Guru enjoyed the irony in Sunday's News of the World story which accused the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) of paying its female staff less than men.
Apparently, figures revealed in an answer to a Parliamentary question tabled by Tory MP Philip Davies, unearthed a pay gap of almost £2,000 at the equality watchdog.
The EOC has come out all guns blazing this morning, pointing to its own data that proves no such gap exists. The News of the Screws story was using the pay of part-time staff and not comparing full-time equivalent earnings, the EOC raged.
Whatever the truth, this is the kind of story Guru really enjoys; heavily laced in irony and completely inaccurate.
Enough of this, Guru is off to pen his latest musings for the back page of next week's Personnel Today.
Now there is some real quality journalism...

A Tory MP found a 'pay gay' at the EOC?
It's no wonder the News of the World was interested.
