Or that people in relationships don't talk to other people and meet again later? It seems like a patronising attempt to tell women voters how to feel, to be honest. I got the same impression from the Andrew Pierce piece - his assumption that all women would be horrified by this rather than mildly amused and bored was ridiculous.<br /><br />(Did you see the Telegraph front page, by the way? Some clever placement - the page 1 paragraph uses odd phrasing to mislead one into assuming that Ed had an affair with Stephanie Flanders to the fury of his then-wife, and it's only once you turn the page that you get the detail, which is that he stopped seeing Flanders in 2004, and didn't date his wife till 2005, a year later. Easy for skimreaders to get the wrong impression. I don't suppose they'd be too unhappy if that were to happen...)Dabneynoreply@blogger.com
