I've been trying to imagine the conversations at Lancashire Constabulary before cops decided to tell the world about Nicola Bulley’s reproductive health.
“Do we mention The Change before the boozing, Guv? Or are we saying ‘significant issues with alcohol brought on by her perimenopause’? Or ‘early menopause’…and is it actually early? How about ‘ongoing struggles with the menopause’?
“We need the Detective Super out there too... is Rebecca Smith on her way? Got to have a woman at the press conference. We can’t get this wrong.” But they did. Shockingly and unfathomably wrong.
