Perhaps women should not be employed in these high power jobs. I know I am treading on dodgy ground in these days of equal opportunities, but let's face facts, females tend to apply a much softer approach to matters than the male. Apart from a few women such as the iron fist Mrs Thatcher, there are few of her kind (some may say good, but if nothing else she was strong and committed).
Perhaps it is because of the softy, softy approach that some sections of the community (the knife wielding gangs) are on the increase in our society.
Some are brought up in a one parent, (in most cases by the female) family enviroment.
Then during their period at school they are taught generally by females.
By the time they have come to around school leaving age, they have had very little contact with older males, concequently if they are given a chance to join a gang, they are only too happy to, they then have to prove themselves.
But don't worry if they go off the rails, there is always some female willing to feel sorry, make excuses for them, or operate the softly,softy approach, be it social worker, lady magistrate, or our Home Secretary.
Even a said Dr Judith Aldridge stated recently "It is wrong to assume Gang members are all criminals" excuses, excuses.
