I am not that surprised at this, as prejudice and bigotry abound when it comes to nursing mothers.

But in this particular case, the ignorant person making the complaint was another woman !

> How this got to be a BBC news item god only knows.

Did the story feature in any of the 'red tops'? :o)

Talbot....you obviously don't think that a nursing mother being verbally abused in public is serious.

Well I, and others on here do. There is the difference........an absence of empathy.

There are terrible things going on in the world and you think a nursing mother being abused is serious? Maybe you should get out more and get a sense of perspective

[ummmm]

We see more flesh on show at a swimming pool For Funks Sake

I bet the ice-cream tasted good that night.

All a flash in a pan and a lot of publicity-seeking, to which many here have been sucked into commenting, and no pun meant.

I am surprised it wasn't the Daily Wail who stirred this one up.

Presuming the story unfurled as reported I do both empathise and sympathise.

What I wouldn't have done is scurry off to the press, just carried on with my day.

What does it matter if she was with her husband or wife ?

///Amazing lack of empathy on this issue, for a lady that was verbally abused, when out with her baby and husband.///

From link @ 11:54
///Liz Skelcher, 31, had enjoyed dinner with her wife, Clare, 32, when their baby Evie woke up hungry during a day out///

[Mamyalynne]

It doesn't matter a jot Anne, I agree.

Reference to the lady being with her wife was already made at 22.58 last night.

[jackthehat]

I suspect, in some minds, it goes to establishing 'an agenda'....

[anneasquith]

Well, just how shocked must some abers be, breastfeeding in public, and a wife, at least as far as we know she's not Muslim. LOL

[Baldric]

Mamya, JTH, I really couldn't give a monkeys, I was just correcting someone's post from the previous page.
So now who has an agenda?

[jackthehat]

I can't decide whether your assumption that either of us was addressing you, baldric, boils down to paranoia or conceit....

[Mamyalynne]

I was replying to Anne as I made clear.

[anneasquith]

Your " puting mikey right" has no relevance on the story .

DB...I have been out all day, working, hence I was not able to follow up every response to this thread.

As usual Mamy....thanks !
