Somebody give the woman a life

Have the Equality and Human Rights Commission nothing better to do between morning tea and afternoon coffee than come up with barmy 68-page reports - at no doubt a million quid or so a page - to tell schools they could be breaking the law by insisting on making girls wear skirts as it discriminates against transsexuals.

It will surprise no one that the report was commissioned by poor little rich girl Harriet Harman who really should get a life of her own and stop interfering in ours. This latest lunacy is about the same as some officer on the Titanic demanding a toilet was redecorated a different colour before the ship sank beneath the waves.

Now I have no idea how many transsexuals there are in our schools but I would wager there are probably more one-armed pupils whose hobby is playing baroque fugues on the mandolin than there are pupils eager to express their transexualism by way of cross-dressing in school uniform.

There can't be that many transsexual karate black belt 7th Dan about which is what most blokes who turned up at school in a frock would probably need to be on the safe side.

It is about time that the plonkers and their quangos who are in charge of the sweet shop were told in no uncertain terms that we make rules and laws to cover the majority. When it comes to the minorities, in some cases so small as to be almost negligible, we make allowances.
