Two 'political' posts from me in less than a month!!

This article, published by The Guardian on October 22nd, follows on quite nicely from my previous post on the budget cuts.

Apparently the government did not hold an 'Equality Impact Assessment' for the June 2010 budget, and the Fawcett Society have requested a judicial review with regard to it's failure to honour its legal duty under the Equality Act to give "due regard" to the impact on women.

I wonder if they will get anywhere with their request for a judicial review, and if they do, will anything change?

I very rarely talk politics on the blog - I want it to be a fairly nice place to visit and politics just gets my goat most of the time! However, the proposed public spending cuts are rather making me fume!

I just read the following article via OMammy's blog and it pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter:

So, what do you think?
