Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt is doing his bit for International Women’s Day. Here he is this week meeting with representatives from NGOs to discuss “getting women into business”:
One woman surrounded by eight middle-aged men probably wasn’t the greatest publicity idea ever…

Andrew Pierce on Ed Balls…
“Porky Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls sweet-talked guests at a fund-raising dinner by saying if he wasn’t a politician, he would be a chef. That’s not surprising, since he was accused of cooking the Treasury books when he was Gordon Brown’s boot boy.”
Bloody foreigners, coming over here taking all our twitter followers
Dave is a guilty posh boy
We’re all women now!
Eyup lad thou needs t’keep wimen in t’kitchen making yorkshire pudding. As M’fatha wid say “keep t’bitches were they belong”
I don’t think us Yorkshire folk would refer to women as bitches, that would be too complex linguistically .. having more than one use for a word? That’s just a word reserved for female whhhhhhhippets surely?
2nd from the left has had his tie done up by his mum
I just clipped it on.
Is that Huey from Fun Lovin’ Criminals, on the right?
None of the man has trousers that fit.
You’ve nailed it!
I bet they usually show up for work in jeans and T-shirts, but because they had to have their picture taken they were each given a £250 clothing budget, £5.95 of which they spent in the nearest Oxfam, and the remainder.. well..
8 middle aged men? Spec savers for you Guido.
Mafia trousers, poor ties, and a rum looking lot you would expect to see seeking a job, not in one.
At least it makes up for the wall to wall endless commentary on women’s day from the BBC and their usual suspects.
Rumanian and Bulgarian women coming over here can have handouts to start their knocking shops?
Can they? Good idea.
We need new knocking shops, there aren’t anywhere near enough of them round my neck of the woods and I don’t get anything from the wife now that she’s started a thing up with the young lady the au pair agency sent round.
“One woman surrounded by eight middle-aged men probably wasn’t the greatest publicity idea ever”
Nor was using a crappy camera phone.
Hey, you forgot the -..-.
At least this can serve as a bad example.
Who let the bloody tea lady get into a photo of important men.
no wonder men are horrible,they were brought up by women
listen dear.
to produce a gem requires the joint effort of good ‘un bad.
.
so gem like existence is possible. as all gems know. is the world lazy when one side is putting more effort than the other?
it is our sad reality. the truth is in making an effort.
power needs to be balanced by a sense of duty.
to all.
.
so lets zero up @ dawn and lets zero down @ dusk.
.
at all other times.

it is a no rush world despite psychological pressures.
i.e live truth or be nowt. but the nowt is infinite.
.
nowt times infinite is both nowt and infinite.
so infinite = nowt = zero.
.
the truth is the gem. all actions lead to it. but what is the rush?
meditate.
not,
medi….k…ate.
.
effort to create a gem requires the efforts of the good ‘n bad. the positive and the negative. the male and the female. the dark and the light in equal proportion.
.
world will get us if we are not graceful.
the loop we are in is PDRI. plan, do, review, improve.
so.
de…attach. create great relationships.
the truth is everwhere.
And the Borders Agency let this lot in?
Looks like a couple of dodgy illegal immigrants on either end too.
When you look at that motley bunch, the worst part is realising we have to pay their wages. And their pensions.
They all look pretty honest to me. Unlike the candidates from
‘Spot the difference’ yesterday who looked a right sleazy pair.
How much do this shower of scruffy deadbeats cost us per annum, to the nearest euro, I wonder?
Nigel Farage told Rupert Murdoch at a private London dinner he would form an electoral pact with the Conservative Party if David Cameron quit as prime minister, it has been reported.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the Ukip leader met the News International chairman for a “secret” meal on Tuesday, the pair’s first meeting, in the wake of the Eastleigh by-election which saw Farage’s eurosceptic party push the Tories into third place.
The newspaper reports that Farage told Murdoch he would work with the Tories to defeat Labour in 2015, as long as the prime minister was no longer the party’s leader.
A few background facts:
Murdoch was quite happy to back Blair as his jester for most of the reign of terror.
Blair abandoned ship for the money and Captain Brown took over. Murdoch decided to transfer his backing to the Cameron / Tory party…
Murdoch having repositioned himself BEHIND and with CAMERON … NOW realises that he THE INVINCIBLE MURDOCH was perhaps duped himself.
So good of the humble Murdoch to openly admit that he for once got it wrong. Or is it all about protecting the NI / Newscorp money ship?
Putting yourself behind Milliband and Balls would be really risky as between them they have not a brain and certainly not any wisdom.
No currently serving treasonous MP has any brains or balls – they’re in it for their own ‘celebrity’ and the money they get ‘bunged’ for their celebrity promotion. Follow the MONEYLENDERS!
Whilst you analysis may be correct, the more credible explanation is that once the lunatic Brown took over, what rational business man would remain loyal ? Especially one who specializes in media ?
M may have mis-read Cameron, but the phone hacking was going to come out and take a bite out him whatever.
There was no way anyone could recover from the Grauniad black propaganda on the dead girl phone hack. That was M’s Hamilton moment.
NBW – I have previously written of the eventual ‘conviction’ of Levi Bellfield for Milly’s murder. The point is Bellfield had been protected for many reasons from being convicted “much earlier” – why – and who was attempting to conceal it all?
There were publications where Bellfield was said to have been of Roma origins?
Why is the one on the right wearing rumpled stained trousers? we should be told.
His mum used to do his laundry but he left home.
The next woman in his life should blame the previous one for his behaviour but she wont.
It’s all mens fault see?
Ah that is why I cannot recall being in this picture. Because I wasn’t.
Thought I was loosing my marble for a minute
Is there any exercise more pointless than a group of ‘third sector’ handwringers discussing business?
Everyone in that picture working together couldn’t put together a workable 5-page sales proposal, never mind get “more women into business.”
Got to spend tax payer’s money somehow haven’t they.
International Woman of the Year:

