail, something that she alluded to in a defiant tweet (see below).


Far from claiming a major scalp in their cancel war, the transfascists have merely created a powerful martyr with a grudge, and one who can now potentially reach a far greater audience beyond the dwindling readership of The Guardian.  Losers.

INSINCERE APOLOGIES

Grime artist Wiley appeared on Sky News yesterday to discuss his infamous anti-Semitic rantings and although his interview was heavily edited it suggests that he really is as unhinged as his Twitter meltdown suggests.  He repeatedly justifies his actions and doubles down, becoming highly animated and almost aggressive when faced with fairly innocuous questioning.  Anyone who refers to their own fans as 'fickle' has clearly lost the plot.  He points in his interviewer's face and declares: "I'm 41 years old".  Well, in this interview he behaves more like a spoilt ten-year-old.  Astonishing footage, watch below.


In our report on Wiley's Twitter outburst we mentioned that Jeremy Corbyn had quietly cut ties with Wiley on social media.  This only made the mainstream news yesterday, four days after we reported it.  That's poor journalism, but by far the worst of yesterday's Wiley-related news coverage was seen in The Guardian.  Hilariously the newspaper published an article on its website condemning online racism, but used a photograph of British rapper Kano - mistaking him for Wiley.  The icing on the cake of their faux pas was the fact the article had been written by smug tit Owen Jones.


The Guardian rectified the error an hour later and replaced Kano's image for Wiley's.  It has since issued multiple apologies, as has the author (see video below).  Proper cringe from the left-wing rag that supports the toppling of slave traders while founded on the proceeds of the slave trade!

GUARDIAN CARTOONIST BINNED

Steve Bell

Controversial newspaper cartoonist Steve Bell is to leave The Guardian after 39 years.  Following news of job cuts at the troubled newspaper it has been confirmed that Bell's contract will not be renewed.  Bell has attracted criticism over the years for various cartoons, most notably several depictions of Benjamin Netanyahu that drew accusations of anti-Semitism.  In 2012 he depicted Netanyahu as a puppet master holding Tony Blair and the then Foreign Secretary William Hague.  In 2019 he repeated the 'puppet master' trope, this time drawing Boris Johnson and Donald Trump as Netanyahu's puppets.  That cartoon also featured Labour's Tom Watson as a 'witchfinder' character who was hunting down anti-Semites in the party (see below).


Among Bell's defenders was none other than the then Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell.

In recent years Bell's trademarks have been his renderings of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson.  He always draws the US president with a toilet seat for a head while Boris has a backside for a face.  The PM appears like this in what is perhaps Bell's most infamous cartoon - his unashamedly racist depiction of the current Home Secretary.  In March this year he drew Priti Patel as a cow, an animal that is sacred to Hindus.


The newspaper refused to remove the cartoon from its online content and neither Bell or his employers apologised.  Would they have dared publish a cartoon of a Muslim politician as a pig?

Bell's contract doesn't finish until next year, so Guardian readers will have to endure his shite cartoons for a while longer - unless the rag goes bump between now and then.

GUARDIAN WRITER MOCKS INJURED POLICE


The disgraceful scenes in Whitehall last night should have been universally condemned, without hesitation.  However, far from condemning the violence, many on the left not only justified it, but took great delight in seeing police officers getting hurt.  The Guardian's Owen Jones looked to shift blame onto the police and demanded that horses be banned from future protests.  He did not condemn or even refer to the missiles that were hurled at both police officers and their horses.  He did not discuss why the horses were deployed in the first place - to drive rioters away from colleagues on foot who were being pelted relentlessly.


A few minutes earlier Owen had retweeted Brexiteer Darren Grimes to point out that he had incorrectly claimed that an officer who fell from her horse had been knocked off by protesters.  "A straightforward lie" was how Owen put it.  It's not quite as simple as that.  As you can see from the video below, the officer does indeed strike a traffic light, but the horse was bolting at the time.  The horse is clearly running ahead of the rest of the police line in panic, as missiles continue to rain down.


It was on this tweet that one of Owen's colleagues - Hannah Jane Parkinson - makes the following comment/request regarding the video footage.


While many reacted angrily to her callous remark, it didn't take long for someone to accept her challenge.  The resulting video edit was met with gratitude from Parkinson who said it was 'perfection'.


