Do any of them actually deserve their promotion or did they just have a vagina? The question wouldn't be asked if it wasn't for arty farty feminist movements <Toby> No one accused Thatcher of getting an easy ride to the top just because she was a woman.
Hard to tell really Mick as I doubt many of us (me included) are in a position to say exactly what they have done in their careers and what marks them out as being better than any other candidates. In fairness i suspect that if any of them have not been outstanding in comparison to their peers they'll be no different to some of the men who also got promoted. Oh and, for the record, I would concur with your aye and maybe
David is a smart cookie, he is going for the female vote which will resonate with the Scotch women as they cannot abide Salmond and Sturgeon. Well done David. It's time we rid this country of blatant sexism and get some decent looking flange in. Esther is an absolute honey. And she is incredibly intelligent moreover. More power to women I say.
Having been castigated on my 'own' teams' forum for replicating 'sexist' comments from the National press - all I see is this ^^^^ type of comment AND the Supernorwich thread about beastiality -- where the chap subject of the link states that he understands animals better than women. I dare not make any comment that contains any reference to ANY gender of the human species - otherwise I'll probably get my balls cut off.
Ah wid. All of them except the Baroness and Clare Perry just because she's a scary yet condescending puddin' who gives me the willies.
The bottom two aye. The rest naw. Priti wouldn't be pretty by the time I was finished with her anti-Scottish arse mind!
Anyone? Ok, i'll bite. What the **** you on about? Who cares what you can or cant say on your own board? Your fine to say what you want on GC, Jips the gun round here
