Britain’s Jamie Chadwick wins first-ever W Series title. She pocketed a prize of £410,000 and, having been signed as a development driver for Williams, she keeps up her hopes of making it into Formula One.People gather on the beach as a raft carrying people dressed as clowns heads to shore during the annual Whitby Regatta in Whitby, England.
Crybaby Jones is nothing more than propagandist with twisted Marxist views, Britain IS NOT and never will be an extremist leftwing voting Nation. It's got nothing to do with free speech otherwise he would have been silenced ages ago. It's time he had his nappy changed.
Owen Jones loves free speech but only if you agree with him. Otherwise you're a Nazi and then in his mind ok to punch.
So let me get this straight, he doesn't know who attacked him or the reason, is that what all this amounts to?
The difference is that most people will gladly condemn the attack on Owen Jones. Unfortunately, him and (many) others on the left still support violence as long as it's against someone they dislike enough (ie. Farage or Tommy Robinson).
Define 'far right' por favor y gracias
for the second time I'll ask you to provide one shred of evidence that this done by the far right. If it was, you get to out them for they really are. If you can't, your being deliberately inflaming, which is pretty much worse. Over to you......
Wasn’t far right. It was normal people who dislike Owen Jones.
“While these ja stil no proof of who, what or why, me thinks Comrade Jones Reaps what he sows Greyson”
Can I ask what evidence the Independent have that the attack was politically motivated? Owen himself stated the attackers didn't say anything to him.
So a middle class spoilt brat gets a dig. 🙄. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Crying like a fxxking bady.
So the same applies to Owns. Two extremists looking to censor each other out
Owen Jones thought it was ok when Tommy Robinson was assaulted in the street. I may despise Robinson’s views, but Jones can’t have it both ways.
Why do you keep reposting the same story making out it’s new? Very deceitful.
It looks like OwenJones84 has been busy deleting tweets such as the one I commented on where he reposted an animated gif of someone being punched in the side of the head by an antifa activist in 2017, he is a first class hypocrite
Opinion: a few people beating up a beta doesn’t equate to an entire group of people (far right)
And the far left endorse it? Any form of extremism is bad and that includes the far left. Climate change is a great example.
Far right? I hope not but at this moment the story stinks. We should demand evidence for the public since he has made it very public.
The far-right want the freedom to spread hate.
There is no proof yet that the attackers were “far right” and I’m yet to see you post about the regular attacks from the far left.... do any of your writers lean any way other than left, oh independent newspaper?
Trash
Since when did anyone think that the far right (or the far anything in political terms) 'love free speech'? If you are talking of political extremes, then they almost always censor other points of view.
The far left are far more friendly
Which 'far-right' are you talking about? Straight people, anti-socialists, married people, Christians, old people, business owners, those who have had a family member killed/abused/raped, or believe that democracy is a good thing?
What is your definition of far right?
How does anyone know they were farright? There are many people from all end of the political spectrum who think owenjones is a massive twat.
FreeAssange
And the proof is where?
There’s no evidence it was the ‘far right’ fucking ridiculous statement.
Couldn't it have been a nasty bit of gay-bashing?
Probably never happened. The boy suffers from Munchausen Syndrome.
Just more made up nonsense from the hypocritical Jones.
love how you tar 17.4 million people with the same brush as the lads who allegedly smacked him, hope you managed to get 17.4 million people on CCTV as evidence, all radical far left are liars & hate free speech and this proves it..generalisation works like that ..LOL
JussieSmollettHoax
whoever it was didn't do a good enough job
It wasn't a 'far-right' attack, it was far-fetched 🙄
don't believe a word of it give me evidence it was far right
You should really name the people who attacked Owen Jones . Not keep making insinuations about who did it . He could be stirring the pot because Brexit is getting close. That doesn't mean I condone anyone being attacked .
Are you still supporting Antifa bullies , who go around beating people up.
OwenJones84 Have you one shred of evidence? CCTV? Arrests? No. Thought not. JussieSmollett FakeCrime FakeNews ThickAsMince CrapJournalism
How?
Who is this ‘far right’ group you speak of and how does one identify them?
Owen should change his name to Captain Scarlet. Beaten up by 4 and not one mark.
I’m calling Jussie Smollett MKII
Nope, total lies. If he had of been attacked, he wouldn't be in any fit state to talk about it...🇬🇧 FakeNews
I'm atheist. Religion is never criticised. I'm centre right. Got to be far left or far right to get all media recognition . Nothing is neutral anymore. I expect more from papers but there finished.
It didn't happen! Where is cctv footage? In London there is always cctv! His face still looks as irritating and as unscathed as usual!
Let’s face it we’re all far right if we voted to leave. Jones and friends are what we are up against.
Does you have some proof it was far right? It may be an opinion but it's not a factual one without evidence. I could say I was hit last night by Owen Jones & his far left friends, no marks on me either to show a beating, it wouldn't be factual or provable, much like his claim.🤔
'check mate, bigots'
17.4m of us ?
Opinion: who ever wrote this loves watching their mum molest dogs
The far right hate free speech you fools.
We are NOT ALLOWED to jump to conclusions after terrorist attacks, but little Owen here is permitted to do interviews on many formats, repetitively And.... I'm guess a police investigation is under way...Mmmmmmm!!!!!!!
