    Yawn, more Farage bashing, alot of things he says are reported out of context - as is the case here, It's just political smearing which many people see for what it is.

    It doesn't take a smear campaign against him to decide he's a prick.

  3. How's it out of context? First he says that establishments should be allowed to set their own rules (against the law) and then he says he supports breast feeding mothers. He's just trying to agree with everyone, while at the same time contradicting himself.

    I think the surrounding context implied he supports breastfeeding mothers however it is not always appropriate/respectful in light of potentially making others feel uncomfortable.

    I dont think its a problem on the whole but there seems to be a hardcore of obstentatious feeders who've nothing better to do than make a meal and 'public display' of breastfeeding, I partially think this stems from society's increased perception of entitlement, an entitlement to do what/when they want, at the expense of neglecting consideration to others.

    If you were talking about something like smoking next to a non smoker, effing and jeffing when there's kids about, letting your dog foul the pavement without cleaning it up or dropping litter, just a few examples a stuff that does and should make people feel uncomfortable, I'd agree with you. This isnt about so much about entitlement, even though in this case I think they are entitled, its about a another media bandwagon to knock a section of people who, lets face it, are not really doing much harm in the grand scheme of things. " Potentially making others feel uncomfortable", maybe, but in the long term people will get used to it and it wont be such a big deal, as it shouldn't be anyway.
