They own most of Britain’s media and sit in No 10. Why are these champions of liberty upset about millennials on Twitter? asks Guardian columnist Owen Jones

So this is how liberty dies. “A monstrous imposition!” is how our modern-day Boudicca, the Tory backbencher Sir Desmond Swayne, decried the new law compelling customers to cover their faces before entering a shop. Sir Desmond does not have a blanket objection to covering his visage, you understand: he has previously described blackface as an “entirely acceptable bit of fun” after boasting of dressing up as the late soul singer James Brown.

The same could be said for Zionists. A great many of those are in the so called centre. OwenJones84

I like the way Owen consistently assumes that anyone under 40 is left wing....despite the fact that everyone I know, young and old, left or right, thinks he's a gobshite.

What a farce you are so loved you Labour never got in power. When you don’t get your way you run away crying don’t you understand the majority rule. Stop crying get on with life. It’s not apartheid in England. It’s not who cry’s the most you utter cockwomble

Because the left have let the working class down

Like you?

'The right are in power everywhere' That's because so-called leftists like Jones don't have a spine

Yeah... Because it's the right going around throwing tantrums and pushing statues over... 🤔

Founders of Fascism Benito Mussolini - Marxist (Official) Giovanni Gentile - Socialist Jean Allemane - Socialist Georges Valois - Socialist Marcel Deat - Socialist Jacques Doriot - Communist Henri de Man - Socialist Nicola Bombacci - Communist

You enabled this...🤦‍♂️🤢🤬

OwenJones84 The Right have learned the arts of victimhood at the knee of the experts of the Left.

The Guardian really is its own parody. The only difference being that parodies are usually funny...

is Jones projecting again?

The regressive left hold huge amounts of power in media, universities, schools, publishers, tech companies etc. That's why the right win elections. It's the only way people can protest. Which has been a tragedy for the working class, as neither side speaks for them.

If the right are in power everywhere why is saying woman is an adult human female a revolutionary act. Sod off Guardian.

I'm glad you're going out of business with shit like this.

but you're the ones pleading for donations?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Oh Owen, keep on, don't stop! We need you to keep writing till the Guardian goes bust. 😁 BuyACoffee ☕

On what planet are the Conservatives right wing?

And this is why the guarding is sinking

Right wing win elections but none of those elected are actually right wing on social issues. The only thing Jones shows here is that democracy is a farce. The left can’t gain any democratic consent and yet every politician and media and academic Plays the same tune.

JSkeaping How tall is that woman?!

OwenJones84 Owen knows about playing the victim lol

An interesting take there from self-pitying millionaire celebrity Jones.

Hilarious.

From Owen Jones no less 😅

'What great news is this We hear today About The Guardian's demise The end it seems is on it's way As this Lefty news rag dies Jones, Toynbee and Freedland Hyde, Brockes and Moore Leave their sinking ship and Find their arses out the door!!' 👍

You mention Hopkins and Farage on the BBC and I'm a fan of neither. But is Ash Sarkar not as far left as they are right? A self confessed communist who finds racism in empty cupboards and windy fields. I have plenty of gripes with the BBC but too few left wing voices ain't one

There's a lot of right wing snowflake ❄ in these comments would u like to call Katie Hopkins to make u feel better

deluded Jones. He can't comprehend that 'the right are in power everywhere' (they aren't) because they win at the ballot box.

NIAbbot Where Ur left in this country exist Rape gangs Slave workers Sharia law demanded High crime Failing mayor's Demands for free Ur Utopia World

owen jones,,, the fart speak's,,,sorry that was an arse burp

And they want to know why The Guardian is going down the shitter?

The right are in power everywhere that power is assigned through a democratic vote. Fixed that for you. Which isn’t most places - not the media, academia, in most of the public sector.

The left have successfully shifted the narrative within which the right operates through control of educational & cultural institutions and also through the media. The 'centre-right'of today are barely 'right wing' in the traditional understanding of the term.

OwenJones84 gives us another of his toxic demonstrations for why his clickbait is not translating into pounds for . Its deep financial problems are its own fault.

'Research found only 0.4% of British journalists are Muslim; in the age of Black Lives Matter, very few are black.'. Why doesn't Owen, all pale and very stale, do the honourable thing then and step aside?

Weird how they've been ascendant for 3 years and none of the histrionic predictions that were proferred by your outlet and others have come to pass, and even basic measures of right platforms have trouble getting through the legislative stage

The Centrist Guardian can't seem to stop playing the victim either. BoycottTheGuardian

I wonder why The Guardian is going bankrupt 🤔

Little wonder you're going out of business.

You do talk crap

I’m happy you are underwater financially hopefully the guardian will be a relic of the past soon

What's that black woman doing there?