Proof? Who needs it if you are the mainstream media
Aaaarrgh! That was too much of Owen Jones's face.
What attack? Fake news
500,000 CCTV cameras in London. Have any found any footage?
Marxist propaganda.
What? The attack? There's 0 proof of the attack and if it did happen there's 0 proof it was 'far right' I mean how would he know at 2am in the morning? He has a few scratches on his side - looks like he fell down drunkenly .... HOAXXXXXX
The far right have never supported free speech, they are always rabid supporters of laws on blasphemy and censorship. The issue is accusing free market liberals of being fascist as a pejorative trope - which is a far left technique (i.e. it’s what the GDR called West Germany)
So you’ve caught and identified the attackers? Thought not. Rinse it
Nothing on cctv
Desperate for attention, pathetic!
Not sure there's the evidence, but lets not bother about facts.
Oi Independent.
What on earth are you talking about!!! People get decked after a night out all the time! What utter cow poo.
Where is your proof who they even are? fakenews
FAKE NEWS
'‘I want to be in a situation where no Tory MP, no Tory MP, no coalition minister, can travel anywhere in the country, or show their face anywhere in public, without being challenged, without direct action.’ John McDonnell. Direct action against communists is fair play.
1. Still waiting for that proof 2. How does this have to do with freedom of speech? Owen Jones is not being censored, as deplorable an attack on him is. 3. Owen was there when Nick Griffin was bullied and harassed by a far-left mob, so this is pretty hypocritical.
Waiting for some/any proof squealer Jones isn't lying... Will be a long wait
There's no evidence this was a politically motivated attack we only have Owen Smollett's word for it
The 'far right' are really just normal people that are sick of having Islam, and all that LGBT shite shoved down out throats. We want democracy to survive, we don't want to be silenced by the left, political traitors and MSM. The tide will turn and you bastards will pay.
Where's the proof? He's annoying enough on TV, let alone in a pub. Drunk anyone can react. Its sadly called life.
has no understanding of what “proves” means. No editorial standards. There still isn’t any proof that there even was an attack on Owen Jones. The state of the media in this country 🤦♂️
Now do Antifa.
Owen Jones supports political violence, doesn't he? Why is he complaining about it now it happened to him? Weirdly hypocritical...
Police found the culprits then? What party do they belong to ? Or, isn't it the case that no one has been found for this attack?
So you have the 'attackers' identified and their motivation all worked out? This is a dumb take, even for you
Nobody is saying he isn't free to say what he's saying. We'd just like a little more evidence before he points the finger.
Who are these far right thugs. Show me the evidence. I can guarantee all of London has cctv outside of public houses yet nothing has been released. It’s a desperate fabrication. How many guys was he with at the time. He’s a little liar
He looks good for a man that has had a beating
Is this the same Owen Jones that cheered and mocked Tommy Robinson getting attacked by Antifa? Am I supposed to feel sorry for someone that frequently encourages violence unto others? Sad little Owen...
Far right cabals haunting London pubs waiting for whiny far lefties sound far fetched; icould it be that someone who spends 24/7 provoking everyone to the left of Trotsky, and has promoted physical violence himself on Twitter, just went too far ?
Evidence?
Do me a favour, he adored being rough housed and man handled by a gang of burly sharp faced oiks.
Why doesn’t Owen prove he’s telling the truth 🤔
we dont careabout this, we care about protecting children from predators, something your paper seems to be avoiding with your fake news. Keep ignoring the real issues EpsteinSuicideCoverUp PrinceAndrew
Im trying to save money so can you tell me if it's cheaper to wipe my arse with toilet paper or your newspaper. It's not good for anything else. Looking forward to your response.
If you know who did it, report them to the police. If you don't then don't make inciteful assumptions.
How do you know this was a far right attack? Because a far left activist says so? What kind of independence is this?
Opinion. Not fact.
LOL .... 'main stream' meadia .. so balanced and reasonable ....
They do love free speech. Their own.
Where’s the proof it was far right, stop spreading the rumour until evidence proves it
1. there is no evidence whatsoever that this ALLEGED attack was committed by the far right 2. if he were to have been punched and kicked by a group of men he would be lucky not be seriously injured yet there isnt a mark on him apart from a graze on his back. I smell a smollet!
Where is the evidence that this was the far right.
Never happened.
Utter bollocks.
if this story changes or gets exaggerated any more I'm gong to puke! stop it, just ruddy well stop it. It's gone from a bump on the head to slamming on the pavement to approaching him with military precision!!!!!
The good news in all of this is there’s bound to be bags of CCTV around. The assailants will soon be rounded up or st least stills published seeking their IDs.
never happened
Inside job the police are questioning the whole of westminister an eye witness has picked out Corbin
He has no proof, rhymes with P
That's what you look like when you're attacked for telling the truth
didummmmmmms
This people is remainers clutching at straws it will get worse lies will be spreading like wild fire until we leave the EU cannot wait by the way! Because once we leave lies debunked 😱 far right is the new buzz word to try & tarnish people who they disagree with weak & pathetic
Brainless journalism
So you know who attacked him and know it was a far right attack, surely he or they have been arrested by now then.
Look, Owen crack on to some other blokes boyfriend who objected and blacked his eye!! Nothing to do faux 'far right'
This is childish nonsense. What is wrong with you people?
So you know who attacked him?
