Hey, let's annoy 50% of the population

I do so only in affectionate jest...

Want a job done well? Ask an older woman

I am not sure this - '...a 66-year-old Prime Minister of Iceland, or at least what's left of it' -quite endorses the spirit of the headline.

However, I am sure we have much to look forward to as Jackie, Hazel, Harriet, Margaret et al... um... mature.

Addendum -

Hmmn. I seem to either have been banned from the Torygraph comments section, or have failed to understand how it works...

Patronising Harriet Harman's gaffe on black, disabled people

All will be well soon, when she, and a few others (Jaquie, Hazel, Margaret (not that one, natch), etc) have been allowed to 'mature' a little:

Apparently.


Though I am not sure that citing the PM of Iceland, especially with the qualifier the author herself introduces, is necessarily a great endorsement.

Things seem to be working out sooo well under the boxtickocracy currently in vogue.

Maybe... I don't know... just ensure negative discrimination is dealt with harshly and let talent flourish where it is encouraged, regardless of an PC targets?

I just had real fun with a town hall munchkin that, as far as I was concerned, Pink Jedi was entirely acceptable as race an religion in my book.

Where's a sub when you need one?

I guess Aunty is down to her last £3.5B to pay for things other than basic news management:)

Me, I have to use Blogger's Spellcheck, which is a) intermittent at best, and b) woeful. It won't try this post, at all, so here's hoping self-proofing won't lead to an own goal.
Clegg's gaffe Michael CrickWed 17 Sep 08, 08:00 AM With so many other important developments around at the moment - financial and political - Nick Clegg might just get away with his horrendous gaffe when he said the basic single state pension is about £30 pounds when it is in fact £90.70, three times as much. In normal times, it would be an error which Clegg would find hard to lie down.

In case I don't get creditted.. again... when they post-edit (which they should), I have of course kept a page capture. Such faith and trust in the national broadcaster I pay for:)

The secret bunker is here... look!

Gaffe... my a**e.

Government's secret fears over housing market exposed by minister gaffe

Too much to hope it was deliberate.

Or are we really being run by people this thick?

Buy the silly b...abe a folder.

Next time it could be a matter of national security.
