Rather a lot of question marks here, a lot taken on trust as it were.

Awful woman. Who the hell does she think she is? Sexist nonsense. Let us not forget the "court of public opinion" comment about Fred the Shed's contractual pension. She thinks she's above the law. Been in power for far too long. Now's the time to send her back to a council job somewhere.

kind of sweeping statement but every workplace I have have worked at with females in positions of power invariable fked it up royally and descended into near anarchy. She has a point though, shame the stupid cow thinks they should get the job because they have a minge and not the qualifications.

The sad thing is she doesn't realise most women wish she'd shut the fk up!

Jobs should go to the best applicant whoever they are. I would hate to get a promotion just to make up the numbers. How are women supposed to gain the respect of their colleagues when it's perceived they got the job just because they're a woman?

This isn't a case of positive discrimination.

Simply put - if a bloke said the same thing he would be hung from the rafters - she's simply an out and out sexist.

Classic sexist attutude from Ms Harman: judging all men by the standards of the ones she works with despite plenty of evidence that we are not all like that (I suggest she looks at Nelson, 2002 or Stangor, 2000 to recognise herself).

She does more harm to the debate and to women by comments such as this than she understands.

Her problem is she actually knows nothing about the subject except her own repressed feelings of victimisation (which could be true) that she will never be PM and has to blame someone, anyone, and all blokes are now the best target.

She should have a read of Sondra Thiedrman's book and then shut the fk up.

Bleeding hell.

I wish people would stop with this equal opportunities st.

If the right people for the job are multicoloured striped men with 2 cocks, then so be it. If it is a lefty white female, then so be it.

That woman is a parasite.

What makes me laugh is the travel to and from work expenses. Then local councils have the audacity to introduce work parking levies backed by the government. Double standards don't even come close!
