We may now be in danger of realising what we've got only when it's gone. Female MEPs are warning of a backlash in the European parliament that they fear may stall, or even reverse, the progress on equality. Sadly, the Ukip MEP Godfrey "they don't clean behind the fridge" Bloom is not the only member of the parliamentary women's committee whose ideas about gender roles come straight from the 50s. Even more worryingly, one of the others is the committee chairwoman, Anna Zaborska.

Blooms never going to live this down. Even though he had the argument right, it will always be painted that he is a sexist. His performance on teh RKS thing won't help either!

British women are not in the habit of paying much attention to the goings on in any of the European institutions. It is time we started.

And if they do that, the pro-EU vote will collapse. So yes ladies and even gentlemen. Please so start taking an interest, before it is too damned late!
