The Signal.

Dont have a clue as to what it was about 🙁

“…..UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said women should not breastfeed in public in an “openly ostentatious” way because
“some people feel very embarrassed by it”…….”

I completely agree with him on this one, and going by those who phoned LBC on the subject yesterday, so do a lot of
other people. Including a number of women.

I’ve seen women breastfeeding in cafes and restaurants, and for the most part, they have done it in a discreet way.
Trouble is, you also get the attention seeking “earth mothers” who want to make a big show of it.
Then when they politely asked to cover up, go bleating to the newspapers.

Still what the heck, it’s another chance to have a go at Farage. 🙂

………..If we are to encourage more breastfeeding, which is by far and away the best solution for every child, we must get over this ridiculous embarrassment, which is not, incidentally shared in every country………….

You cannot tell people not to be embarrassed.
I think there are those with more knowledge on this subject, who will tell you that breastfeeding is not the best thing
for every child, or mother.

With regard to Nigel – as we have said on many occasions; no-one including your good self actually knows what he stands for. That makes him dangerous in my eyes. Several million people all voting for their version of UKIP doctrine, without actually knowing chapter and verse what it stands for. He is a fool in that he underestimates that, and I ascribe my remarks only to him.

Isn’t that also true of the other parties. How often do they deliver what they promise in their manifestos ?

I still say that Labour would have won the last election if they had ditched Gordon Brown.

Do you who endured the programme share the general criticism of the audience and its participation? .

In what way ? I think there were those who didn’t like being preached to, and weren’t afraid to speak out.
I don’t very often watch the programme myself now, and only watched this one because of who was on the panel.

As others have said. How much longer can the BBC pretend that the panel don’t know the questions that are going to
be put to them ?

The BBC also seem to have a love affair with Russell Brand, I wonder why ?

I would in one stroke ban all store provided plastic shopping bags… you would have to bring your own or purchase a reusable one at about 50P each…

.

I was under the impression that they were bringing out legislation to this effect, earlier this year.
So far the only place other than Lidl or Aldi (who already charge) I have found who charge for bags, seems to be B&Q.

If that”s that appalling programme about real life viewers watching television and commenting then that just about sums up all we need to know about Farage!!

Gogglebox may not be exactly cutting edge television, but it is one of the very few TV programmes that get me laughing.
It’s a bit of escapism, as we don’t watch any of the unreality/talentless/soap output.
My wife never misses The Archers though 🙂