Far Right? Give me strength 🙄🙄🙄The thugs has far Right tattooed on their forehead or shouted far Right propaganda at him?
You have zero evidence for this piece. Very poor journalism no wonder you couldn’t keep a paper paper going.
Look at the outrageous claims he makes on Brexit. This is just another stunt of his!!
At one time - in the far past - you were a respectable news source. What the hell happened to you?
Oh the irony 😂
Bingo the narrative is bolted on to the Owen Jones fake attack
The author of that bullshit isn't related to dopey Laurie by any chance?
Where they wearing badges saying far right
All I know is a far left has fabricated a story of being attacked after a night out. The only facts we have is that he was out drinking (had a skin full) and upon leaving he fell over and banged his head!! There is no proof that has emerged of the people who attacked him!!
Didn't this Owen chap change his mind and call it a hate crime instead? If he can't get the story straight, maybe say so?
What attack? All I’ve seen so far are falling down drunk scrapes and all I’ve heard is Owen lying about being attacked by thugs. With candy floss?
So no proof that it was far right which makes it simply just a slanderous comment....So unworthy of you!!!
99% of the UK population hate this guy.
My son looks more battered than that when his kids have been jumping all over him, they’re girls btw.🤦🏼♀️😂
Where is the evidence that this was politically motivated?, there is none of course. Owen probably just annoyed drunk people who disgustingly used their fists on him. Unfortunately, happens all the time.
No proof at all just his words
And the connection to the 'far right' is what exactly? Are you aiming to be a serious newspaper? How are Owen's scratches?
Degenerate speech isn't free speech. TwoCanPlayThatGame
If he was given a beating, where's the damage? A few scratches he could have received from sliding down a wall. If he had been given a pasting, his face would be a mess.
Im still waiting for evidence of this attack that's not owens drunken ramblings tbh
What is this far right is it right of the new Labour Communist party? Owen probably attacked because he’s queer and defo homophobic attack
1. No proof. 2. No similar coverage of violence BY the left. 3. Attacks by muslims 'not the fault of all muslims' but any violence by anyone 'right-wing' reflects on anyone you deem 'right wing.' 4. Whoever attacked Jones (my money is on 'Change UK') bares sole responsibility. 🍻
No evidence it was far right, far left or that they even knew who he was. But as Owen Jones regularly condones far left violence on innocent people he's far from guilt free.
Idiots Jonesy Smollett syndrome
Zero evidence - still what can you expect from the not so Independent
Opinion: The milkshake attacks were from the far right. Opinion: The left say they dont like free milkshakes but the milkshake attacks prove they do Great you can just post anything you want after prefixing 'Opinion'
They like free speech just as long as you are saying what they want you to say other than that they don't.
Opinion: where is the evidence of this attack?
The anti 'political correctness brigade ' just don't want to be challenged. I spoke to a guy the other day who was an out and out racist. His problem was that people challenged his racism not 'political correctness'.
What if he attacked himself so lackeys like you would make this very point? 🤔
Listening to Owen Jones on the radio today. He seemed very sure the men who attacked him were far right people. Wondered how he knew? Did they introduce themselves?
And all this article proves is newspapers only see people as large demographics that cannot act with an independent brain
biffrbear Your having a laugh?
Do you think this is not hypocritical given his history of celebrating violence towards those who have differing politics? He's even advocated violence towards women who refuse to accept biological males (trans 'women') that demand to redefine womanhood exclusively on their terms
Someone is lying, that's for sure
So says a far leftie, prove who attacked him, if anyone, before blaming.
How do you know it was a Far right attack ?
And vice versa you've seen Labours war on tories yeah?
Oh Be quiet! So utterly fed up with this Right Wing/Far Right utter nonsense. Just sick of it popping up and being dragged into everything. Most people support free speech; are they all Far Right? Idiotic rubbish!
More like OwenJones84 is. Sounds like an early hour pub brawl.
Bollocks. Leftie activists cause far more trouble than any right-leaning person. Where is the PROOF of who attacked him?
One white middle class lefty who got into a fight does not mean storm troupers have been unleashed on our streets - get a grip
I thought this rag had packed up.
What?
1) No evidence 2)Generation iPhone and no one recorded it. 3)Owen lives in attention seeking cloud cuckoo land 4)Police notified or just social media? Thought so😂
British Jussie smollack?
A far right cat scratched Owen Jones who was pissed up on his birthday. Headline news
🤔Evidence?
Why no cctv?most pubs have them outside now🤔
They're al in it together. Any way to pedal their fake news and lies they can't help themselves. Truly shocked at how unprofessional and unethical our Media is.
If it had been say Nigel Farage who had been assaulted you wouldn’t have heard a whisper from the Independent. Independent- really?
To be honest until there is proof this was political its about as accurate as jussie smollettes case
Probably got slapped for being a lager lout and gobshitting about people who voted for Brexit are racist.
The independent?😂😂😂
Manchild defended milkshake attacks, but blames far right for an attack on him...without any evidence. His interview on sky went from 'it's not all about me', to my friends all got hit in the... melee, to race attacks. Unless he now sees himself as black....
Where is your evidence... just because pip squeak says so, you believe him....
Could you please provide evidence which backs up Owens bullshit story.
What attack?
The UK Smollett
Who's lying? Owen Jones? Yes of course he is. Jussie Smullet all over again.
