The unsung 'heroines' who champion feminism/December 30th 2011.

Richie - We're counting down to New Year's Eve here in the village snug! The ivories are tinkling, the fire is blazing and snifters are lining the bar aplenty! Old Arthur Groat, virtuoso spoon-playing octogenarian of these parts, has been providing the entertainment along with local super-size burlesque artiste Marcia Braithwaite who, in a rather tawdry imitation of Imogen Thomas, wrapped herself in gaffa tape and had to undergo emergency surgery at A & E! Last night, though, the annual Right Wing Windbag of the Year 2011 was crowned! Unfortunately, Rich, you came a poor seventh, behind such raving fruitcakes as Clarkson, Palin, Mckenzie, loopy Mel Philips and lovable nutter Nige Farage! However, you'll be pleased to hear that Tea Party pin up Glenn Beck romped home thanks to his completely ga-ga comments comparing the Norwegian Labour Party Youth Camp on Utoya to a Nazi rally! Richie - forget the tired old elf-n-safety-wheelie-bins routine and up your game in 2012 I say!
