lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am very worried indeed about this report: it introduces the concept of positive discrimination. I have to say, as usual, that I have never heard so much nonsense talked in my life as I have today. Clearly, nobody here has any experience of the armed forces. I spent a lot of time in the British Army and I am a member of the United Kingdom’s Armed Forces Committee. I can tell you that I have been at sea recently on board Her Majesty’s ships with women who are navigation officers, aviators, filling all sorts of complex and senior roles within the British armed forces. How would you feel if you were the captain of a ship and you have a navigating officer joining you who is a lieutenant commander and a female? Could you trust her or not? Is she there because she is good at her job, or is she there because she is part of a quota? Let us stop this silly nonsense from people with no experience of the armed forces at all!"@en1
