Harriet's advance

John

Not me. The woman is a pile of incompetence and stupidity.

Ben Elford

She certainly didn't get where she is today because of her intelligence or ability to construct an argument. Perhaps she has (so far successfully) hidden talents.

Marin

Me neither.

Fergus Pickering

Is Harriet Harman more incompetent and stupid than... oh I don't know. Fill it in for yourself. And I think Hazel Blears (shut up Fergus)

Mark

The Liebour Men are just as crap as Ms Harman, so I don't see your point.

Is there anyone who really thinks that Mr Brown has got where he is because of innate ability, rather than because, and only because, he is a man?

Apart from Jeremy Paxman, are there any White, Anglo-Saxon, Heterosexual, English males working for the BBC news team?

"Apart from Jeremy Paxman, are there any White, Anglo-Saxon, Heterosexual, English males working for the BBC news team?"

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BBC_newsreaders_and_reporters

The following appear to match your criteria:

Bill Turnbull
Charlie Stayt
Jon Sopel
Ben Brown
Chris Eakin
Mark Mardell
Peter Sissons
Nicholas Owen
Tim Willcox
Alastair Yates
James Dagwell
John Simpson

I think people should spend 5 minutes doing a bit of research before commenting on here.

Harriet's Decline

It's not equality to encourage preference at any level when it comes to employment, its called
Malicious meddling and it will have the opposite effect and create further discrimination.

Equal pay for both female and male employees who do the same job and for the same amount of hours is just and this should be enforced and made law.

Council that advertise preference for ethnic job applicants based on a preference without any reason to support it should be outlawed unless a requirement for a language translator is essential, the Council has perpetuated this discrimination for many years now and it should never have been allowed, especially for a body that has pioneered the phrase 'Equal opportunities', when on the face of it, it promotes disharmony within the community and defeats its objective, to build a stronger community between all peoples based on fairness and equality, and not race or gender.

I think people should check their syntax before posting nonsense such as "I think people should spend 5 minutes doing a bit of research before commenting ON [sic] here".

Now tell us the proportion of such people compared to the general population.

QED.

Next!

King Prawn

Let's be honest, Harriet Harperson won the Deputy Leadership of the Labour Party because of her husband, Jack Dromey, stabbing Blair in the back over cash-for-honours.

I laugh so much when got caught in her own funding scandal.

PJD

Ann, do you want me to compare the demographics of BBC newsreaders to the overall UK population?

I offer a full apology for the misuse of the word "ON" in my previous comment here.
