Bragg do Bragg
Billy Bragg has trouble making up his mind. Yesterday as we saw he was all “do women really get to say things?”
And today he’s all “right to protest!!!” and “right to free expression!!!!!”

Do women get a free pass to say whatever they want when discussing their rights?
They get a free pass to say anything protected as free speech, same as men.
Why is this so hard to understand?
That exchange leapt out at me too, NiV. Yes women get to express their views, even if it is anti-abortion (per example in the exchange). And critics get to criticise and disagree. But Bragg isn’t organising a protest against KJK’s views, he is organising a protest against her presence. Big difference.
This sort of post is why I keep coming back to B&W day after day. Brava, Ophelia.
