I saw the Barton thread and thought it was strange, at the time, that someone would create a thread, “yeh for Barton”, and post it through terf islands letterbox.

Have been watching this to see if the terfy detectives, who have far more knowledge than me about the workings of mumsnet would figure it out.

I think either he planted it to prove what a bunch nazis we all are

Or he was pissed off because he caught it too late to get any proof we are all nazis.

those two scenario’s are the only way to interpret his post on twitter, otherwise it is makes no sense.

Just in case he reads this, I am left wing, have seen you a few times, the view that anyone who is not left wing ,is bad bad bad just shows me what a juvenile idiot you are.

Oh and you are now irrelevant to me, a geezer stuck in your time,

Ive moved on.

Wish you Billy no mates would just push off.

Dear Lord.

This site that has helped countless women leave men who beat and rape them, where women find a hand hold and invaluable advice when they are bereaved or their children are sick, where the 'stately homes' threads run into thousands of posts, where it's members give and seek advice on every topic under the sun...

... and these weak, sad, bitter men hone in on something irrelevant to them but that they decide to take personally and plaster their complaining all over social media.

Just to have a go at women.

Depressing isn't it? And yet - all too familiar.

Daleksatemyshed · 09/01/2024 12:51

He's upset with us, oh dear, how sad, nevermind

maltravers · 09/01/2024 12:56

I suspect he means well, but he’s a poorly educated man (one “o” level according to the Guardian article I posted earlier) whose job is unlikely to have improved his critical thinking skills (die hard adoring fans only by this stage I imagine) and who has an over inflated opinion of the rightness of his own views. His black and white “my side right or wrong” thinking, honed by the Thatcher and Corbyn years, is probably what’s lead him here. Gender ideology is generally the approved thinking for left wingers and his schtick is tub thumping to get relevance. He won’t change until the Left can no longer shut its eyes and ears to the damage this ideology does to kids and women.

WarriorN · 09/01/2024 13:15

Means well?

Do I really have to go digging for that guardian letter he wrote?

WarriorN · 09/01/2024 13:17

The rest of your comment is on the money, just misses out his love for high end Dorset property values!

ArabellaScott · 09/01/2024 13:20

This Billy?

i must have missed the letter @WarriorN -what did it say? More insults to women I’m guessing…😬

maltravers · 09/01/2024 13:22

Yeah, fair enough Arabella, I’d forgotten that. He’s an old school misogynist in rainbow clothing. And a prat of course.

DerekFaker · 09/01/2024 13:23

New depths of patheticness from old fog horn gob.

I suppose he has to try and stay relevant however he can.

AlisonDonut · 09/01/2024 13:24

I don't understand his point to be honest. Mumsnet taking down a thread which presumably said 'this man is good' and receiving responses that say 'No, he isn't...is a sign of what?

@maltravers yes to this you wrote:

Katkins17 · 09/01/2024 13:27

He's a complete and utter 🔔end. Always policing women on what they should think, feel, talk about.
A washed up has been trying to stay relevant whilst showing his sexist, narcissistic credentials!

Jeanhatchet · 09/01/2024 13:29

And then ..... Mumsnet handed him his arse x.com/mumsnettowers/status/1744708885221442026?s=46&t=tKDDG0UDNu3hHymifhbG1w

This is the latter part of his tweet where he mentions that the thread was deleted and goes on to say 'Does that seem necessary if lots of women were condemning Joey Barton's misogynist comments?'

He makes a huge assumption that the thread was deleted because women were supporting Joey Barton, which is fucking laughable. Bragg has nothing else, so he scrapes the barrel

God, is he still going?

In my mind he's merging with Gary Lineker.

It was up very briefly yesterday - posted by a new poster - what a surprise! It was the usual tactic of posting something insane on here for a twitter outrage thread about mumsnetters thinking Barton (or some other misogynist) is great. MNHQ were on it - by the time I'd done an AS on the poster and confirmed they'd no posting history it had gone. But amazingly, incredibly, unbelievably...... Billy had spotted it, saved it and up it pops on his twitter feed 24 hours later. I mean - who'd have thought it.

Hmm. Am I to deduce that you suspect the venerable Mr. Brag of posting it, or else one of his lickspittle toadies of having done so, then alerted him to it?

Quite the Ms. Marple, aren't you!

😁

@Jeanhatchet You are one amazing woman. Thanks for all that you do, and have done, for so many years.Flowers

QueenBitch666 · 09/01/2024 13:41

Sad ball sack of a misogynistic

Karensalright · 09/01/2024 13:43