Clearly, the title 'Independent' is way of the mark. Has Jones got a new book out or something?
Intersectionality to the point of insanity. Would it have been OK if he'd been milkshaked with acid.?
I smell Smollett..
These 'far right' thugs were very patient sitting in a pub until 3am - maybe it was just a few people he had pissed off during the night - after all he is very irritating - where I come from it take a lot less than OwenJones84 level annoying to be given a beating at closing time
Terrible journalism Making up stories without any evidence
ffs he attacks anyone who doesnt agree with him, free speech his way would be say what i say or dont say.
🤣🤣🤣 oh please keep the jokes coming, Independent. Your rag is a laugh a minute!🤣🤣🤣
If it was a targeted attack as he said, he would have been beaten to a pulp. 3am pub fight with a gobshite is more likely
Is there any evidence at all that this was ‘far right’ extremists other than Jones’ word? It’s not right that anyone is attacked, but the demonisation of very much centre right parties and politicians is not helping political discourse in this country.
you are the devil.
They only love free speech when they're doing the speaking
I sincerely hope you are going to come out and defend Tommy Robinson if he gets attacked again for highlighting the rape of our children..
3 people does not a 'troop' make.
Did the perpetrators say they were far right, were they asked. Or was he just being a nob as usual
Maybe wait for proof of the attack, and proof of motives too, before assuming either!
Talk about frothing at the mouth! If the people Jones encountered didn't speak to him how does he conclude they were 'far right'? Maybe he just annoyed someone in the pub? It happens up & down the country every weekend.
What’s the evidence that it was the “far right” that attacked the world’s biggest manbaby? Who’s not to say he and his chums didn’t have a run in with the others earlier in the night?
the far left (such as the independent) say they love free speech; the fact they defend muslims and illegals raping, bombing and killing us proves they are lying
Evidence? Lousy journalism.
Jones was off his skull and probably fell over, again.
I'm far right, I'm so far right I dont even know what I believe in anymore. However, I'm not a liar and I love free speech. You are dirty gossip column columnists. Slur mongers. Stop it. Otherwise, I'll let the far left mafia off the leash. They're so far left they've gone mad.
How can you print that. There is no evidence of a far right attack. You're peddling fake news.
Who are the attackers first?
Made up . Never happened .
Eh? How so? Bit desperate...🙄
What attack? Fake news!
The Independent is a loathsome rag
Owen Jones advocates violence against people he deems a Nazi. Maybe they thought he was a Nazi 🤷🏻♂️
Who says it was far right? Little Owen?
Not journalism.
Any evidence it was a far right attack or are we making it up? Be very careful as people will find cctv I’m sure
The attack on Owen Jones can in no way can be condoned but remember the attackers probably if they hadn't attacked him would have mugged an old lady they are sados feeling un represented ?
Wheres the proof? 'Journalists' do your job mongs.
Hate far right and far left but are you saying that it's only far right people that ever attack anyone? I'm betting it's not.
Maybe it is a race motivated, white-hating, homophobia attack by Muslim migrant. You can’t accuse far right without any proof.
Card holding victim playing the victim card.
Attack? If there was an ‘attack’ it was very likely in one of little Owen Jones’ dreams.
Define 'far right' because in the UK it seems that anyone who disagrees or is working class is far right to you lot 😂
What proof is there they where far right
What attack ? No injuries. No CCTV. No independent witnesses. What attack ?
To many shandys for this fuckwit which caused him to fall over and sustain a few scratches. Prat.
Oh so what your saying is there doesn’t need to be an investigation or a conviction as Owen Jones word is sacrosanct 😐
Depends what you mean by far right. Thw actual far right doesnt ofcourse. As soon as you cross the boundary between speech and violence then you are not a supporter of free speech but an advocate of fascistic behaviour. Just like using milkshakes to assault and intimadate
Did the shout 'we are far right' before beating him up? Asking for a mate.
Dear God!! What are you on about? Free speech should not incite violence
Sorry but it is outlets like the Independent that are far more at fault here... With articles like this finding it funny that someone was assaulted...
What fresh nonsense is this?
Uh prove that it was far right.
You always know these false flags as they have an immediate chorus of people and fake elitist news outlets trying to squeeze them for everything they can.
What these traitors call the far right is really just the vast majority of good British-UK citizenry who want to free and retake control of their great nation from the hands of treasonous sellout EU agents. They want to prosper as a truly free nation serving its own people.
Who attacked him. Have you proof far right thugs?
But it must be true its the independent
I take it some actual evidence of the attack and the politics of those involved has finally appeared! Please share it with the world. If I was sceptical I just might have started to wonder if there was ever any truth in Jones’s claims!
This is sounding suspiciously like another hate hoax.
this is bullshit,no one should be attacked, left or right
*it started with milkshakes* Don't bitch about it now.
I will wait for the police to discover who the attackers were before spouting such an opinion if I were you.
Well lets be honest, the left only support free-speech when the speech is coming from the left
The far left just hate.
*Wrong opinion eleanorkpenny
A truly pitiful statement.
Meanwhile, try some of this.
Um he don't show much evidence of being so violently attackd..any witnesses?
Would love to see the cuts, bruises and evidence the attackers were of the alleged 'far right' persuation.
'Attack' didn't happen.
It never happened.
