That’s what she gets to do love. Academic freedom just does mean she gets to research any question she thinks is interesting.

    Which is better than what the truth probably is – you need to turn a blind eye while he cheats or more likely whacks off to twisted internet porn. But still, divorce does terrible things to home ownership which is probably what counts.

    > divorce does terrible things to home ownership

    Divorce is one of the factors pushing up house prices: every divorce means another home is needed. The Daily Mail ought to be in favour.
