  1. Oh yes, but, you know, one woman earning £600,000.00 per annum but a man doing that very same job would have been 23% more, so, you know, really, it’s only fair. Sort of a small blow for equality, isn’t it?

    On a more serious note, my wife has just had to go into work, and will be working until 20:00, because a 27 year old little snowflake has had a fit of the vapours on learning that her father has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. This particular snowflake tends to have such fits when confronted with life’s little dramas (she had two weeks off when her boyfriend broke off their relationship – they’ve since hooked up again), however, today that snowflake was covering for another little snowflake who is off for stress, and has been for two months, which stress came on when she was denied a three month ‘career break’ to go and live in Turkey with a former colleague of my wife’s (who is said to be a source of pleasure for the local men).

    What’s the point of this ramble? My wife is one of twenty nine female staff in a workplace of thirty. At present two are off for ‘stress’ (down from four a month ago), two on maternity leave (one of whom started the job while on maternity leave from another job and announced, while my wife was taking her through induction that she was pregnant and would be taking maternity leave from, I think, the end of that week or the one following, I kid you not), one has convinced someone that she suffers from such debilitating migraines that she is now registered disabled and entitled to something like thirty six days additional sick leave per annum, another has childcare issues and so on and on and on. In total twelve of the twenty nine women are either off or seriously unreliable and there are usually four to six women absent at any one time, which means that the remainder have to do more, which is far from fair. One small benefit is that because the place is so short of staff, overtime is actually being paid in cash rather than in lieu time, as is usual.

    A further issue is that all of the managers (there are four – my wife is one) are women so there is almost always some petty to non-existent ‘crisis’ magnified out of all proportion into an impending disaster.

    When looked at in the context of female performance in any role, Alison Saunders’ management of the CPS tends to support the view that rather than needing more women in important positions we need far fewer.

  2. Feminist supreme and graduate of Common Purpose. This woman is both vile and incompetent. A public servant with nothing more than an insidious agenda in persecuting innocent men .. whilst allowing the guilty, the false accusers , the DV zealots full support and/or protection from prosecution. Her likes have no place in public service nor in an honest criminal justice organisation.

  3. Some well known persona (I’m afraid I can’t now find them) allegedly once said that if he wanted to know what a person was thinking he simply adopted the expression he saw on their face.
    What is Saunders thinking behind that supercilious smirk?
    Penny for them.
