An appearance on the BBC television show ‘Daily Politics’
Yesterday I debated the topic of ‘women in the boardroom’ on the Daily Politics show. In the studio debating with me was Heather Rabbatts. The piece starts with three pieces ‘to camera’ from three women. The first two are the usual self-serving guff, but the third is insightful, as we’d expect from the journalist and broadcaster Cristina Odone.

Just watched the BBC segment – Heather Rabbatts had pretty much nothing to offer.
Call for female quotas in academia

Thanks for this. What an appalling story. The result of quotas in academia will be the same as in any other field – a growing culture of utter mediocrity.
