//Our culture does not see women as second class. //

Actually in many aspects women are still treated as second class when it comes to equal pay, climbing the corporate ladder, serving in the Forces.

Ladybirder, //I don't know why people are disparaging AOG's thread//

Because that's what some people do with AOG's threads.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think it's disparaging but may have been best to add any new findings to yesterday's previous thread on the same topic - keeps things together.

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, yesterday we were speculating that some of these people are not children. Today we are presented with evidence that they're not, and personally I think new news justifies new discussion.

[Mamyalynne]

Agreed, so as in conversation to be added to what we knew yesterday would provide a clear flow to the discussion.



My opinion only, makes for a continuation.

We have a woman Prime Minister couldn't get much further up the ladder than that, she also gets paid more that a vast number of men, and there is no reason why she couldn't haver joined the forces if that was the direction she wanted to go in her career.

But while we are on the subject of the armed forces, have women ever been called upon to stand up to their necks in muck and bullets, as men have been forced to do?

[naomi24]

AOG, you have been criticised for starting this thread; some of us have supported you - and there you go derailing it. Oh well....

[anotheoldgit]

Yes naomi there are some amongst us that do not relish certain raw nerve touching subjects remaining topical, they just wish to see them swept swiftly under the carpet, hoping that they will never again see the light of day.

Yes sorry naomi, for a moment I took my eyes off the ball and responded to Islay's diversion tactics.

The 1st photo in the Mail link was shown on the BBC this morning and it said it was actually an interpreter but the photo was mistakenly posted as being one of the children.

[Islay]

AOG you really don't have the hang of this debating lark do you?

You posted a link stating that women were not second class - I responded to your posted link - then you accuse me of trying to derail it?

Duh!!

/// Once again, women and children appear to be last in the line where migrants are involved. That is not the British way. Our culture does not see women as second class. ///

That was AOG at 13.26. It is a Kate Hopkins quote and concerns the choosing of male immigrants masquerading as children, before women and children. Will their carers be entitled to child benefits and family allowance, and will the "child refugees" be entitled to school places?
