Depressing news. The woeful woman was fired by Theresa May when she was Education Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities, and in the past week or two has spoken of the need to do something about the low number of women in senior positions in the Financial Services sector. Because with all the threats to the economy, that’s what the chair of the Treasury committee should be focusing on.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

We are indeed a decadent society. With the rise of China and other developing nations there really isn’t going to be space for carrying “passengers” in our wealth creation sectors.
Thinking of equality the latest figures on Uni figures. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-40581643 Down on previous years one thing this reminded me of is the bursary system for nursing and Allied Health Professionals. In a genuinely “equal” society someone would have queried these as they are offered to students on courses 90% female. The end of these will therefor affect the intake of female students if fewer apply (as appears to be the case) I’m expecting a “sexism” row about it. Even though of course when the bursaries (grants in fact) existed they were sexist in favour of female students. And given the new UCAS head is a male I suspect its the end of the annual expression of concern about male applications.

It looks very much as though ‘sexism’ consists, at least in part, of expecting women to work for their money and pay for themselves. Disgraceful; we’ll be expecting them to carry their own luggage and unblock their own drains next.

Just out of interest the “Gender Gap” in Applications for Uni. still exists https://www.ucas.com/file/115911/download?token=EokhytEH Its interesting that this year that gap is absent from the figures in the press release. after having been highlighted in previous years by the head of UCAS ,a woman.
