Labour's Women's Manifesto

[Deskdiary]

Mad Hattie Harmon yesterday launched Labour's Women's Manifesto.

My questions are:

1 - Why do women need their own manifesto?
2 - Is this condescending to women?
3 - Where are the men's, black, Asian and disabled manifestos?

OK, last question was tongue in cheek.

Have they ? Well ...

1 - Because they are the only ones in society that are important.
2 - Similar special treatment elsewhere has never caused an issue so presumably not.
3 - No doubt on the way when they make enough fuss.

It's about time these Policitians started treating everyone as equals and stop this 'positive descrimination' stuff. We've moved a long way since Victorian times.

I think Labours 'women only' lists are a travesty, denying half of the people who want to stand for election a change to do so. The best person for them ob is far more fair. Anyway, that is another aspect of this Tread. Harriet Harman's husband won his seat on a Womens only list!!

1. There are a lot of these insecure haradens in the Labour party who seem to think having their own "section" helps. It's bsically insecurity, try haveing a mens manifesto and see what happens for how rediculous this is.
2. Yes, very
3. On their way, along, no doubt, with the anti British one!

1 - We don't, we are people, not a sub-species.
