This is a typical DM story, being brought to our attention in a typical way, by the Usual Suspect.

BA for Zacs at 10:37 !

and the baby looks Asian!
Just an observation.

[mikey4444]

Asian ?

[Sqad]

or Far Eastern....take your pick.

Ignoring your usual rudeness, the point that I am making is the fact that if the child is old enough to take solid food and the V&A has a cafe which provides such food, why did she choose to breast feed her child in public? If she was not attention seeking, which clearly she was, taking into account her running to the press with the story along with photographs etc.

[pastafreak]

Nooooo....the baby looks very much like its mum.

* rolls eyes *

pasta....ah! right, you mean MS KAT Joyce........artistic director?

It is not judging one, it's called using one's brain to come to a common sense opinion.

[mikey4444]

AOG....what possible business is it of yours if this woman breastfeeds her baby in public or not ?

We all know why the DM featured this story....to sell more newspapers, by feeding its clientele with stories that they will get all over-excited about.

But why you ?

[Zacs-Master]

Because he's one of them Mikey. Fully paid up member of the 'what can I be offended by today even though it hasn't affected me in the slightest' club.

Yes an attention seeking mother.

[aelmpvw]

can't say as i blame her, it's over seven quid for a sandwich in the v&a cafe

[albaqwerty]

you know her personally then aog?

right-o.

[pastafreak]

What's your point sqad? I can see a resemblance...maybe you can't. That baby may also have its father's features...but he is not part of this story. In fact, the baby's ethnic origin shouldn't be either.

[pastafreak]

I think AOG has a tick box listing all the signs of "attention seeking"...with breast feeding in public at the top of the list.

[mikey4444]

To be frank AOG, its you that are attention seeking this morning !

aog, //THECORBYLOON Ignoring your usual rudeness…//

… but you’re not. Just saying. ;o)

Women who breast feed in a manner to which they think they are ‘entitled’ are exhibitionists and for those I have no time whatsoever. Additionally, the child in this instance is doubtless old enough to eat solid foods and is therefore not dependent upon breast milk. However, the analogy between breastfeeding and walking around naked is a spurious one simply because that is not what has happened.

[Sqad]

pasta.....LOL.....I agree......what am I seeing? What is my point?

Well i ask myself is there a "syndrome " emerging...a sort of "movement"...a sect....no, that is the wrong word....a protest.

Symptoms consisting of mother, breast feeding baby in public, intelligent, father may or may not be know, but is not in the picture, probably of differing race........smug, arrogant look on mother's face.
No b ig deal, just wondering.

But she was entitled. The museum director has said so.

[naomi24]

jno, you've misconstrued by post - but hey ho. What's new?.
