Well at least we agree there is actually a gap. Not really sure what to say about your reasoning for it! Got to be a WUM

What is your reasoning? Discrimination? Paying women less for the same job is illegal. And why would a company hire men if they could just hire women for less.

Oh I forgot that the only laws that aren't broken in this country are those relating to equal pay for men and women.

So Labour can't use their seats? lol
The funny thing is Tories and Labour may as well form a grand coalition, they are practically the same. They won't because it would hurt Labours vote share for the next election.
Tell the women to sue the company then. Except companies are not paying women less for being women. Otherwise they'd just hire women. You do realise the so called pay gap is taken from an average of all full time working men and all full time working women. It isn't for the same job and it does not take into account things such as hours worked etc.

Is exactly what they are doing. The weighting of tribunals in this area is heavy on one side.
The argument extends well beyond the hourly rate/salary. It is also about opportunities, the lack of, or the obstacles put in the way. There are plenty of women being discriminated against because they are of child bearing age for example.
Still its your prerogative if you wish to take the video rants of some weird misogynist as gospel.

Is that the Republican version of Nadine Dorries?
Presented her case rather more eloquently than maker of the previous video but if you're expecting me to accept that anything published by the AEI is anything other than right wing propaganda - in this case an attack on Obama - then you're having a laugh.

Didn't Labour have an EU referendum in 75?

I think he was asked a question and answered it. He said he has never voted and never will. That isn't encouraging people not to vote and it doesn't matter how influential he is, it isn't being irresponsible, it's telling the truth.
The whole thing reminds me of McCartney LSD thing. They asked him if he takes LSD, he said he does so the media went to town saying he was irresponsible and encouraging drug use. He wasn't, he was answering a question. It's the media who were doing the encouraging.

I think it was Heath. And yes and no. We had one on joining what was then called the Common Market. Which isnt exactly what we now have.

I don't know much about them, all I know is I respect and admire this woman for using facts and logic.
And I cannot stand when people use statistics wrongly. I watched a labour mp say that rape has increased in our country. When actually all crimes have decreased, but more rapes are being reported because programs have been put in place to encourage people to report rape. she then went on to say 90 odd % of rapists are not convicted. Again, this is miss use of the statistics. She's assuming that all people that are accused of rape are automatically guilty, many may be, but in the case of rape it is a he said she said situation which is why so many people are not convicted.
