Just that really.
Ian Callaghan produces amusing sweary diatribes on Facebook of a GenX don’t know what the world is coming to variety.
I’ve seen 3 I think with origins on Mumsnet.
I think it’s OK he does this but I think he should acknowledge his source.
Otherwise he looks cleverer than what he is.

I don't see that he's stealing content, and I don't see anything wrong with him reading Mumsnet either.

Its a public forum the news papers are always doing it too.

Also Day time Tv I am positive they get researchers to start threads just so they can use it for opinions on This morning.

What @ColdAsAWitches said, lots of content is lifted from here and there, it isn't unusual . Even content creators copy each other for likes and engagement.

An awful lot of stuff here is lifted from Reddit. Or, as many suspect, simply made up to drive traffic. I'm finding it hard to get worked up about the same thing happening elsewhere.

Once you put anything on the internet, it will get stolen.

You don't have any rights over posts on forums and it's naive to think otherwise.

When you post publicly you lose ownership of it.

He doesn’t have to acknowledge anything.

CorporalJohn · 24/09/2026 11:01

At the end of the day they are public posts on a public forum.

I've never heard of the chap before this post BTW.

Man steals creative content from women and fails to acknowledge it. Eyeroll. Call him out on it on the post.
