Have you read the article?! The words that he wrote?
I was, and am, commenting on the post about the misrepresentation of the artist Kano, whose picture was used instead of Wiley's. My assumption would be that the article will be Jones' usual cliche laden diatribe as he himself has a history of shouting at clouds and im not a fan of his writing. If you want I will read and critique the piece, but that will be another 'sub thread' and won't be related to my responses above. Vanden Saab said:

Can we imagine the left-wing pile-on if, say Boris Josnon made a similar gaffe? God forbid that Farage did similar. 
Yes, but its the Guardian who have made the gaffe, not Jones. 768 said:

Have you missed the several posts where I have stated I dont like Jones' persona or his writing? And its hardly leftist to suggest a lazy left wing newspaper is to blame. I sometimes think the posting on here is becoming ever more binary and blinkered. Is this a reflection on society as a whole?

He has a book coming out, on the Rise and Fall of the Corbyn movement.
I remember my mother having the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire on the book shelf, i assume this will compare....

As if Owen has any perspective on how high it managed to rise or where it went wrong.
He does place himself too highly as a social commentator considering his bubble. Still I would imagine he can see Corbyn's flaws rather than blaming a conspiracy against himDid anyone get to the bottom of his book 'Chavs' and find out why he feels they were demonised? Personally I'm pretty sure it was Labour, who don't really like the course unwoke white working class.

Comrades! I, the brilliant investigative journalist Owen Jones, have conducted a through investigation into why Jeremy was not elected, and can exclusively reveal my findings. The failure in the election was the fault of the following counter-revolutionary groups:
- the far right
- everyone who earns over £80k a year*
- Trump
- gammons
- fascism
- racism
- islamopohbia
- leave voters
- the BBC for photoshopping his hat
- Murdoch
- Farage
- Israel
- Russian bots
- centrists
- Tony Blair
- voters too thick to understand his policies
*please not this does not include Labour MPs, activities or Union bosses, because that's totally different
It was most definitely not the fault of the following:
- Jeremy Corbyn
- John McDonnell
- Labour policies
- socialism
- Owen Jones
- the unions
- Corbynites who spent the run up to the election telling everyone that if they didn't like it, why don't they just f
k off and join the Tories.
- Kier Starmer, who I fully back and always have done
