Gerald Warner: Moron

Gerald Warner: Moron

Following up on the eternal saga of Elizabeth Truss, the Telegraph opinion columns plays host to a man who certainly knows his onions. Gerald Warner opines thus on the subject:

Why is adultery acceptable “in this day and age”, when it never was before? Is it any less a breach of a most solemn promise than it always has been? Is it any less hurtful to a spouse? Is it any less damaging to children and family life?

The thrust of his point, such as it is, is that Elizabeth Truss has no place in parliament because she committed adultery. Well, Gerald, that’s a sparkling testimony to your research. She was unmarried at the time. The person committing adultery was the Tory front bench MP she was sleeping with.

And yet somehow, his name doesn’t even come up in the entire piece. I think Warner has a secret contempt for women.
