Billy Bragg having a dig at Mumsnet

[Jeanhatchet]

In case you didn't see .... Billy is policing you now... x.com/billybragg/status/1744326814506373493?s=46&t=tKDDG0UDNu3hHymifhbG1w

Looking forward to seeing Billy's immensely successful website Leftiesnet, where old irrelevant socialists gather to discuss the imminent revolution, and high end Dorset property values.

This post wins the internet today! I hope Big gob Brag reads it

😂

Maybe they can call it grubbymisogynists.net

What a sad figure he cuts these days.

Pretty much everything he posts displays his ignorance and his arrogance to assume that he knows anything about what he is commenting on.

I never had Billy Bragg as a mumsnet monitor on my 2024 bingo card, yet here we are.

What a sad man.

Sad little man should be ignored at all times.

Just had a quick look through that thread and concluded he’s really quite thick isn’t he?
The responses to the original tweet, by whoever Rosie is, are gold though.

Who is he?

Billy who?

SillyBillysNet

Here to nominate a new MN acronym:

ODFOBB

(‘Oh Do Fuck Off Billy Bragg’)

Careful Billy, a rich successful man trying to control women’s speech is not a good look. Maybe resist the temptation to lecture women in women’s rights - it can be your New Year’s resolution!

Amazing that he sees himself as different to Barton. No insight at all.

That's made my day

I had to look up who he was. He is no different to all the other Mumsnet FWR monitors though so, nothing to see here.

Used to love Billy Bragg until he outed himself as a misogynist MRA. Given that that post has 2.7k views and 88 likes suspect I'm not the only one.

God, is he still going?

In my mind he's merging with Gary Lineker.

So he follows Mumsnet more closely than I do as I missed that thread! He must know all the issues then and can't claim ignorance.

Who cares what this irrelevant champagne socialist hypocrite thinks?

Billy Bragg has resented the existence of mumsnet for nearly a decade.

Billy Bragg, 2014, being interviewed by the Telegraph to promote the then upcoming Being A Man festival at the Southbank Centre

“I think men need a place where we can talk about things that are a problem,” Bragg explains when asked why he was so keen to be involved. “I don’t think any man who’s watched the news since Christmas can feel comfortable with what’s been going on with Operation Yewtree, with Lord Rennard, with those men who were convicted in Peterborough. I look at the TV and I despair for my 20 year old son.

“I don’t think any of us can be complacent. I think there’s a responsibility for all of us to be putting out a message. I’m hoping that Being A Man will open up a can of worms and allow us to start talking about these issues.” Bragg bemoans the lack of a "blokesnet" - a Dadsnet does exist, but it has nothing like the same scope as its female counterpart - and other online forums where this discussion could otherwise happen.

He's such a sad figure; a total irrelevance who cannot bear women talking without being constrained by male permissions.

Well he will be desperate to jump on any ammunition to help his misogynistic cause.

Of course he’s not going to link the thread with the trans sex offender who does things with babies’ nappies.

Or the one with the trans activist who was guilty of live streaming castrations and distributing child sex abuse.

Or..[insert any number of threads trans activists conveniently ignore].

Yeah me too, when was that thread? He must have saved the URL in order to (badly) link to it in his twitter post if it was deleted so he could bring it up days/months/years? later. What a saddo.