Another video edit to the same pop song was also met with a thank you from Parkinson, but other users piled in with criticism.  One user pointed out that while they were unhappy with the use of horses, what Parkinson was finding great delight in was "not a movie".  She defends her position be saying she wasn't gloating and that she hoped the officer was OK.  This is clearly not the message she conveyed in her initial comment and doubles down by describing the re-edit as 'funny'.  Her assumption that the officer is OK was ridiculed by another user who points out that Parkinson doesn't know that she is OK.  We now know that the female officer (not a guy as Parkinson describes) suffered a collapsed lung, broken collarbone and broken ribs.  Hilarious eh, Hannah?


Parkinson, probably at the behest of her employers, issued an 'apology' of sorts on Sunday morning.  However, it wasn't so much an apology as a justification and highly disingenuous given she published it on Twitter with the tagline: "I can't believe I'm doing a notes app apology like I'm Justin Bieber".

Welcome to the hateful world of left-wing journalism.

THE GUARDIAN'S WISHFUL THINKING GRAPHIC

The Guardian's left-wing bias is no secret, but their general election graphic is a little over the top.  It features five of the party leaders arranged in a rather unorthodox order.  Corbyn is pictured first, in front of the PM, perhaps an indicator of how they hope the election result pans out.  It certainly doesn't reflect current polling, that's for sure.


Then again, why wouldn't Jeremy be on the far left?

GUARDIAN CLUTCHES AT STRAWS

Yesterday the Guardian published a rather hapless article in which it claimed that Jeremy Corbyn could win a caretaker vote by a majority of three.  However, the accompanying graphic suggested otherwise (see below).


The graphic actually shows that Corbyn would fall well short, with 17 "unlikely to back him" and 18 who could potentially abstain.  The table draws some illogical conclusions.  There is no way that all but one Labour MP would back Corbyn.  John Mann has already indicated he would not support the vote of no confidence if it was aimed at stopping Brexit, so he's even less likely to support a Brexit-blocking Corbyn government.  Mann is not the only Corbyn critic either.  Very few independents would back Corbyn, in particular those MPs who have quit Labour since 2017, such as Ian Austin, Luciana Berger, Frank Field, Chris Leslie, John Woodcock and Chuka Umunna.


The Guardian is desperately clutching at straws.

ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM

The left-wing press were clearly over the moon with the Peterborough result, but the quality of the coverage differed per rag.  The Mirror couldn't hide its delight, dedicating an entire article to ridiculing Nigel Farage, while the Guardian had a more measured approach.

The Guardian article is significant because although it addresses several key factors in Labour's victory it fails to address the most glaring issue - the elephant in the room.  Yes, we know all about how Labour is a well-oiled electioneering machine, they've been at it for the best part of a century whereas the Brexit Party were at it for a few weeks.  Yes, we know all about the postal votes and how the overwhelming majority of postal votes always appear to have the Labour box ticked.  There were reportedly 6,000 postal votes in this by-election, that's almost as many votes as the Tories could muster in total.  It's a solid tactic, routinely deployed in Labour towns and cities up and down the country.  We know that.

But why does the Guardian not mention the 'M' word once in its article?  We said before this election that this ten per cent Peterborough demographic would be vital for Labour to succeed.  The Great Leader knew this only too well and exploited it to ultimate success.  The Guardian may not have mentioned it, but perhaps they didn't need to.  This was the picture they lead with...


The elephant in question usually has a beard, slaps his woman around a bit and prays five times a day.

LAMMY TOO MUCH, EVEN FOR OWEN

Dave Lammy's absurd outburst on Marr this morning appears to have been so extreme even Little Owen was stumped for words.  The narcissistic Guardian gobshite spends half his life on Twitter, but remarkably no comment on Lammy.  However, his Guardian colleague Carole Cadwalladr lapped it up...


"Phenomenal".  If you've never heard of her before, Carole dedicates her life to investigating (some would say inventing) conspiracy theories that the Russians were behind the election of President Trump and of course, Brexit.  Remind you of anyone?

GUARDIAN NAILS IT (FOR ONCE)

MPs had spent months hammering the government over failing to forge a decision on Brexit.  Last week MPs voted to 'take control' of proceedings and last night they reached a decision themselves - on absolutely nothing.  Eight times they voted and eight times they failed to reach a majority.

Today's Guardian front page headline summed up the latest farce perfectly...

