The misogynist Billy Bragg

About time he had his own thread to document the anti-women statements he comes out with. First up:

Love it 🤣

Who would have thought that in 2023 Billy Bragg would spend all of his time arguing with women about women's rights on social media? I can't believe he keeps on going with it.

Yes indeed LoobiJee. She also went on the Blocked and Reported podcast and pretty much called KJK nazi adjacent.

Julie may be keen for women to overlook the many times she's thrown other women under the bus but I for one will not forget.

Frantically thinking about protocol here…do we curtsey when (ex) FM’s arrive on our threads? 😜

I thought that we were supposed to start throwing tomatoes. I have some nice squishy ones ready in the fridge....

I dunno! She's more used to women lifting their skirt to her these days!

It must be a very demanding and full time occupation, being a Woke Left man these days. Not only do you have to repel and insult women who suggest that males cannot be female and that females ( otherwise known as women) have a right to the dignity and protection of singles sex categories and spaces; but you also have to align with and 'amplify' liberal feminists such as Ash Sarkar telling you that men are shit and violent and sexual aggressors who need to be held to account - even the men you once thought were quite cool and right on.

It would be fun to mock a few copies up wouldn't it ?? 😅

@BrontëParsonage 😁

Saw this in the replies to the thread about Billy telling women what to wear and who to talk to

It’ll be on display in Waterstones (and all other good book shops) before we know it.

Ha ha! Brilliant, thanks!

“This allowed me to point out that three English people expecting a country like Australia to accept a belief system is very reminiscent of colonisation. The notion that you can change sex is something that does not exist in the Noongar country we're standing on.”

Note that the only thing that caused Bragg to pause for a moment was finding himself at risk of being found guilty of racism / colonialism.

There was this added to the end.

Yeah no shit!

Its incredible what people will mindlessly do and appropriate in the name of trans rights.

Sometimes I wonder if TRAs are holding Billy's family member hostage or something. Because surely SURELY there comes a point when you think "this ain't right" EVEN if you genuinely believe transwomen are harmless delicate and magically incapable of doing anything remotely male.

Julie Bindel has commented:

'What an utter wanker. I couldn’t despise that man more. I have never, ever spoken to him, except when I debated him (and wiped the floor with him) at an online event where he was arguing that there was no such thing as cancel culture. We didn’t mention KJK ever. He’s a lying toad and I might just send him an email.'

That’s all very well.

But wasn’t it Julie who wrote an article about some group in the US, issuing dire warnings against any woman’s rights campaigner having anything to do with them when campaigning about the harms of gender identity ideology? I think Jane Clare Jones might have had something to do with it too? And then there were repeated threads on here by posters identifying as socialist + feminist issuing dire warning about having anything to do with KJK and claiming she had far right connections / was being used by the far right / would blacken the reputations of all right-minded feminists / undermine the efforts of the socialist feminists to persuade their misogynist brethren to consider women as actual humans with rights?

And now we see that, apparently, that thread of connections has enabled BB to decide that JB objecting to US anti abortion groups = JB being opposed to KJK in all she does = JB agreeing with BB that females do not have the right to single sex spaces away from males = anyone who disagrees with BB is a fascist.

I think I much prefer any of the Trans Billy Braggs to Cis Billy Bragg.

Julie B has adequately described BB, I feel.

Heh, hasn’t she just!

Any response from the misogynist Billy Bragg? To either the author of that tweet or to Julie Bindel?

EdithStourton · 24/09/2023 13:20

MavisMcMinty · 24/09/2023 13:20

Thanks all!

ArabeIIaScott · 24/09/2023 13:15

I've only read about them in relation to American colonialists, I'm guessing it's the same thing?

Thelnebriati · 24/09/2023 13:13

I wonder if BB knows what a poison blanket is.
