As parties in Britain stand divided on whether to be a part of the European Union, a Conservative party chairman has clearly picked his own battle. 69 year old Peter Lockyer resigned in a row over who gets to use the local association's lavatory. Clashing with Alan Scard who chose to constantly ignore a 'women-only' sign, bearing the chairman's signature, despite repeated complaints from other staff. Peter quit from his position “with a heavy heart” after admitting defeat in his “principled” battle to stop a male councillor from taking the rules lightly. We all remember Councillor Scard's stand in women's issues from his 2009 statement when he said he would only select a female candidate if she was attractive.
