Dear Titania, thank you for the excellent teaching material! I have just copied and pasted your post into a word document to give to my students next Monday when I am due to teach theories of humour, including parody and satire, as part of a two-hour non-crime hate session. Your guidance is much appreciated, as always!

As someone living in a rural part of the most racist and inaccessible part of Britain, I can attest that my dog is daily, often three or four times daily, subjected to gross acts of racism. Woody is a black Labradoodle and, because he is a dog of colour he is constantly barked at, and would be definitely be attacked by two Jack Russels and a Westie who throw themselves at their fortunately-closed garden gates when we’re on the way to the park. These dogs are, of course, white and therefore, according to the Welsh Government, inherently racist. So I would like to suggest to the wonderful Eluned Morgan she bans all white dogs. And maybe not just white dogs but any others that are not completely black.

Just want to thank Andrew Doyle for allowing Titania to speak here. I hope that he will give her similar opportunities in the future when he needs a break from writing his own column. Thanks.

Redirecting policing during covid was just a warm-up.

Andrew,

I can not believe you have allowed such a woke lefty to guest post. The only point I am in agreement with is that Wales is now "remote and inaccessible". This is due to the national 20mph speed limit.

Dear Titania,

Thank you for this very liberating piece of art, truly inspiring and absolutely necessary to heal this sick and broken world. I'm lightening a candle and a stick of incense tonight in support of the resistance.

BLM!

I think Titania is extremely offended at the allegation that she’s merely producing art. Stand by for a call from your local big brother!

Unless its a call for jihad during a demonstration organized by islamists. We know it is only a call for spiritual development. You forgot that you islamophobe! Silence is literally violence!

Well said, Titania!

Titania! Oh how I love thee.

Now, I wish I could send this to my adult daughters but I know they'd be mightily offended. (Snicker.) The problem being that humour has somehow diminished in this time warp. I feel humour's return has an inkling of light shining through of late, or perhaps I am wishing this.

Ooh I needed that! 1984 has some good ideas!! Ooh help me someone!😂

Anyway it occurs to me that Titiania McGrath and Anneliese Dodds (MP for Fraggle Rock and Secretary of State for LGTLZGPURRWOOF+TwoShots - may have got that slightly wrong) are, in fact, one and the same person!! It could explain a lot!

Have cross posted

Absolutely priceless!

It's rare that anyone tackles this subject and gets it so right! Thank you, Titania, for putting the record straight - I will treasure this offering for a long time to come.🤣

Titania writes: "Indeed, studies have shown that all hate crimes are preceded by moments of non-crime. "

Additional studies have also shown that all hate crimes, and many non crime hate incidents, are preceded by the perpetrators saying "hello" to someone at some time before the offence. Likewise, all those convicted of hate crime have at some point in their lives eaten bread, farted or drunk some water.

These studies will eventually establish a comprehensive list of pre-cursors to hate crime that can then be prohibited on so that we finally have no hate crime whatsoever in the country.

In the meantime the Prohibition of Unsolicited Greetings, Wheat Products, Bodily Emissions and Di-Hydrogen Monoxide Bill should be pushed through Parliament as soon as possible.
