@RedToothBrush think it is a reference to, on Christmas’s day in the First World War when the Germans and allies put down their arms and played football, as depicted in the song “altogether now” by the farm?

Oh I am so loving this thread.

Came here to share this screenshot, I think someone mentioned it earlier. But Billy really sounds as though he's taking the piss out of - Billy??

Talk about floundering...!

I have to say this is joyous.

I still am working out what WWI has to do with modern day football and I get to ponder it whilst wondering what username Billy Bragg is on MN and how often the pair of them post on here cos I bet Barton is a convert MNetter too.

I would like one of them to have the name "A gent provocateur" and the other "Mini Me".

But their theme song must be "Billy and Joey were plonkers" to the tune of Frankie and Johnny.

Fixed it for you Billy:

I was 21 years when I wrote this song
I'm 66 now and I'm still fucking wrong

People ask when will you grow up to be a man
But all the girls I loved at school
Are already pretending to be men

I loved me then as I love me still
Put my ego on a pedestal,
Kicked women down the hill

I don't feel bad about acting like a scrote
As long as I stay relevant with the lefty male bearded vote

I don't want to change the world
I'm don't care about trans England
I'm just looking for another cause

I don't want to change the world
I'm just trying to stoke a rift
I'm just looking for another grift

It’s good to know that every time a BB comment is made on Mumsnet he dies a bit in his soul it hits the target.

Barton and Bragg will be able to bond over their shared contempt for women.

@RebelliousCow

I think you have a good point actually i have noticed quite a vacant look awful lot of people on the TWARW side of the debate.

Lisa Nancy and Starmer. Just like actual parrots. Davy was bloody hilarious squirming in his chair about it all , made me think of John Bird and John Fortune skits

Like an unpleasant version of Jedward?
They could identify as BillyJoel and do a cover of Uptown Girl starring Eddy Izzard in the vid.

Genius! Although perhaps should be...

ArabellaScott · 09/01/2024 20:52

Billy Joey?

Uptight twits
They've been living in their uptown world
I bet theyve never been backstreet guys
I bet that mumsnet never told them why

I wonder if we could be witnessing the start of a Billy and Joey bromance?

To be honest I don't think he's cognisant enough to be misogynistic. Like most people who have embraced gender ideology as an article of tribal membership, he hasn't got the first clue what it is even about." It is just about equality, innit?"

Do you remember that 'debate' he and that 'professor' from Birmingham University had with Julie Bindel and Ayaan Hirsi Ali? They'd done no research at all and didn't know what the hell they were talking about - embarrassing - even though their arrogance prevented them from even being aware of that.

I was watching 'Billboard Pete" on you tube the other day. It is evident from his encounters with aggressive, self righteous gender ideologues that they have not the faintest clue what they are talking about. One young woman was surprised to hear that he wasn't shocked and outraged at her having short hair whilst still being a girl🤔

Stop telling women what to think about women’s issues, you nasty little man @ Billy Bragg

Thank you (and have a follow)

haikus in honour of BB

Billy the bell end
Hates Mumsnet with all his might,
Misogynist twat.

MN with sheer class
Telt him tae get right to fuck
To all our delight.

I've got this song in my head (except the older bbc audio tape tune)

ArabellaScott · 09/01/2024 20:14

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Caught in a bad bromance
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Aw, look! Billy and Barton are besties now!

👯👨‍❤️‍👨🥳

Let's please not discuss Dawn Butler or indeed rozzers again lest we alert the Met and all get lifted. I'm doing sober January and I'd prefer to go inside when I can join in the MN hooch making.

Oh, the cross wires were me then!! Sorry, I’d edit my previous post but it’s been too late
