UK: Jobs for the girls and why it's men who'll soon be suing for discrimination

'David Cameron has a new reason to be cross with Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission president whose appointment he so spectacularly failed to block.

Last week, Juncker warned the Prime Minister that if he wanted a British nominee given charge of one of the big jobs at the Commission, he had better put forward a ‘female candidate’: unless Cameron’s nominee Lord Hill of Oareford undergoes an immediate sex-change operation, that won’t happen.

Yet if the Tory leader finds this unreasonable, he would rightly be accused of hypocrisy.

Yesterday, Rona Fairhead was named as the new head of the BBC Trust — an appointment which Cameron had let it be known he wanted to go to a female (as if that were somehow a special qualification for the role).

And, in fact, Juncker was doing at a European level what Cameron has been up to at Westminster.'
