Paul O'Grady (Lily Savage) suffered a serious heart attack last week. We wish him a speedy recovery. Not so to the ailing drag acts of Britain.

Drag is at last unfashionable. We wonder why it has taken so long for the real message of drag to reach home.

How hypocritical would members of the Male Alliance be if we were to disguise our argument against drag as a defence of women?

As hypocritical as the gay males who take their female friends to drag acts, where a man posing as a grotesque female mocks every aspect of being female right in front of the women those type of gay males claim they adore.

If it were a white man dressed up to mock a black man for his colour, we wonder how long before the act would be closed down?

Drag is the most grotesque sexism and misogyny in operation outside the Taliban.

Time for Lily to join Danny La Rue in one grand swansong for drag, one final verse of On Mother Kelly's Doorstep.

Hang up the frocks and let's have some masculine images of gay males for the 21st Century. Leave the HRT, menstruation and sanitary-towel jokes to Jo Brand.