It doesn't prove anything about anyone other than the 3-4 men that thought it was acceptable to attack half a dozen people that happened to be with someone they'd taken a disliking to, after a skinful, at 2am.
IF this attack happened at all there is no evidence for political motivation. a more plausible scenario is owen went on a coke fueled tw rampage and either hurt himself or pissed off the wrong person in the bar
There is no proof it’s far right but then everyone is far right to Owen if he disagrees with them
Still waiting for the proof... And the independent can go fck itself
They didn't really hurt him, did they? I'm guessing the 'far-right' assailants are at a racist and fascist political meeting right now planning to give their next victim on the Left a jolly good graze! TheRiseOfTheRight
You are making one assumption after the other without a shred of evidence. Let me help you 1. We don't know if he was attacked - HE says he was, just like Smollett 2. We don't know who attacked him 3. We don't know why. What we do know is = FakeNews
Errrrrm where is the evidencebit was any sort of political attack. Go out in any provincial town after midnight on a Friday and Saturday and the chances of getting attacked are actually very high
A fly could land on Owen and he would call it an assault 😂
Sorry have i missed the fact that the people have been arrested and questioned? how do we know they were far right? all this is doing is stirring up hate again
Proof they were far right?
Perhaps you should reflect on this.
The Inderpendant, for Mirror readers whose crayons ran out
Who perpetrated the attack? You seem to know more than the police
As much as I hate the fact he was attacked he is complicit in creating this culture with his support for violence against political dissidents
Has no idea who attacked him but knows it was “far right activists”🤔🤔I already knew Owen was a stupid little boy but this backs up my belief.
What evidence do you have of this attack? Smacks of Smollett
Since when has it been a troop of thugs lol...........Dont believe all you read in the papers, coz they're full of shit.
No one believes him, stop making false facts up , if he's looking for sympathy it's in the bloody dictionary between shit and syphilis !!
This far right you mean? 🙄
Hypocrites!
Well done, whole case solved, perpetrators caught, charged, tried and found guilty by leader writer. Who needs the police anymore.
He paid some of his left wing muppets to do it.
Nothing has been proved yet it could turn out to be a lover's tiff.
Who says it was the far right? Owen? Sorry, he's not to be trusted.
He look pretty well for someone who was kicked in the head. Not a scratch on him Who kicked him Mr Soft?
Fake news
Was it far right people who attacked him then?
The Countrys divided! And the gutter press like you just fuel the flames... You lost your impartiality/ and journalistic integrity years ago ... I hope Fake/ lie papers like you get your just rewards...
Jones said he didn't know who they we're, now they're far right, with brexit on it's way, why not spread some more shit fake news, FakeNews porkypies
Did it actually happen, I’ve got my doubts
Beeline straight for him and he got a back injury? Owen Jones is happy to remain silent on violence when it's the left so really he can have no credible complaint when this alleged assault took place.
Has it actually been established it was the 'far-right', or is this just more fanciful bollocks? And who, precisely, are the 'far-right' these days, besides anyone who doesn't agree with the standard tosh pumped out by the BBC or you lot?
I saw the interview with Owen Jones. He literally said that nothing was said to him. It is based on his hatred of others. It could be he is mistaken like he was when he cried & stormed off sky's set when they wouldn't say that the Orlando attack was homophobic, which it wasn't.
Owen 'jussie smollet' jones
Do some journalism and uncover some evidence please before making assumptions.
Has anyone been caught? Is there any proof it was a far right motivated attack?
I'm sure there are plenty of people in the UK who would like to slap him just because he's an obnoxious prat and that they have no interest in politics of any kind 🤔
The 'far-right' are a fringe group of society. They're skinhead race-supremacists with swastikas tattooed on their foreheads. Why on earth is everyone who disagrees with the left shoved in with them. If that's the case, society should shove anyone left of centre in with Stalin.
Why are you lying? The right love free-speech. Nobody knows who attacked Owen Jones. He is making shit up about the far right, because he was probably mugged by a Brownie (young girl guide) out collecting for good causes.
Maybe he was just beaten up because he's a sensationalist c**t? Either way the MSM like to push their agenda, what did they hand them ID cards saying we're BNP mate? Whack! Av' some of that! Lots of Far Right in Corbyn's neighbourhood of Islington isn't there?
Where is evidence police report any cctv..
How can you possibly say it’s far right? People get assaulted in the street everyday, particularly outside pubs at 3 in the morning, are they all carried out by the far right? Idiots
Is this the attack on owen 'jessie smollett' jones that you are talking about🤔
IF this was a far-right, pre-meditated attack then the far-right are really overrated as a threat. The marks look like he tripped on a kerb while holding a takeaway. Also, I see the media are pushing their ‘Listen & Believe’ narrative again.
Where is the evidence, any evidence whatsoever, that the motivations Mr Jones ascribes to his alleged attackers, are political? Is this simply a conveniently contrived after the fact justification? Mr Jones has a strained relationship with journalistic accuracy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very poor journslism..
Why does he not have a scratch on him ?
How about the attacks from Antifa ?
Where is the CCTV footage ?
Owen is the new jessie
Bloody hell not a good night out if ya don't have a fight pmsl
Seems the left don`t like journalists asking questions or free speech either ,milkshakes and all !!!!
'the far right' - anyone who's not a communist, works in the media or is Jewish.
