Could there be a worse ‘envoy for girls’ than Harriet Harman?

Labour grandee has waltzed into another publicly funded non-job.

She has a terrible track record when it comes to the oppressed and the victimised.

In the 1970s , a civil-liberties campaign group where she worked as a legal officer allowed the Paedophile Information Exchange (the clue’s in the name) to become an affiliate member.

She allegedly suggested that a pornographic photo or film of a child should not be considered indecent unless it could be shown that the subject had suffered.

Not long before she was handed the envoy job, she was granted a peerage.

Her colleague, Patricia Hewitt , general secretary of the NCCL from 1974 to 1983, at least had the belated decency to say in 2014 that she got it wrong on PIE .
