You would have thought a national newspaper columnist would know the difference between a Tory strategist and a former President of the United States, but then Owen Jones is a special case. According to Jones’ piece this morning CCHQ have recently hired one Lyndon Johnson as a spinner. Anyone would think that the Indy have sacked all their subs:
“While you’re saving your face, you’re losing your ass,” as LBJ once said…

Ed Balls stretches credulity by claiming he isn’t ambitious…
“I would love to be part of Ed’s Labour government but what I do next for me is not an all-consuming passion. I’m more bothered, in a personal sense, about getting to grade 8 piano by the time I’m 50.”

Predictable, d’oh!
Sorry to beat you in breaking this exclusive.
What a total idiot, I’ll bet he’s also a welfare claimant?
OJ seems to be a typical example of a spotty, ignorant, twunk.
Owen never lets the facts get in the way of a good story
You’re wrong on that, I demand an apology!
Nice to know the Independent don’t proof read columns before printing them.
I bet they did, but left it in to show what a fool he really is ! i know i would have !
Owens Jones is a snotty brat who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow. And that’s the good part.
The bad part is that certain people appear to take him seriously.
Only the BBC
and the Gurniad
He’s not a sprog that you dropped in an unguardianated moment is he Polly? The silly little fucker seems to have a set of genes that closely match yours.
There was similar self styled Voice of da Yoof from France interviewed on Al Jazeria on Monday about Hollande’s failing 75% income tax policy. The poor garcon was getting a kicking over his economic and political stupidity.
Perhaps Owen Jones could take his indignation to Greece and Spain to work out why the EU is abandoning da Yoof to unemployment.
You must be mad.
Recognising that all these “job protection” laws reduce employment overall and yoof employment in particular would bring their entire raison d’être into question.
‘Owens Jones is a snotty brat who doesn’t know his ass from his elbow…’
or his debt from his deficit
He knows all about ass.
That’s hardly a surprise – he is, after all, the product of 13 years of Labour edukashun.
Get ‘em young and poison their minds.
Don’t waste your time on this little boy, he won’t understand how wrong he is until his inexperience is corrected and his arrogance to understand that he can be incorrect about such things as the basic motivations of other people (those of who he does not deem necessary to put the effort in to see their point of view) is removed. Nasty little rat, lazy and deeply unwise (as opposed to unintelligent, as I bet he ain’t no dummy), hopefully when he is old enough to see clearly he will be filled with deep remorse about the lasting damage his idiotic comments have caused this country. Probably not, though.
something about nigel farage
Good point well made…
Worth a read- Oldie but a goodie.

On R4 Toady at about 8.30 this morning there was a BBC report on the BAFTA’s.
Apparently there is a film up for an award about the “murder” of Osama Bin Laden.
I’m suprised they had time for any other reports after the amount devoted to Bowie’s new single-which they also creamed themselves over yesterday.
Just to ensure the usual Toady balance, this morning’s debate was discussed by TWO obsessive Bowie fans.
Perhaps by tomorrow they’ll have found time to interview someone with a different perspective?
Pardon me for exposing the emporors new clothes, but I think the new Bowie record is shite
You’ve made your wedge David, now retire gracefully
It’s fucking awful, whatever talent he had left him around 1983. Why did nobody tell him?
BBC did eventually go onto the street and 2 out of 3 young people knew of Bowie but did not listen to his music. Total indifference for a BBC “ikon”.
I could not understand the BBC’s OTT Bowie plaudits as their soundtrack was less than inspiring, but perhaps they were only following orders from Gruniard.

Labour have responded by employing that well known wordsmith Ex President Bush
So a once great blog is reduced to trivial, playground stuff about typos and politicians allegedly dropping knives in pubs…
Oh fucking hell! Politicians are so fecking useless they can’t even get the knives into the backs any more!
Red ‘Oh look, mummy, I say ‘fuck’ a lot’ Rag isn’t what used to be, either. Still can’t challenge the bollocks with a comment, though…

Don’t ‘lose your ass’ to little Owen
This story is dynamite.
That man can’t shit and chew gum at the same time.
He’s sounds like a good lad. Hey — you tellin’ me the little fucker is a Commie — gimme my Magnum
They’ve sold out, will a Solero do instead?
I’m surprised OJ had ever even heard of LBJ, at his age, to be honest. Most kids his age think Winston Churchill is a bulldog that sells insurance.
But consider this: Lyndon Johnson was once quoted as saying, “I’m the only President you’ve got.” Is this going to be the new tack from Number 10: “We’re the only Coalition you’ve got”? If so, maybe it was some sort of Freudian slip on the callow lad’s part?
Hah – OJ
But he has yet to kill Gordon Brown and try to outrun police on his bike… before getting let off in court and vanishing into obscurity before returning years later to steal his iPod back off some bloke he lent it to years before when he runs out of food stamps.
Owen, you are a silly boy making mistakes like this. You’re obviously getting too tired. I’ve told you before to go to sleep and dream of becoming an M.P. instead of pulling on your little todger all night.
This is what I meant by “teenage scribblers.”
Not much has changed…
LBJ also said: “I’d rather have him in the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in”. Perhaps the Lobby should take note re Guido.
Arch-spinner Lyndon Johnson? How many wickets did he take?
Hey, hey, LBJ
How many googlies did you bowl today?
Hopefully OJ (lol) is not front running the assassination of whoever the hell Kennedy is meant to be over there…