How does anyone know why Little Owen was kicked in the head?
Who says it was far right, there is a vicious far left element in this country, they are always bullying and attacking innocent ppl , just look at the sick Antifa mob, you read about their bullying tactics every day, but never hear that those on the right are behaving the same.
But was it far right? I see no proof and a little scratch on soy boy
💤💤
the attack was fake! Where is the CCTV evidence!
The far/alt right don’t love free speech. That’s something they have in common with the far left.
Show me one far-right law in the UK that restricts free speech? The only body restricting free speech the UK is parliament - no far right MPs. But if the far-right do get into government, free speech will be lost, just as it currently is under the Tories and Labour.
I suppose it's an opinion piece, just a shame you have far-leftist activists writing their opinions in your 'news', more so that their opinions are biased and ill-informed.
Do you have proof this was, as the mind-reader Mr Owen said, a politically motivated attack by the far-right? have you see the CCTV footage of 3 men leaving the pub (as per Mr Owens own words), did they have skinheads and swastikas? or is this more FakeNews from FakeNewsMedia ?
He got a slap for being a div in a pub. It happens.
According to mommy's boy Jones they never said anything , they just kicked his arse . So speech doesn't come into it .
Has anyone of a far right persuasion been caught & charged? If not, why are you passing off speculation as fact? pisspoorjournalism
eleanorkpenny 👍article, but where has this bn proved to be a 'Far Right' attack please? Corbyn's fans accuse anyone they disagree with of being 'Far Right' or 'Nazi' just look at Lammy's speeches for instance. Does this constant accusation diminish the real Far Right threat?
Oh well we are already being blamed for everything so one more wont make much difference Nobody really cares about 99% of the msm and what they print as they are now largely irrelevant
I don't agree with what happened to Owen (if true), but Owen has himself outright stated that political violence is acceptable. Unfortunately, sometimes you reap what you sow.
Not a mark on him. Are we sure someone just didnt call him a wanker?
It my opinion that whomever wrote this bile is 100% ThickAsMince
Evidence for “far right” please, stop making things up
there’s NO truth in this as a far-right attack
The Independent has sunk lower than anyone could've imagined.Absolute shoddy journalism.Not an atom of truth or integrity....fkn pathetic farcical propaganda.
When a Muslim does something they’re “ Asian”. Why aren’t you describing Owen’s attackers as European?
Given the amount of CCTV near pubs in London and five witnesses there should be arrests very shortly and their links to the far right will undoubtedly be confirmed.
The thing with these Nazis is that they have to own everything, everyone. They hate anything and anyone that is not 100% like them and they'd kill to make everyone like them.
Can we ask where is the evidence that these thugs were far-right please As you appear to be claiming it as fact ...?
What attack, you've only got Owens word on that, where's the CCTV footage?
The far left say they hate free speech, the attacks on Tommy Robinson proves that they’re not lying.
But you don’t know who attacked him !
Didn’t The Independent Daily paper go bankrupt ?
Probably someone who just took a dislike to him , this happens in every town every weekend. Doesn't help that he is a knob tho
funny to say the far right speak about free speech when the far left use free speech to silence others they don't agree with oh the irony and just for the record if the far right did get hold of him he would be giving interviews from a hospital bed
And who exactly attacked him
Could be a left wing set up
Hey up it was 4-5 then a gang now a troop what next the SAS
Did it even happen ?
If one incident unconfirmed who the perps were, proves the right is lying, surely based on that logic the thousands of religious fascists killing people, grooming kids prove all are nonces and terrorists. Let's not have double standards
Evidence or it never happened
Far right? Like Jussie Smollet?
Why are you assuming the far right was responsible? Where’s the evidence? Owen Jones is far left so anyone to the right of him could have done this i.e. 99% of the population.
Have the people who committed this attack been revealed No they haven’t. How on earth do you know independent that the attackers were far right You don’t. Irresponsible journalism, again. A little regulation for MSM wouldn’t go a miss, it’s overdue
The truth is that Left wing figures are FAR safer wandering around London than people perceived to be so-called right wing. Livingstone, Corbyn, Milliband etc wander/ cycle safely and freely. This demonstrates that the real thugs are on the Left.
Anyone know who the attackers were?. No thought not. But the person who nobody has identified yet is far right.
How do you get beaten up including kicks to the head and have no marks on your head and face?
Owen Jones has provided zero evidence to anyone that his beating was politically motivated and not a result of his big mouth.
No evidence whatsoever anyone 'far right' attacked him. Another jussie smollet incident perhaps? Something doesn't ring true. I've been jumped before and I've also been branded far right and nazi which I'm neither. Am I allowed to blame the far left with no evidence then? Cool.
Where’s the evidence it was politically motivated? It was an homophobic attack a few days ago?
Is there any evidence that little Owen was attacked by the 'far-right'?
All the cctv and video phones yet no video evidence of an attack saw the scratches looks more like a fall in a Bush over a kick or punch to the face. So I call bullshit.
No one deserves violence like Owen has described. However this is just Owens account and as i can see no one else at this moment supporting his claims
Independent must be clairvoyant if they actually know it was far right attackers , Some lads go out looking for a fight , so it could be any ole fight ll do
The attack on Owen Jones proves they are lying, what proof is there it was far right, or politically motivated, and Owen in the past has refused to condemn political violence from the left.
