UK: "Harriet Harman is an ultra-feminist gender warrior trapped in a student radical time-warp"
Article here. Excerpt:
'In a speech this weekend, she will hail this move as a step towards ‘a new social order’.
‘We want to do more than just provide escape routes out of poverty for a talented few. We want to tackle the class divide,’ she will say.
This is but the latest bit of cack-handed injustice from Harman, an ultra-feminist gender warrior who has spent much of her political career trying to institutionalise injustice against men and privilege women on the basis of ‘sexual equality’.
Much is made of Gordon Brown’s unreconstructed redistributive socialism. But in fact Harman is the most conspicuous example of another important characteristic of this government: its state of fossilised adolescence.
After all, listening to her is a bit like entering a time-warp and being subjected to some ghastly student radical circa 1970 nasally boring on about the class/gender/race struggle. That’s because she - and a number of her ministerial colleagues - were indeed part of that generation of privileged baby-boomers who indulged in adolescent fantasy politics about changing society and human nature - but who, crucially, never grew out of it.'

Question
I know there's a few Englishmen here. What exactly is Harriet Harman's position and how much power does that office hold? What does the average person in England think of her?
Does anyone know when her birthday is? I was hoping to mail her a huge box a shit.

EGE BAMYASI, our dear old Hattie is styled "Deputy Leader of the Labour Party" and "Leader of the House of Commons". She is also Secretary of State for Women and Equalities.
In some ways she is the nearest thing the UK has to a deputy PM.
It is worse than it sounds, too...
