A female employee who sued an insurance company for discrimination still lost her case — as her boss was guilty of incompetence rather than sexism

A judge has branded the word “gents” as “old-fashioned”, describing the term as unsuitable for the modern workplace.

Dawn Shotter said the shortening of “gentlemen” — often used to describe men’s lavatories — was inappropriate in a ruling involving a claim against one of the Britain’s biggest insurance companies.

A female employee at Royal & Sun Alliance sued for sex discrimination after she was included in group emails from her boss that was addressed to “gents”.

On returning from the pilgrimage to Chartres on Whit Monday last week, a young pilgrim was fined for ‘disturbing the peace’ because he was singing with his friends in the corridors of a Paris train station.

The reason is simple: when imposing fines, the transport authorities deliberately target passengers who are convenient for them—who are obviously not the real troublemakers.

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May told the House of Commons that solar panels embody the teachings of Jesus Christ as she endorsed her parish church’s decision to bless newly installed renewable energy equipment.
