That was HIM? And all along I've been suspecting those posts of being by a whiny trans identified female of my very slight acquaintance.

He accidentally doxed himself in a thread on MN. I shan't specify further, but he is indeed a bloke from Manchester.

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

I’m envisaging a two person musical

Someone asked about the report to the police thing....

Well it fair RUINED my Xmas!

I was all packed and ready to go, I had worked out which hobby group I was going to be in, had baked the crustless quiche as promised and hid several bottles of rather naice wine in ..... well places I would rather not discuss quite honestly...... and ....nothing. They didnt arrest me, no Xmas in MN Smokey with my fellow lags, GUTTED.

All I've got is:

Billy Bragg came for Mumsnet.
Yeah, that went down well!
Mumsnet HQ were quite polite
I'd have told him "Go to hell!"

This has been a most enjoyable thread, with this post amongst the highlights.

DisgustedofManchester isn’t Billy Bragg! Think there’s been crossed wires upthread

I am very impressed that you managed to resist saying "two testicles from the same scrotum".

PyongyangKipperbang · 09/01/2024 19:37

BB is a tiresome middle aged man who simply cannot accept that no one gives two shiney shites about him, and never could.

He had himself up as a great activist musician. He was neither a great activist nor a great musician.

He is a bit of tit really.

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

When they make the drama, it will be as famous a pairing as Turner and Hooch. For casting, which one drools more?

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

I just told them both this. Billy will be ever so cross. He was trying to offload Barton onto us, and Barton landed in his lap anyway. Its ever so fitting.

Any chance of a link?

He used to post in Times comments too. "DisgustedofManchester" I think.

And now Barton is palling up to Billy Boy. You couldn't make it up.

Billy should totally record a song about how millions of women on Mumsnet think Billy Bragg is a Bellend.

our very own @Boiledbeetle could help him with the lyrics.

Perhaps Billy could write a song about it? He could call it something like ‘Let the women be silenced while rich white men speak’ - I’m sure it would sell about 12 copies if his wife and neighbours each bought a copy of his misogynistic, whiny ramblings set to a guitar.

Bore off Billy, you haven’t said anything remotely interesting or groundbreaking for years now.

'Waiting for the great leap forward (over women)'

We could respond with 'Must I paint you a picture (of Isla in his pink leggings)?'

I'm kinda with you, with regards to who was he.

But who is he?

Someone who hates women, and now especially women on mumsnet.

Bit of a nutter then really.
