Womens Committee Debate

A Charter for Discrimination - Nikki Sinclaire MEP slams the European Parliament.

The European Parliament insults all women with its call today for "positive discrimination", according to Nikki Sinclaire MEP.

" They sat there complaining that women could not make it in politics without positive discrimination, and even claimed that women are unable to acheive success in businesses such as professional football" said Nikki. "I reminded them of Maggie Thatcher and Karen Brady, but it appears that they will not let reality get in the way of an opportunity for a raft of new legislation"

Two reports were debated today by the Women's Rights Committee of the European Parliament. The Committee is calling for positive discrimination which it believes is necessary to encourage women, and to facilitate greater progress. "Rather bizarrely" Says Nikki "the same report that calls for positive discrimination for women, also supports a new anti-discrimination directive from the European Commission. The scary thing is that all this is likely to lead to even more new and uneccessary laws, which we will all have to abide by."
