Quite a bit is currently being made of Nigel Farage’s recent comments on breastfeeding. At first I thought little of it – I try to ignore that irritating little xenophobe.

But then, late last night, an interesting question occurred to me: what would he feel about the sight of people being fed in public? Might he have similar objections? At home I use a device called a Neater Eater to feed myself, but it isn’t very portable, so when I’m out and about my PA feeds me. I wonder whether UKIP’s leader would object to the sight of me or Lyn being fed in, say, a swanky London Restaurant. No doubt he would never admit it, but I deeply suspect, given the snooty little twat he is, that he would discreetly call over a waiter and ask them to ask us either to go into a corner or to leave. We’ll probably never know for sure, although I’d put good money on it. Either way, his recent comments must raise such interesting questions; after all, the two instances are quite similar.
