I'm not sure he is a reader of Singletrack forum.

he's found a solution 🙂
he continues to be a right knob. It worries me they get any support at all.
Why oh why do the Poles have to produce such crash-worthy aircraft. If he'd fallen into the ground in a Cessna it'd all be over and we could just move on.

Not really very funny! I'm no supporter but he does at least bring some comedic interest to the crashing boredom that is Politics!
I'm tempted to un-ween myself just so that I can be breast fed in public as a protest.
He's got a point though, there's a long list of things that make varying amounts of people feel uncomfortable to varying degrees. If Clariges want to set their bar particularly high that's upto them as long as it's not racist/sexist/ageist/homophobic etc.
I dont think they are allowed to, i think mothers and breastfeeding are a protected characteristic under the equalities act.
Personally i think anyone who finds a mother breastfeeding to be uncomfortable needs to get a grip and stop being an idiot.
Not really very funny!
It wasn't meant to be and I don't find him particularly funny at all. He's the kind of person that would worm his way into power and then head further and further off to the right, beyond where the American Republicans are, beyond the tea party nutters and towards a very nasty place indeed. Sadly the unintelligent will always follow a single-issue orator.

Well, if that's not a reason to want someone to die in a plane crash, I don't know what is! FFS.....
Disagree with them all you like, I shall join you. But silliness like that doesn't help defeat the idiots.
that hat is fantastic 🙂
#ostentatiousbreastfeading on twitter is good
He is basically trolling the UK.
he's his own worst enemy in this why didn't he just leave it at "It doesn't bother me" ? I guess he so keen to be all things to all men he doesn't get the women thing.
[i]so keen to be all things to all men[/i]
He's not though, he's got a very small demographic that he's trying to appeal to. The key thing for him is that they all vote.
Or he could be saying what he actually thinks rather than what a focus group tells he he should say.
Nah he's just saying things that his focus group of bigoted old mysoginist xenophobes like to hear
Ok so that comment was a bit harsh and I apologise. I'm not advocating that he shouldn't be on the planet anymore, I just forsee a time in 20 or 30 years time where historians will look back at that moment and say "what could've been".
I don't agree with his parties primary purpose (to exit Europe), though that is a good and valid political point of view, albeit one that I disagree with. What I fear and believe we should all fear is the agenda that he and other people within his party keep letting slip out. An undercurrent that draws parallels to national socialist ideals (wife stay at home, men go to work, build bigger stronger country isolated from neighbours for the benefit of the state at any human or environmental cost, immigrant and/or some sub-class of society to have reduced or undefined status).
The way he motivates voters is also troublesome - inflaming the selfishness that can arise in people who feel agrieved at something, anything. Those who believe everything that is wrong is somebody else's fault.
I firmly believe that one should take personal responsibility for your own life, but that there should be decent backup provided for when it all goes wrong, along with certain state provided services to hold society together (education, healthcare, transport, justice, etc....). I don't get the impression that Mr Farage and his cronies would want to ultimately provide anything.
The doom-monger within me just sees it panning out like the society in V and so I loop back to that crash & think "oh crap".

A lot different from this daily mail reading forum.

Pregnancy and maternity are, indeed, protected characteristics [url= http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/private-and-public-sector-guidance/guidance-all/protected-characteristics ]Equality and human rights commission[/url]. My understanding is that they are included to try and protect their employment rights, but I guess it could be applied to breast feeding in restaurants as well...
In fact it says as much in the text!
So he wants tits covered up, eh? He obviously doesn't feel the same way about ****s, or he'd be wearing a burka.
Im amazed that this is a news story when at the sametime its been approved that £1.2billion annually will continually be given as aid by the taxpayers to the likes of Nigeria, ****stan and india.
Yeah, what about that hora.

Of course that is completely equivalent to feeding a baby 🙄

Not the ones I'm reading. I'm also somewhat confused by your suggestion that supporting breastfeeding and thinking Farage is an idiot is the sort of opinion a DM reader would hold.

what you didn't get the memo ?
People that find breastfeeding offensive* should not look.
*I find these people offensive yet have to share the planet with them, as much as I'd like to see them relegated to the corner or the 'naughty step'.
Having now heard what he actually said rather than what he was initially reported to have said, I find it hard to be remotely wound about it (and the mother of my kids who has now happily gone through the full cycle of extended breastfeeding three times and was an NCT breastfeeding counsellor too said pretty much the same, she also commented that 99% of mums were discreet and others seemed to act like they had something to prove)
The point about this particular spat is the mum in question was being discrete until claradegs made her wear a massive look I'm breastfeeding triangle over her shoulder and babies head .
[quote=ninfan ]Having now heard what he actually said rather than what he was initially reported to have said, I find it hard to be remotely wound about it
That it was reasonable of Claridges to want to cover her baby with a napkin? That it's reasonable to pander to intolerant older people who could just avoid staring?
