Owen Jones, author of 'Chavs'

Post by Ivanhoe on Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:52 pm

This young man was featured on the panel of Question time this Thursday. He spoke with passion and intelligents.

I have never heard of him, have you ?

Yes I have Ivanhoe he was in Scotland working with my MP William Bain, I thought he was a breath of fresh air to Question Time better than some of the Old Farts that are normally on.

I've been following Owen Jones on 'Twitter' for some time. He's an excellent 'New Statesman' journalist.

Hello Ivanhoe. Owen Jones graduated from Oxford in 2005, so he was probably born in 1984, making him 27 or 28 years old. He sometimes jokes about his youthful appearance. He's certainly a very clever young man.
