The ruling is ''equity''.

''Equity'' destroys nations.

The only way we can be equal is if we all have nothing.

It's basically golddiggers got more money than men and when the council was told to pay them the same, they went bankrupt.

This is the same week I'm hearing because of improper concrete used a few decades ago, kids are having to eat outside because the roof of their school might fall and crush them.....

Link does not work for EU residents - the EU has banned Russia Today and Sputnik to prove just how much it respects the freedom of the press.

How is it banned? Can you switch DNS servers?

Considering it was a nearly 1 billion dollar settlement in their favor, it is time for the "predominantly female Birmingham City Council employees who complained" to step up, do better and give back to the city that has now fallen upon dire straits.

On Tuesday, deputy council leader Sharon Thompson said that the Labour-run organization is facing “longstanding issues, including the council’s historic equal pay liability concerns.” She added that the council “had £1 billion ($1.25 billion) of funding taken away by successive Conservative governments.”

Huh. Got exactly what you asked for, found it was not what you wanted, and it is all not your fault. Sounds like they are screwed for the foreseeable future.

Birmingham, the largest metropolitan area in the UK outside of London, has effectively declared itself bankrupt after its city council shut down all non-essential spending following an equal pay settlement bill that could be as high as $956 million.

The settlement bill stems from a 2012 Supreme Court ruling in favor of predominantly female Birmingham City Council employees who complained that bonus scheme payments had been mainly issued to staff in roles primarily occupied by men.

They're just children. If Bob gets a cookie Alice wants a cookie. Letting your children run the house is bad parenting.