As long as Owen Jones keeps his job the Guardian will meet the demand for bullshit journalism

OwenJones84 And you wonder why the Guardian is going under! An article from someone playing the victim, about someone else playing the victim, complaining about someone playing the victim. Journalism at its very, very best. 🙄

OwenJones84 The comments prove the article lmao

Should have promoted voting for Labour in December 2019...Twats

I see little difference between ‘left’ and ‘right’ - just a distraction. Nearly everyone in political power is working to the same dehumanising agenda of wealth and power transfer from people to large corporations. Who sits behind them?

OwenJones84 Excuses as to your observation that the left are hardly ever in power... The Progressive cult is the Frankensteinian offspring of the failing and increasingly irrelevant left. Anything but progressive. Even the old Liberal’s are closer ideologically to what you call the “right”.

OwenJones84 Looks like the right wing agree with OwenJones84 as most of their comments back up exactly what he wrote in this article. 🤔 Funny that...

Right wing populist demagogues - such as those in the US and UK - are the worst leaders to have in charge during a real crisis, because they invent or exaggerate non-existent threats. US, Brazil & UK are worst hit with the highest death tolls in the world.

The economic right are in power and and the social left are in power. It’s actually not that difficult to understand.

OwenJones84 Love the heading of the article - very powerful and bloody true

The Right are in power everywhere!😂😂

As I'm blocked on Twitter by that great democrat OwenJones84 I presume he doesn't want me to read his polemic or support TheGuardian further with my money! 😡

OwenJones84 Great piece Owen. Love the fact that the right wing mob come whinging on here proving your point.

OwenJones84 The spot light on self loathing is more powerful than self worth these days. When we stop listening outside our echo chambers we are doomed to fail miserably.

OwenJones84 No wonder this rag is going down the pan, No 8 in their rule book, play the victim. Rule No 2 as soon as you see shit like this, pile on. Just look at this thread full of it.

OwenJones84 All that is required for the right-wing to flourish is for left-wing people to read the

OwenJones84 This is right-wing's modus operandi .See, India 🇮🇳 and RSS.

OwenJones84 I love that this article noting how right wing lobbyists are playing the victim card is followed by a slew of right wingers playing the victim card! Oh dear.

Owen Jones entire career is based on playing the victim. He wouldn't know an authoritarian right wing government if it bit him on the backside. Half the problem is the lefts control of institutions like education , the media. Recent NYT implosion good demo of where you end up

He is a typical neo-Marxist ie hates Christianity, hates the family unit, hates western values, wants democracy destroyed, free speech ended. Jones is an extremist, and a complete and utter w⚓️✊✊💦💦💦 . He will lead the Guardian into bankruptcy.

Rant Boy rants

You can’t even write well anymore Owen. Got two thirds through this garbage and went back to the more enjoyable task of cleaning the toilet. Yawn.

Guardian being Guardian.

As a person who cries for the head of anyone who disagrees him, I hope that OwenJones84 loses his job and see how he likes it.

Hoopefully they become real victims soon

How's the book sales, OwenJones84? 🤣🤣🤣

The left control almost the entire media, or maybe it’s the media controls the left. The left also controls academia. We have some right wing governments at the minute, but a lot of them are unable to fulfill their mandates because of this left wing control of the media.

This AltRight Nazi shit is the real weak, the loosers idiology,like the evangical Christofascism

😂😂😂😂😂

Never mind. Trump for PM.

Now who said satire is dead eh?

The guardian 😂😂😂😂😂

What about George trying to influence and pay you fake news idiots with bs? He makes his money crashing economies

Get over Brexit Owen

Love how the comments confirm the article...all the poor triggered 'victims'.

The right “hold power everywhere”..? The right hold power in government and win general elections, but the left (and even the far left) hold unchallenged amounts of power in news media, entertainment, big tech companies, universities, and large cities.. Weird article from Owen.

What a load of utter bollocks.

Because universities, the media, the administrative state, film and television are so “right wing” right? WTAF?

Great piece. Sore winners - love it !

From a professional victim

This is why you need to sack your staff People don't want to hear your twitter journalistic bs opinions

Oh do shut up. The left control media, tech, education etc. People voting right is the reaction to the left’s overreach. Which, of course, you know.

Says perma victim Owen Jones.....

Imagine if we actually had right wing governments. Owen would need his nappy changing hourly rather than daily.

? All I see is the radical left controlling the agenda and narrative currently. I must be missing something...

Is it quiet in the office?

A professional cry baby speaks

Well. Hitler felt as a victim of Jewish people all the time. Put those people in therapy, not into governments.

That's rich coming from OwenJones84 . He's made a career out of being a professional victim .

The far right LOL, you mean anyone who's slightly left of Lenin

Like, isn't that their whole game? Christianity is under attack, 'culture' is under attack, the country is under attack. It's the same game since history, and then accuse the actual victims of playing the victim.

First. Also, Owen you have lovely hair.
