No one seems to see any wrong in this (not officially, anyway).<\/p>\n<p>Look at the stupid smiles on the faces of those looking on. It\u2019s in Parliament, for God\u2019s sake, and they\u2019re all sitting around going \u201caaaaaah!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve told this story before, but years ago I was on a skiing holiday in France (or it might have been Switzerland). We had gone into a fairly smart restaurant one night for a meal, and at the table next to us was a family who were having a raclette (a big block of cheese that is melted and into which you dip chunks of bread or meat). They had a baby with them in a high chair.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d just had our main course delivered when I sniffed and said to one of my companions \u201cI think that baby has crapped itself\u201d. And it had. The woman took it to the lavatory and the stench of baby crap remained in the restaurant while we ate our meal. At the time, a small beer cost about three times more than a pint did in the UK, and that meal was similarly priced. If I remember correctly, the proprietor of the restaurant was feeding us free schnapps after our meal \u2013 and it didn\u2019t occur to me until now that it might have been his way of apologising. To be honest, even if he\u2019d have given us the meal for free, it still ballsed up an entire evening, the purpose of which was to eat after a hard day\u2019s skiing, not to experience in this way.<\/p>\n<p>I can state \u2013 as an absolute fact, with no worries whatsoever about being wrong \u2013 I should not have been subjected to that, and the family who\u2019d taken the bloody baby in was a prime example of irresponsible parenting.<\/p>\n<p>People with babies should not be allowed to take them to work, unless work is at Mothercare or some other place where hormone-addled people work. Breastfeeding in public is gross \u2013 the only people who like it are the same hormone-addled specimens, or (if they\u2019re male) perverts trying to pretend they\u2019re not. Anyone normal who says they\u2019re cool with it is just lying, because a part of the body which is overtly sexual for about 95-99% of the time does not become OK to flash about in a restaurant (or in Parliament) just because it means its owner is \u201cmaking a statement\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If you have kids, you\u2019re supposed to change what you do to help them grow up properly. You don\u2019t carry on normally, force everyone around you to change, and have your kids grow up <strong>in spite<\/strong> of you. Which is what this Australian woman is doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story on the MSN newsfeed (in The Telegraph) falls over itself in its gleeful demonstration of pro-feminism.
