I was amazed to read that the Women's Institute has taken serious offence to the Little Britain TV show's portrayal of their members as homophobic racists.

Far from protecting the image of Women's Institute members they have made themselves look like laughing stocks because everyone knows the WI isn't like that.

Just like the whole country knows that disabled people aren't leaping out of wheelchairs the minute their carers backs are turned. Drag yourself on to this planet, women!
