Legs-it, more like sex-it. Who’s pulling whose leg?

It goes to show that when dealing with politicians, of both genders, it makes sense to take your eye off their legs and keep it on the ball, writes Clodagh Finn.

FUNNY old world. On Tuesday, there was uproar when the Daily Mail compared the legs of two of Britain’s most powerful politicians.

Beside a front-page picture of British prime minister Theresa May and Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon, it ran the headline: “Never mind Brexit, who won legs-it?” In the inside pages, a woman wrote an article that invited us — nay, incited us — to compare their lower limbs. Cue outrage and some choice comments. (A favourite: “Article 1950 has just been triggered”.)
