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.

I'm poorly educated..but even I know what a dog is (nod to KJ there..x)

Ok, so Billy might not have been on the original thread, just had the link provided to him by someone who was or who bookmarked it while it was live. but he does appear to feel qualified to discuss the content of the deleted thread. So either he saw it or is doing the “someone told me what it said” thing again.

His response to mnhq

Just me or did BB's response have more than a touch of the Jolyon about it?

Probably came off the same production line in the slightly defective arsehole factory.

The irrelevance is now claiming that 'Traditional values would be arguing that sex is binary' in response to someone querying what 'anti trans women' are and what he means by 'traditional values'.

He's either a huge misogynist or a credulous fool. I suspect both.

Karensalright · 09/01/2024 15:46

@MyLadyDisdainlsYetLiving I saw the Barton post but did not comment or follow. Checked my notification history and is not there or anywhere else

so billy no mates must have/seen/posted it/screen shot it. Or one of his sycophants fishing for proof we are nazis

his post suggests he was disappointed he was deprived of any evidence.

his come back to MNHQ, was a question about wether any of us called Barton a transphobe

very telling IMO

I like that when you put your energy into something that you fully embrace it! Bet if I cut you you would have moustaches running through you.

Hold still a minute, let's check...

TheClogLady · 09/01/2024 15:53

Is this Barton bloke an actual transphobe then? Obvs he’s a sexist but so is Billy Bragg so that’s not gonna bother Billy…

Decrying women who want to preserve women’s single sex spaces, sports and services as transphobes makes it harder to spot the actual transphobes and I don’t follow all the utterances of random former footballers so 🤷‍♀️

ArabellaScott · 09/01/2024 16:01

So a footballer is an arsehole and therefore Mumsnet are Nazis. XL Billy needs to walk me through his thinking process, here.

TheClogLady · 09/01/2024 16:03

Billy XL? 🤣

Karensalright · 09/01/2024 16:03

@TheClogLady Barton is a raving sexist from the football world and is well known as an outspoken pig, has had plenty to say about women commentators in sport etc.

Thats why the Barton is GC post on this board was so suspect, billy no mates would have loved it if we all gave a hooray for Barton, which did not happen. It was billy or an allie of his doing some fishing using a Barton tweet about men being men and women being women

ArabellaScott · 09/01/2024 16:05

Well, I'd never heard of Barton and no idea what he's said. It seems there are fights going on in Billy's head that nobody else has even been invited to.

And then ..... Mumsnet handed him his arse

LOZ! The ratio @Jeanhatchet 😂

PurpleSparkledPixie · 09/01/2024 16:27

Hi Billy, we took this down because it was started by a troll to deliberately inflame which is against our guidelines, but FYI the overwhelming majority of comments were highly critical of Joey Barton's misogyny, as you'd no doubt expect of a site dominated by intelligent women

Brilliant MNHQ, just utterly brilliant 😍

FYI, he wouldn't need to post on that thread for a deletion message. Adding it to your watch list will give you that, or being sent a link by another person.

justhadenoughofitall · 09/01/2024 16:30

Bloody hell, what a weirdo

Leave women alone, we will congregate and chat ya dumpling

WarriorN · 09/01/2024 16:34

@maltravers I'm having a brain fart day; I've just called fajitas, Tahiti, (similar spelling and moana was on yesterday) and I've confused Bragg with Tatchell (occupy similar spaces in my men who don't care about women lobe)

However, there's also this from Bragg last autumn, called out again by Bindel:

joey Barton, even in his (mediocre) playing days was always a knuckle dragger. He has recently been in the "news" for being a misogynist/sexist about women football comentators, players and pundits. I suspect he's angling for a job on GB News (if he doesn't already have one)