Where is the evidence this is anything to do with the so called “far right” 🤔🤔
Where's proof .
Horrible it should happen but evidence please before engaging mouthpiece !! 🥺
It seems logical to me that Owen had a few too many bud lights and got abit silly silly on the dilly dilly and got a little slap.
It was the far right pavement that attacked him when he fell over after 3 glasses of Babycham
you know the alleged attackers? can you share their details
I doubt all but a tiny minority of pub goers have a clue who owen jones is. He probably got roughed up by someone who thought he was objectionable and drunk.
There is no proof who attacked him. So how can anyone blame someone right wing. It could be someone left wing unless we are not being told something
Could you please show me the evidence. I want to use it for an article. I’ll wait here!!
Really?...
So hold on. Your deffinatley sure the attack happend. You've seen video evidence.? Phone vids of the so called horrific attack And Jones isn't talking shite. I think you need to get used to the idea that it never happend. It's a thing.
Remember when journalists had to provide actual proof instead of wild speculation to fit their agenda.
What has the attack on Owen Jones got to do with it?
So genius, because the far right says it loves free speech you conclude that they attacked Jones?! Logic is obviously your strong suit.
Evidence of who did this would be nice. Just saying
Evedence substantiating the claims ? Or is that biased assumptions to suit an agenda.
.....and you know the “attack” was far right? Evidence?
Who is this far right and when exactly did they say it?
Nice job labeling an entire group by the actions of a few...and all Muslims are Terrorists right?
Ah so the police must have them in custody then, is that right? Maybe they're having a nice political exchange. Dicks
Evidence? Or is that so out of vogue now
Evidence the attack was 'far right'? Evidence of his injuries (he said he was kicked in the head for example)? Evidence the attack actually happened? If it was pre-meditated against Jussi Owens Smollett, so Owen Jones, wouldnt they have filmed it for propaganda? justasking
Your opinion assumes it was a politically motivated attack, with no actual proof and therefore proves nothing. Disgraceful journalism trying to stoke the flames of division, but nothing less than expected from a gutter press newspaper
Have you any proof this was a far right attack rather than just random late night violence? Or do you just accept the word of a well known agitator as being gospel?
Still no arrests?
He’s needs to get over himself, who actually recognised that twat in the street? Beaten black & blue...🤔🤔🤔🤔
He's out in gay land 3am and gets attacked , I'd say more someone from the lgbt community attacked him ,
We should rename him Jussie Jones, he's clearly made the whole thing up. He was drunk and had a minor scuffle probably because he was a obnoxious to someone and saw a opportunity to feed his ego. Maybe do a story about antifa throwing hot coffee and headbutting James Goddard 👍🏽
Laughable communist saudi backed rag.
Did they have lanyards on or is it ‘fake news’ ?
Delete your account immediately.
Offers no proof labels right wing says it politically motivated says was kicked in the head no marks visable? When I got assaulted I looked like a mess for weeks. Not saying he wasn't 'assaulted' but looks in pretty good shape and blaming those damn Nazis for his savage beating.
Proof.
Surely the CCTV footage will prove whether they were far right or just pissed off with your childlike face spouting nonsense. 'I don't drink lager. Do I look working class to you?' Oh hang on, there wasn't any CCTV footage? Mmmm 🤔
Can you just provide evidence of any attack.
Not only was Owen Jones attacked by a figment of his imagination, it was a far right figment of his imagination 🤣😂😆👏😆😂🤣
I hope this isn’t true Owen.
What attack - was it reported to the Police?
When I was at school it was always the pious ,smug ,know it all irritating kid that received a happy slap. Not because of any political belief or sexual agenda. Just because they were the smug pious, know it all, I’m superior attitude.. It’s called putting people in their place
Still zero evidence this was pre planned or by anyone 'far right' (whatever that means now).
Since no EVIDENCE has been established it’s a bit of a moot point who’s lying, wouldnt you say?
Actually, I was at that pub on the night. When I left I saw 2 far right white nationalist men wearing MAGA hats, a noose and a bottle of bleach out the front. Pretty sure there was a Subway just around the corner too.....
Where is the proof he was attacked. All the biasedmedia fakenews have shared a story without any evidence just a whingey cry baby being a whingey cry baby
If they didn't say anything before, during or after how does he know it was far right attackers? Also you don't get what look like cat scratches from a kick to the back. Maybe he'll stop condoning violence and assault on others.
How do you know he was attacked by the far right? Or don't you require proof any more?
So the police have found the person and they admitted it was a political assault? Or are you just making up garbage again?
A couple of years ago Owen Jones flounced out of an interview on ‘ Sky news’ in mid-programme leaving Julia Hartley-Brewer and presenter Mark Longhurst abandoned ( on camera) because he was offended by the questions ! Journalist Longhurst was later dismissed. Free speech anyone?
Thus far, imo, the lack of evidence regards the alleged assault certainly indicates someone could be lying tbf ..
Why is it “ far right” ?
If was a couple of 2 year olds that gave him a kick, he knew they were far right because they had white dummies.. Far more believable that the story Soymanboy Owen is putting out
Why does he think they were far right? I haven’t read anyone quoting there political rants during the attack? The last time he got beat up, wasn’t it assumed to be homophobic? Couldn’t both attack just be because he his vile and winds people up?
