Y-emeni Enemy.

Time was when the noble African savage went about his business bare-bollock naked; but we Europeans have always had an obsession with African genitals, never more so than when we started importing our own fair maidens to provide a smidgen of comfort as we went around denuding that continent of its riches. Then we became positively phobic about the genitalia on display and demanded that the goods be encased in genuine Lyle and Scott Y-fronts. Nothing more ridiculous than a Massai warrior in Y-fronts, apart from Chris Bryant MP perhaps, so we demanded trousers as well.

Now we have a new Y-front opening up in the ‘war’ on Alki Eda. Behold the Y-emeni enemy in his national dress!

Bin An Dunnitnow has convinced his army of Y-front believers that fragmenting their testicles mid-flight is a sure-fire route to taking advantage of the 40 virgins on offer in the celestial sky. The inherent flaw in this axiom seems to have escaped them – I told you they should put the women in charge.

So every airport in the world is to be equipped with Y-ray vision, to discover what lies beneath the Lyle and Scott’s. Passengers, with the curious exception of Heads of State and those travelling with them – how soon we forget Abdullah al-Asiri, so memorably described by a commentator here as ‘a martyr to his bowels’ – or those in private jets, are to be subjected to a pat down in the undercarriage traditionally avoided by your more sensitive immigration official.

Westerners working in the Yemen have been ordered to travel in unmarked cars, they only being recognisable as westerners by the UN or similar flag on the front of their cavalcade. Putting a tea-towel on their head and padding their Y-fronts obviously hasn’t occurred to them as a means of integrating seamlessly.

The Government of Yemen has been pleased to accept £42 million pounds to allow the only division of the British Army that really has no need of padded underpants – the SAS – to track down the true Y-emeni in his lair – and then blast him to smithereens, ready to meet his 40 virgins in fragmentary style.

Did it never occur to them to merely stop accepting flights from Y-emen, and stop flying into that God forsaken hole?

Gordon Brown told the BBC today that “we’ve got to do more” to combat terrorism in Y-emen, and called for a conference in London at the end of the month to discuss “what more” the international community could do to contain the growing al-Qaida threat from there.

Simples. Stop giving them the means of getting ‘from there’ to anywhere else. Leave them alone to parade in their dusty fly blown enclave in futile parody of Chris Bryant. No more money, no more ‘anti-terrorism’ grants. No more visas to any other country.

So there are ‘hundreds‘ more in training there, ready to terrorise the world? Let them be. At least they are all in one place. The novelty will soon wear off when they have to walk out of the desert.
