Compulsory volunteerism: The face of hypocrisy

From the BBC (emphasis added):
Former minister Lord Davies of Abersoch will urge FTSE 350 companies to boost the number of women at the board table to 20% by 2013 and 25% by 2015. But he is expected to stop short of imposing quotas, unless the voluntary measures fail.
Run that by me again. You won't be compelled unless you don't do what the Inner Party tells you to do? I thought we were supposed be shot of this totalitarian mindset, but I must have been mistaken.

What''s the difference between Labour, Conservatives, and Liberal Democrats?  Nothing at all, gentlemen.  Nothing at all.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