THE GUARDIAN'S FAVOURITE SPONGER


"A particularly inarticulate form of political comment".  Words used to describe the vandalism of Karl Marx's grave this week, but which could easily be attributed to the attacks on two World War II memorials two weeks prior.  The Guardian was obviously concerned about the Marx damage, it followed up its initial report with a 'whodunnit' report.  And yet, strangely, there is no mention of the moron who threw white paint over memorials to RAF Bomber Command and Churchill/Roosevelt.  In fact, it appears that the Guardian hasn't reported on this particular incident at all.

Who'd have thought it?  The Guardian more concerned about a jobless German sponger than the heroes who fought to save our own country from tyranny...

FACEBOOK CENSORS STRIKE AGAIN!

A very popular meme we shared on the Facebook page yesterday disappeared earlier today.  Clearly someone was unhappy about its content and went crying to the tech giant.  Their Dublin-based monitors would be forgiven for perhaps censoring it based on the use of the c-word, but no.  They took it down because of 'hate speech'.

This follows the removal of previous posts related to grooming gangs.  Facebook clearly doesn't appreciate criticism of criminals!

MOST SHARED: WEEK 182

When some trainee British Army recruits bumped into Tommy Robinson last week they asked for a photo with the campaigner.  Clearly delighted with the encounter they probably didn't imagine the national furore it would trigger.  One of the lads was discharged and the others were condemned by politicians, the top brass and an hysterical media.  The Guardian ran a disgusting headline labelling the entire British Army 'far right'.

We thought it only fair to point out that rather than pose with British soldiers, the leader of the Labour Party would rather pose with terrorists who advocated the murder of British soldiers.  A BTLP original, this was shared 1,617 times via our Facebook page.

LOONY BIN LABOUR CONFERENCE

by Richey Edwards

Corbyn loyalists are cock-a-hoop about this year's Labour conference, but they're very much alone.  Only the most blinkered leftists could fail to grasp what a laughable disaster it was.  Step up Little Owen...


The 'best speech' by a very poor public speaker is actually lame praise, but to claim the left is 'winning every argument' is hilarious.  The left, presumably led by Momentum, failed to achieve any clear cut victory on Brexit at the conference.  No clear policy has been adopted going forward, just more of the same ambiguous gerrymandering whereby Keir Starmer says one thing and his colleagues say various other things that contradict him while Corbyn is stuck somewhere in between apparently clueless as to what the 'policy' is.  The only thing that speakers agreed on was that any deal should be voted down in order to force (another) general election.  This is a miscalculation of foolish arrogance on Labour's part.  The public won't appreciate Brexit being frustrated domestically and will be even less enamoured by the prospect of yet another general election, particularly one which the opposition believes is a foregone conclusion.  Furthermore, this conference will have shown the public that the prospect of a Labour government is a nightmare scenario.

Every day of said conference exposed the crazed communists within.  There was the teaching assistant who announced that 'proper education' in schools would stop children becoming Tories.  There was Laura Smith (MP for Crewe and Nantwich) who called for a 'general strike' in order to force a general election.  There was the 'deep state' conspiracy theory propagated by Corbyn advisor Andrew Murray and his call for 'mass protests' if Labour didn't get its way.  Finally, there was the sea of Palestinian flags that greeted a speaker as he raged about Palestine, an issue that is of little, if any, concern to the many watching that display on their TV sets.  Such outlandish speeches connected with very few beyond the conference, except to announce that the Labour Party is totally unelectable and unfit to govern.

If the lunatics having got back inside the asylum was bad, to make matters worse the shadow cabinet appeared to contradict each other on a daily basis, and not just on Brexit.  Rebecca Long-Bailey was flummoxed on both Brexit and John McDonnell's 'shares for workers' policy.  Diane Abbott delivered a trademark numbers gaffe, Corbyn couldn't recall his six 'Brexit tests' on the beeb and running throughout the conference was the Corbyn versus Watson undercurrent.


While Corbynistas routinely blame 'right wing news smears' for negative coverage, such was the lunacy on display in recent days that the left wing media has now joined the howls of disapproval.  Marina Hyde, one of Little Owen's fellow Guardian columnists, summed up proceedings as a hub of 'paranoia' and 'Momentum robots' awaiting the next 'Brexit split/foreign policy row/man-versus-machines infinity war'.  The Mirror bemoaned 'crackpot Labour loons'.

If the Guardian and the Mirror can describe the Labour Party in such terms then perhaps the revolution is lost before it can begin.  Labour are clearly unfit, divided, deluded and dangerous.
