Salmond and Cameron used to promote infidelity website

Alex Salmond is being used to advertise a website for unfaithful spouses looking for an affair.

Posters promoting the Victoria Milan dating site and featuring the First Minister and Prime Minister David Cameron are currently appearing across central London and are expected to hit Edinburgh as advertising vans arrive in the capital.

The infidelity dating site, launched in October, has recruited more than three million members. Bosses behind the website say an affair can revive a tired relationship.

That, they claim, makes the subject of a Scottish independence “divorce” the perfect example for their advert.

Mobile billboards featuring David Cameron, Alex Salmond, and a woman wrapped in the union flag say: “Relieve the passion, have an affair.”

Victoria Milan boss, Sigurd Vedal, said: “Maybe it’s better not to break up this genuine relationship between Scotland and United Kingdom, but rather have an affair?”
