This is a bit old now but still worthy of mention. Two weeks ago the European Parliament published an internal guidance note for its staff drawing up reports and translators about how to use gender neutral language and the pitfalls not to fall into etc.
Well as both Labour MEPs Richard Corbett and Glenis Willmott pick up on , the way the eurosceptic press completely and dishonestly distorted the truth is shameful. Suddenly the European Parliament had banned the use of the words Mrs and Miss across the EU! It really was laughable.
Shame on you Simon Johnson from the Telegraph, the Daily Mail, and the Daily Star. Your false display of indignance and outrage are yet another example of why you never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
