Girls On Top in the Capitalist Gangbang

Well, here's a thing: the weather, the last Labour government and the perfidious Euro-wogs are not the only factors which have been holding our economy back. Another difficulty is that there are not enough female chief executives in the FTSE 100; not enough girls are being brought up to be like Maria Miller. Miller, who famously thought that four hundred thousand jobs would be quite adequate for two and a half million people if only the latter looked hard enough, and whose most recent contribution to the present renaissance is a lecture urging artistic types to help her with the price-tags, has now decided that women are essential to a strong economy. Miller is producing a nice, cheap booklet for parents about how to shove the next generation of daughters through the glass ceiling; unfortunately, the present crop of mature females is a bit shopworn from having been a price worth paying for the Osborne economic miracle.
