Insurance Equality

[Bizarra]

The sisters are revolting

Honestly, you wait ages for one car-related story to come along and two arrive at the same time time. Typical.

I've always felt that women getting cheaper insurance was a bit of a bum rap for men.

But then again, on the other hand, I've nearly been absolutely creamed by so-called boy racers on numerous occasions, so I can see the argument from both sides.

But I must admit to having a grim little chuckle in my evil heart at the news that the previously cheaper insurance deals for women have been abolished by the EU under equality legislation.

This has prompted outrage from female motorists everywhere who had been used to paying hundreds of euro less than their male counterparts.

So, in the name of gender balance, the sisterhood are now facing a massive hike in their bills, all in the name of EU political correctness.

But one thing struck me -- if the EU (I still haven't stopped laughing since that appalling organisation was given the Nobel Peace Prize last week) was so concerned, could it not have recommended that the insurance companies lower the price of men's insurance to that of women?

Or even go 50/50 and meet halfway?

No, that would have been a fair solution, and they don't do 'fair' over there.
