Labor MPs in U.K. are indignant over this Lady and ministers are poised to interfere to cut her down to size.  She is the chairperson of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and draws a paycheck of £60,000 from the U.K. government for a two-day week.

At the sweet age of sixty, besides the post mentioned, she is on the board of the Planet Group, New York; she is the chairman of the advisory board of LoSoNoCo, Florida; she is on the boards of an American and also a Turkish university; she is the chairperson of the School of Oriental & African Studies, London; she is the chairperson of Private Equity Investor, PLC, a public company in U.K.; she is the senior independent director of Quintain Estates, U.K.; she is an adviser to Hill & Associates, Hong Kong; she is the deputy chairman of Friends Provident, U.K., and she holds at least a score of other positions in other companies, institutions, and organizations.

Another woman, a Labor MP, U.K., cannot take it any more.  Lindsay Hoyle vented her frustration by asserting that ministers must intervene to examine the phenomenon.  She feels that it is outrageous for a person to hold so many positions at the same time.

The lady we are talking about is of course, a lawyer.  Lady Barbara S. Thomas is keeping all her positions for now, and in spite of the palpable jealousy she’s created by her performance, there has been no allegation or suggestion that she neglects her duties.  Not even from Lindsay Hoyle.

Ladies of her kind only come out of law school!  I tip my hat to Lady Judge and say keep up the good work!  There aren’t many people that would be able to keep a handle on all of those jobs at once.
