Perhaps because the Fawcett Society pushes ideologically-driven agenda through distortion. This has been covered well on this very blog last month Unity.

I guess Boris declined the invitation because he doesn’t go with the Fawcett Society’s line, just like Ken snubbed NO2ID because he supports ID cards.

“The equality campaigners interview tomorrow’s Mayoral hopefuls. The candidates are invited to brief voters on how they intend to tackle equality. Interestingly, only BoJo has failed to respond to the Society’s invitation”…

I don’t blame him - “How are you going to tackle inequality” sounds like the sort of question a load of sixth form girls would come up with for a sociology assignment. It invites the answer;

“We’ll all hold hands, take a deep breath and just wish it away”

What flavour of inequality and what does “tackle” mean ?
