TelegraghMen picked up my column (previously published SWW Media and below) thus their strapline above.
Can’t have the tyrannical Feminista getting their own way all the time now, can we?

The Taffy Taliban are arsoning aound again!
Fire lighters in their arse pockets, jerry cans of petrol strapped to their sturdy backs and dreams of arsonist Sauders Lewis’ resurrection, yes the Welsh language Taffy Taliban are up to their silly old tricks again!
Phone calls to my editor to advise that they are on their way to burn my house down – that’s if they don’t set themselves alight before they ever get near it!
Silly Billies.

Dylan Thomas was a right, royal bastard!
The drums have been beating and the cymbals crashing, yes its 100 years since Dylan Thomas was born.
What we don’t hear much of, is the fact that in South Wales he was largely ignored at the time, as being too ‘English for the Welsh’. His voice didn’t explode with valley’s lilts, neither did it ooze the dulcet whines of inferiority complex.*
He threw whisky bottles and fags at Welsh Chapel hypocrisy, not to mention dropping his pants without as much as a by your leave, at any woman who just happened to be passing by, Bible thumper or not.
All good stuff in my book, the man lived and thus his ability to knock out a tidy poem or two.
A fan of the 1920’s writer Caradoc Evans, who believed that the foundations of the ‘Welsh way of life’, were prejudice, philistinism and sexual guilt*, Thomas even today, is still ignored by those ivory towered Welsh literary creationists in Welsh academia.
And why?
This sorry lot, prefer to excuse the extreme Welsh nationalist antics of those grand old arsonists and bombers, Saunders Lewis and John Jenkins.
Dylan? Don’t be silly, he wasn’t a Welsh speaker for starters, how much more do you need to know?
Thomas was a master of the written word and like any fine writer, he ignored the bleats of conventional tedium. A career sexist to his core Heaven forbid (feminists will be trying to erase Henry VIII from the history books next!), a drunk, an exploiter of friendship, but what the hell, he’s in good company when it comes to literary genius.
And as for the highbrow, self-serving neuroses of bookish Welsh academia.
Those who can’t, teach.
*I know how he felt!

Woman’s Hour and the Guardianista really have lost it!
In recent years the BBC has undoubtedly become more and more detached from the man on the street and the real world.
If you want to hear smug liberal, left wing middle class tripe being exploited on a grand scale, listen to Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour and the sugar coated tongue of its empathyholic presenter Jenni Murray.
The other day our Jenni was exploring the question:
Is a new Walt Disney Cinderella film relevant to a modern audience?
Pardon me? It’s a fairy tale NOT a treatise on societal maturity or equality between the sexes as Murray suggested!
Woman’s Hour mystifies me at the best of times, but consider this: She was joined by two down to earth, Hampstead Heath smart set out-riders, one a fashion editor and the other, a chief reporter with the Observer (as if one would expect anything less!).
Is Cinderella still a fantasy romantic ideal or is it simply a lesson on how to marry into money, this gloriously insightful trio mused? Oh and not forgetting that the film dares to resist being an “anthem for feminism” and that the mention of a “dowry was unnecessary”.
The all-knowing child psychologist and infant malaise expert from the Observer advised, that should any post- traumatic stress disorder result from a viewing of the film then “parents should have a bit of chat with their children and talk them through the themes”.
Themes? Cinderella is a FAIRY STORY for God’s sake!
What world are these people living in? It sure as hell isn’t Bradford!
The BBC has become nothing less than a taxpayer funded conduit for elitist, liberal arrogance and a nauseating detachment from real people.
And its journos had better not turn up at my house with cold food either, otherwise I’ll do a Clarkson on ‘em!

Women Can’t Park! The Feminista demanded my head for this one, humourless lot!!
A recent incident reminded me of a column I wrote a short while back. Here it is, uncut this time:
Now according to all the motoring organisations, women are safer drivers than men and have less accidents etc etc, so far be it for me to argue with such authority. They are less aggressive than men to be sure and one rarely sees a woman jumping out of a 4×4 snarling and wielding a baseball bat. But here’s the thing, they may well be better drivers but they sure as hell can’t park.
Only the other day, whilst sauntering passed a lap dancing club (and no I didn’t go in, there was a Feminista demo going on outside the place, something to do with women getting stuck to poles?), I encountered one female of the species trying to park a small Fiat in a space big enough for a Combine Harvester.
I couldn’t help but stop and observe the lady’s determination as she tried to park her car. It really was something to behold. Having re-arranged the curb and pavement slabs a couple of times, she sensibly decided that it was just not going to happen, gave up and drove off – nearly splattering an unsuspecting cyclist in the process.
Every man out there is aware of the undeniable fact that women simply cannot park a car – although in the interests of fairness and in order to keep Guardian readers happy and those inclined to wail ‘sexist!’ at any man who just happens to challenge female might in all things, there are of course exceptions. My own missus not being one of them it must be said, to date, she has managed to mutilate a parking meter, demolish a pillar or two and had more bumpers replaced than a Formula 1 racing car unable to pass a pit stop.
No doubt, this particular column will raise the odd feminist yelp of outrage – I’m hardly renowned for being a people pleaser after all – but the fact remains, and from a man who has had considerable ‘ ladies behind the wheel’ experience, women can’t park a car and that’s that!
