I have no problem about staying at home or even of this event taking place in t'Town Hall; my concern is that this is publicly funded and that it is not the first time this has happened this year. It appears to be a sequel to the 'International Wimmins Week bash' which occured only a few months ago.

In my opinion the taxpayer has more important prioritities than subsidising Japanese kite flying, lesbian basket weaving or African hair curling, or whatever multi-cultural clap-trap happens to be on this weeks menu.

If we are to have such subsidised events, then surely we should have one for the blokes, just to even things up? Could not the town hall be taken over one saturday, so that we could see, amongst other things: model train layouts, a mini beer festival, footy cards and programme swapping and maybe up one corner, some pole-dancing and stripping action by the fairer sex?