Unless they were just normal people.
Coming from the man that made light of milkshake throwing!
I replied to this earlier, but obviously you delete posts when there are too many critical comments. So I’ll say it again: the far right doesn’t believe in free speech at all, neither do the far left. Only libertarians truly believe in free speech.
What attack? Noone has any details but you know it's the far right?
Independent Opinion Yeah right Far right
The 'far right' NEVER liked free speech. But, then again, you're not really talking about the actual 'far right' are you? This sort of shoddy crap is why no one bought your newspaper.
Do not all extremes try to silence the opposition? However what evidence do we have here of political motivation?
Does one have to be far-right to find Owen Jones an unpleasant young man, irrespective of his politics? (Not, I hasten to add, that I support beating him or anyone else up!)
To be brutally honest he incites violence I’m glad he got a slap 👋 what goes around an all that
Pity the left hate free speech
There is no evidence this happened there is no far right it’s a label 🏷 created by neo fascist remain to suppress dialogue of Brexiters plain an simple like you fkn editor
Could it be they just didn’t like him as he’s a twat. It will probably turn out to be joe public sick of the spoilt shit
This rag advocated throwing milkshakes over people they don’t like.
Jussie Smollett.
Also from the independent 👇🏻
It's not been proven 'far right' And 'far right' in the world of Owen Jones is anybody who dares to disagree with him.
Propaganda rhetoric. Not working anymore we see you
He was coming out of a pub at 3am , more like a case of slurred speech . Every attack at closing time must be the 'far right ' now 😂
I have no idea who the 'far right' is any more. Rather than a small and largely insignificant number of nutters, it seems to be everyone capable of critical thinking and who dares to challenge the establishment's view of the world. Oh, and made up people in Islington.
London is hardly the last stand of the far right,the other week a asylum seeker had to search for a hour to find a English man to stab
If it was indeed a far right attack. I suspect that the reality is the man baby Jones spouted his mouth off once too often and had it closed for him by someone able to do it. Do I care? Nah, couldn't give a rat's arse tbh.
And just like that, 1 kick and little Owens' career was over
The Far Right...
False flag event
any proof ? any cctv footage did it happen ?
Is there proof and evidence it was a far right attack or are you just making things up and believing jones? At least live up to your name *the independent* before pronouncing judgement based on ignorance of facts. CCTV evidence has not yet come out.
I thought he doesn’t know who attacked him? Pub fights happen for all manner of reasons and being far right isn’t one of the most common.
Show the evidence
Independent my Arse !!!!
I think I missed the article of arrest, trial and conviction of this alleged attack.
I think I missed the article of arrest, trial and conviction of this alleged attack..... I suppose this sort of Free Speech is acceptable
Breaking It’s said that Owen Jones injuries were so bad he was only able to appear on Sky News and BBC news and give interviews to the Mirror, Express, Sun,Star and the Guardian he hopes to speak to others when he recovers from his ordeal and thanks all lefties for support. 👊👀
Any proof it was far right or actually happened? The far left are too keen to jump on bandwagons
Far right? I didn’t realise people had been arrested yet.
Waiting for that thing called evidence
Evidence that the attack was politically motivated please?
I bet he just fell over pissed up really and made up an attack. There’s not a scratch on his face or one lump on his head. Not having it.
Haven't there been acts of violence from the left and far-left? In fact a man was glassed in a pub by far-left activist for attending a free speech talk given by the right (the right, not the far-right). Why was it fine for that man to be beaten and glassed by thugs?
Ok, here's why this article is written. No-one except the attackers know why Jones was attacked. But that doesn't matter, the point is to put the idea in people's heads that even it wasn't certain people it *could've been*. It's basically propaganda posing as journalism. Sad
If this attack is an attack on free speech, then so is the attack on Tommy Robinson, you see what youve done here Independent! Dummy
Shouldn't you be informing the police instead of tweeting and writing articles if you know these 'far right' assailants?
The baby saboteur got his bottom spanked, get over it, it's got nothing to do with free speech as it seems he is still squawking, probably for more.
Are you saying you know who attacked Owen Jones If so I hope you've given this information to the police
Your reporting often proves YOU are lying. Where is the evidence it was a 'far right' attack? Your rag is not worth lining the cats litter tray.
Come on show us the proof that this was a far right attack. Show the far right for what it is then. If you can't, stop writing inflammatory articles.
Define far right! You see to use it as a general label to anyone who is not an SJW.
Not some pissed up lad, but the 'far right'. This is why no one takes you people seriously anymore.
I’m still waiting on proof to these claims in all honesty!
The far right? :))))))) I would imagine 80% of the population support free speech
Proves that both left and right are so similar. They are both getting played but don’t appear to know it.
Its a pathetic opinion. A group of moron thugs attacked OwenJones84. Thugs don't represent people in general. And people who don't fall in line with the 'progressive left liberals' are not necessarily 'far right'. Free speech means Everyone. Shouldn't need to be said.
I find that the ‘far right’ and ‘far left’ go on about free speech until someone disagrees with them!!! Then you find out how hypocritical they are.
First of all everyone likes free speech. Second of all are you using assaulting someone as an argument against free speech?
You can and should be able to say what you like of course but there is no guarantee that you won’t piss someone off enough that they want to punch your face in.
It goes both ways
You mean like those on the left 🤔
