Wimmins Rights campaigners have claimed a massive media victory after they managed to completely skew the reporting of the appointment of the Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway. What should have been a straightforward decision to promote the more experienced, better qualified, Dean of the diocese has been turned into a front page battle of the sexes thanks to their persistent efforts.
"This marks a total shift in reporting culture" said Vibratia Graffspot. "That the headlines should focus on the gender of the unsuccessful applicant rather than celebrating the appointee is a huge step forward for wimmins rights."
"Once the Equality Bill is enshrined in law" continued Ms Graffspot, "the compulsory introduction of all female shortlists will enable us to move our campaign to the next level. The headline 'Two women not elected as Bishop' has even greater impact and conveys an even stronger sense of inequality don't you agree?"
