Private Eye steps up
To the surprise of no one –
From Moore’s “Why I had to leave the Guardian” piece last week:
By 2018, the atmosphere was poisonous. A fellow columnist at The Guardian replied to a message I sent about being civil at the Christmas do with: “You’ve prompted the most sickening transphobia, for which you have never apologised, you called islamophobia a myth and you publicly abuse leftwingers.” This person went on to say that I felt insecure “because a new generation of younger leftists have caught the public mood”. I didn’t even understand the accusation of Islamophobia. More broadly, I understood that the possibility of a left-wing government was exciting, but unlike half the paper, I didn’t believe that Corbyn had actually won in 2017. I also didn’t like the macho, bullying culture around him propped up by writers at my place of work.
I complained to my editor about this person at the time but was told that as neither of us were on staff, nothing official could be done. Really?
So there we have it. Here comes the “new generation”: the new Left, same as the old Left. Full of misogyny, utter pricks and those with the emotional intelligence of whelks. Misogyny in the name of socialism. Again.
That’s the Owen Jones we know and despise all right.
Self-righteous little creep. I suppose he thinks he’s on the right side of history – the woke version of in the sight of God.
If you accept that trans women are women
and if you accept that women have the right to organize
Then that includes all women.
The only possible way it can be “transphobic” is if trans women are not women. What an admission from the TRAs.
