Default UKIP Farage: Mums are 'worth far less' to City firms than men

By Emily Ashton, Whitehall Correspondent (sun+online)

[Nigel Farage has sparked uproar
by declaring that mums
are “worth far less” to City firms than men.

The outspoken UKIP leader suggested
women deserve to be paid less when
they return to work after having a baby.
But he insisted there was no sex discrimination
in financial services because
women "prepared to sacrifice
the family life" do as well as men - "if not better".
His jawdropping rant was branded
"absolute rubbish" by Labour
deputy leader Harriet Harman.
In a double blow for Mr Farage,
he was later hit over the head
by angry protesters dubbing him “Nasty Little Nigel”.
The South East MEP was ambushed
by a jeering mob in Margate, Kent,
in a general anti-UKIP protest.
Ex-City trader Mr Farage had told an
event in London: "In many, many cases,
women make different choices in life
to the ones that men make simply for biological reasons.
"If a woman has a client base and has a child
and takes two or three years off work,
she is worth far less to the employer when
she comes back than when she goes away
because her client base cannot
be stuck rigidly to her."
He said there was "no discrimination
against women at all" in the City.
"I think that young, able women who
are prepared to sacrifice the family
life and stick with their careers do as
well, if not better, than men," he said. ]
