I'm sure @afneil didn't like being criticised for hiring a Holocaust denier, or for chairing a magazine which churns out racism and apologia for Nazis.
But in a democratic society, I have a right to challenge him on that. Yet he defends himself by hiding behind "cancel culture".

This all kicked off after I wrote a column about Andrew Neil in 2018, the point of which was not to "cancel" him, but rather to underline the point that the claim the BBC has a left wing bias is ludicrous. (Which remains the case today).https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/apr/11/bbc-andrew-neil-media-politics …

The false claim by
@afneil, which led to a deluge of abuse including fantasies of violence, still hasn't been withdrawn. I've never called for him to be sacked, as I said at the time: https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/status/984152297625341957 … Lies like this have dangerous consequences and he needs to retract.pic.twitter.com/9WlmcvbM5T

He should never have been employed in the first place. It's completely fecked up that a publically funded service should have a far-right, freemarket idealogue like Neil doing anything, yet alone hosting their flagship political programs.

I remember you exposed his far right connections and he still hasn't calmed down from the embarrassment.https://www.thecanary.co/trending/2018/08/07/owen-jones-has-savaged-the-bbcs-andrew-neil-laying-bare-his-far-right-associations/ …

As a Greek myself I can't stress enough how abhorrent the golden dawn are, not least that they began as and still are an overtly neo nazi party (in a country that lost 10-15% of the population in wwii). There is no defence possible of golden dawn.

For context this is the party they were defending. https://www.protothema.gr/greece/article/389380/fotografika-dokoumeda-mihaloliakos-kai-pappas-me-ti-svastika-kai-to-sima-ton-ss/AMP/ …
