Tad Safran's "response" to all the "lard-butt British frumps" who he "let off easy"

Tad Safran has come back with yet another column to defend himself, entitled, "Oh please, you lard-butt British frumps have got off too lightly". It's pretty much another pile of crap, meant to boost his own profile and get more people talking about The Times. I guess it's working. I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around how any one person could be such a twat , but here it is:

"And I can’t help feeling I’ve let British women off lightly. It’s not just the Americans you don’t compare to: British women don’t have the curves of the Italians, the simmering sexuality of the Spanish, the sophistication of the French or the openness of the Scandinavians."

"So what do British women have? Top spot in the European obesity table. Top spot in the European teen pregnancy table. And the only spots (besides Denmark) in the chart showing rising alcohol consumption among women in western Europe."

"Well done, Britain. If what women are striving for is the ability to get hammered and fall over in the street, Britain is a feminist paradise from coast to coast."

Awww. Tad? Did someone get his wittle feewings hurted?

If the cap fits..

Careful now, this is just an elephant trap...

Political blogs know if they mention something about abortion, their traffic figures go ballistic...

The Guardian blog knows if it mentions anything about religion / the Middle East conflict / sex / politics, the postings go for the moon.. [If they can hook in something about condoms and Catholics they get a triple whammy]

Giving this chap more airtime will just confirm his view that he has 'hit a nerve..' or that 'if the cap fits, wear it...'

Fewer people are buying papers, and the 'quality' [using the term loosely] are panicking because the only way they can keep their advertisers is to get huge traffic going through their internet site.

You only have to look at the huge number of facile 'polls' on the Telegraph site...

p.s. as a bloke, I feel it only fair to express the other point of view that British men are, by far and away, the worst dressed in Yurp.. - One only has to make half an effort to look smarter than 90 % of them...

Why focus on the women? What do British men do that makes them any better than their European counterparts? Get pissed more? Get fatter? Be less romantic? Think they have the right to gawp over airbrushed women in glossy magazines?

What really pissed me off was that the tosser got paid AGAIN by the newspaper of record for writing this hoary old cobblers twice.

Isn't anyone else bored yet of this muppet's annoying attempts to squeeze more out of his 15 minutes of fame? So you're never getting laid again in Britain... enough already!
