Sauce for the Goose

Post by Gob »

A Tory MP has agreed to help in a father's campaign to rebrand 'mother and child' parking spaces to be gender neutral.

Ian Taylor, 53, is struggling with his local council in Daventry, Northamptonshire, and the operators of a car park near his home to have the signs changed and achieve 'sexual equality'. And Chris Heaton-Harris is now said to be investigating whether the signs, which show the outline of a woman holding hands with a child, could breach laws on sex discrimination.Mr Taylor, who has two children, said: 'When I first noticed the signs had gone up I wrote to the district council thinking they were responsible.

'It turned out they weren’t, but they said they couldn’t see a problem with what the signs say. 'I then wrote to [car park owners] Colliers International three times asking if they could do something about the signs, but I have never heard a response. 'Because of this lack of action I’ve now written to newspapers, the MP, and other interested parties.

I think there's a certain amount of snark involved.
