    I can guarantee one of the top items on TOADY tomorrow will be that Labour Govt. has denied the WASPI women compensation for their not paying attention to the news …. or will it? The BBC does appear to favour a Labour Government and this appears to be down to Labour. But the WASPI women were not paying attention.

    I knew – as a mere male – that pension ages were increasing under the Conservative Government and the women’s pensionable age was being brought into line with that of men under Equality legislation. The women demanded equality with us males. Then when they obtain it they scream unfair! “We want compensation!”

      A sad fact that so many women don’t seem to have had the faintest idea of what is going on around them.
      Mrs S doesn’t watch too much news but knew for years she was going to miss the cutoff.
      And don’t you just love the ‘unfairness’ that women would have to wait for pensions for the same time as…errr….men!

      Equality. But only when it suits.

    It’s Maths time at the BBC.

    Around 3% of the population are gay. May we assume half are male and half are female, just for the sake of argument.
    So the chance of a random adult being a lesbian is 1 in 66.
    The chance of three random adults all being lesbian are thus 1 in 287,000. Except at the BBC.

    On the BBC SPOTY tonight, we had Claire Balding, Kelly Holmes, and Alex Scott, all on stage together. To be fair, the odds were lowered as Jessica Ennis Hill was also present. Still. Three out of four ain’t bad.

    The BBC. Where equality, diversity, and inclusion……..errrrrr……exclude the vast majority.

    Correct Snuffy. What were these women doing when the big publicity blitz hit the press and tv back in the late 90s and 2000s stating the pension changes ? I remember it well so why didn’t they ? It beggars belief they didn’t take an interest, but sadly even today so many women leave “that sort of stuff” for their husbands to sort out.
