This looks like fuss over nothing. It's not like the shoes are called trollop and despot. There is nothing stopping a girl buying the boy shoes anyway. If it's viewed that this company is telling girls that they can't be leaders, then prove them wrong. If your ambitions are stifled by a shoe shop you've fallen at the first hurdle!

The population remained virtually static for hundreds of years before the 1950's with any migrations being statistically insignificant.

So Clarks shoes are to become gender neutral. I do hope that in years to come I am not required to wear four inch high heals and a half and half scarf to attend Palace matches.

I don't really buy into the idea of pushing a gender agenda in terms of creating everything a gender neutral, that to me lacks the creative spark and initiative, rather it should be to remove the concept of x being for girls and y being for boys in terms of style - and most importantly in the basis that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with selecting say clothing from one, or another, or both gender types to wear. 'Utopia' should be bright, and colourfull and diverse enough that everyone should be able to be who they are (rather than who others insist they should be). There is nothing wrong with a little girl being a 'princess' if she wants, as long as she has the option to be anything else, and so does her brother.

I agree, I don't know why this can't be the case for many other people as well. I think choice allows people to be diverse in what they choose. If something is inappropriate then consumer feedback can be a good thing however, there are cases where I think it can become a little extreme. Companies are being scared by unrepresentative reactions on social media that get mass exposure by media companies with agendas for controversy. This isn't a good or natural way for companies to respond to their costumer demographics.

Do take your head out of your derriere Mr Ganger. I don't mean in numbers, I mean in terms of genes. The idea that Britain has been anything but European for thousands of years is total bulls*** and a deliberate distortion of historical fact. You have proved time and time again that you are clueless on this subject so do pipe down.

You have proved time and time again that you are clueless on this subject so do pipe down. Well its ruling elites haven't been - well not by the kind of definition you're kind of using - They've been very diverse bunch ever since the first Anglo-Saxons landed here and set up shop (before that William guy). Kings born in France, foreign princes and princesses marrying into the elite, and out of the elite, and passing significant ownership of land in and out of the country (which was the basis of power in pre-industrial Britain). Plenty of immigrants in the ruling elite even after they did away with Charles I as well. Our own Queen's parentage, by your definition is heavily European... So yes, whilst the working class migration were mostly British (rather Welsh, Irish, Scottish) these were widely regarded as foreign nations to most - The ruling elite classes were very much migrant based Plus a fair amount of migration to the UK during the protestant wars and purges in Europe to the UK, and during the French Revolution. True, migration of the working classes was mostly internal.

However when it comes to culture, I'm afraid there comes a giant gulf between what many of us regard as valid. Personally I regard that much damage has happened because of left wing ideology on this matter....multiculturalism for example.

True, but genetics don't stop at borders and self identity, which is what I was referring to in the original posters response - 'in don't mean numbers I mean genes'. People are genetically more similar than different.
