    Banning breastfeeding in your restaurant isn't just your concern; it's a matter of potential discrimination against customers.

    An establishment should have the right to ban such activities if it wishes to.
    'Such activities'? A baby who needs feeding? No, it shouldn't.
    The establishment should of course be free to set the rules, to suggest otherwise is grotesquely illiberal.

    I swear, raving on behalf of or against Thatcher to get almost sexually excited seems about the only thing dinosaurs from the 70s and 80s and children who think they are revolutionaries or the new Thatcher agree upon - we should create a permanent space where these bozos can drone on attacking or defending Thatcher to their heart's content while everyone else gets on with modern problems.
    The slightly scary thing is the original poster has an "I'm with Corbyn" thingy. I think he may actually be serious. ..

    Good Lord, if a baby needs feeding, it needs feeding. What's so threatening about a woman's breast? A little bit of decorum and civility on all sides is all that is required.

    It's a tricky one - most of the tweets appear to be on message Corbynism, but he's wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat and the top two tweets are actually amusing, and one off message for a Corbynite, and I don't associate Corbynites with humour.

    Be fair people. By 'Thatcher years' he means 1979-2016.

    Do you think if someone told Corbyn Thatcher was already dead he'd cheer up, quit and let us have a real opposition again?

    In all honesty, that we have the widest spread of Gold medals is surely an indication of how much we enjoy many sports in this country. We dominate a few, have underperformed perhaps in some, but we competitive in many even when they are niche but passionately supported ones.

    Is hockey won of the posh one's? I can't keep up. Apparently cycling is not classed as posh despite specialist equipment and fancy pants velodromes. Hockey is rough and all you need is two sticks and a pitch, that seems less posh. Horsey dancing, sailing and rowing definitely posh though.
