Louise Mensch MP, me,me, me.

Louise Mensch MP has decided that she is standing down as an MP after only two and a half years as one. Her reasons are that she wants to spend more time with her children and her husband of twelve months who works in America where she is now going to live. This self promoting woman must have known when she put her self forward as a prospective candidate for parliament must have known that there were long hours not a nine to five job, and as it turned out she wasn't going to stand again at the 2015 election so one has to wonder why she was only going for one period. Was it to get her snout in the trough for self importance, and contacts? Again she has whinged that long hours have not allowed her time for her children. How many women keep more than two jobs involving long hours away from their children just to keep them fed and clothed. Whilst on the Select committee into the James Murdoch hearing she left 45 minutes early so that she could pick up her children from school, although she had the money to employ a nanny, or a minder to do this. How would it look if female judges halted trials because they or the female barristers wanted to pick their children up from school, how could schools run if teachers did the same. When Parliament closes down for the summer recess, she has 12 weeks when the rest of the working population gets only two weeks summer brake. There are some people that applaud her personally, I hope that we don't see or hear from this woman ever again. She has done nothing to further the cause of women in the work place. With an attitude like hers would any business man worth his salt employ a woman over a man in today's economical climate. A young woman that might get pregnant and want her statutory maternity leave, or a middle aged woman that might want time off to look after her grandchildren. Big government departments might afford to employ these woman because at the end of the day its the tax payer that will be footing the bill, but in a small business its the struggling owner that has to find the money.
