My latest column for Bristol 24/7 is now online. It is basically a response to a (female) conservative MP implying that trying to get more women on the City Council would mean that they would not be getting elected on merit. As if the current system where almost everything in the country seems to be run by white men is somehow fair and just. Meritocracy my arse. But I’m not allowed to use that as a title in a newspaper.

The article also contains a few thoughts on the statistical probability of the books on Waterstones’ SF promotions tables being fairly chosen.