Is it true that the lib dems are having a party to celebrate international womens day and have invited Vicky Pryce to be guest speaker?
Anyone know when International Men’s Day is?
April 1.
The chap on the far right is saying “You waant an ineternational woman? I find you a woman, any country, vairy clean, vairy nice, but she no cheap”
if the antarctic ice is resting on land 2000 meters below sea level then if the ice melts the sea level will drop ?
It should have no effect on sea level, to the extent that it is already below sea level, I think.
the melted ice will take up less space than the frozen ice so water from the oceans should fill the space
yes, the BBC warmists are struggling with this one
I suppose the ice could be pushing the land down so if the ice melts the land could rise to fill the gap but have no idea if it is springy.
Most interesting fact today.
It’ll still have no effect on sea level if the melted ice remained in lakes or inland seas in Antartica. If it ran off the land into the ocean, it would raise sea level.
for that to work we need to know how high top of ice is above sea level compared to total volume of ice
Water when frozen increases its volume by about 9%.
So, a 1km square by 2km high column of ice, when melted, would give you a column of melt water 1km square and 1.82 km high.
The top of the ice would be 200m below where it is now. If that gap is filled by the worlds oceans it would reduce sea levels globally by something less than 3m.
I need funding for childcare so I can get a job in childcare
I shall shortly introduce legislation entitled “Equal Rights For Married Men”
Thank You and Good Morning.
Well done son. Mind You Lord Rennard could hardly See his Dic* let alone operate it??

Dave — Haven’t seen you on prime time telly for 35 hours now — have you fucked off into oblivion?
From little acorns mighty oaks do grow.
Quite so – but WTF is the FO doing meddling in “business”? Isn’t that Vincio’s job?
International Womens day is tosh…Most of disadvantages now affect British Males,NHS spends 9x as much on Women, 70% of wealth in divorce, live 3-5 years longer,pay less into National Insurance,
not good at taking speeding points. Wear too much makeup. Look like the plumber when over 50!
Women Yes/// Femi-bullies,Femi-nazis Noooooooooooooooo
Unemployment 18-24yo and Over 50s affects Males more. Child custody Women still get Children 90% Cases.
Who the f_ck are this lot? What do they actually do?
Please don’t tell me we’re paying to this bunch of poorly clothed misfits?
Word in the casbah is that they have just flown in to check whether or not the UK needs international aid!
Looks more like the cat of The Office … Gawdy Help Us
Gawd help us.
I just hope that isn’t the creme de la creme of the NGO folks.
I fear it is, however.
Looks can be deceiving?
