The Equalities Office has produced a list of 'milestones' celebrating 'women in power' that didn't name Margaret Thatcher as Britain's first woman Prime Minister. Strangely, for a government 'fact sheet', it did name several prominent Labour politicians...none of whom have been Prime Minister! In itself this isn't really a serious oversight, but if they get it so wrong on trivial matters, how can we be sure that they are right on the serious issues?
Your Thursday questions are: -
- British racing driver Damon Hill (right) was born today in 1960 and won his only Formula 1 World Championship for which team in 1996?
- Who was born today in 1901 and circumnavigated the globe, single-handed, in a yacht called 'Gipsy Moth IV'?
