Lovely article from Jan Moir...

[BigWeeHag]

who is, for example, a fool.

I am PMSL at her, how many clichés can one woman get into one bile-filled stream of idiocy?

Thread about this in In The News folder....and the consensus is it is a really, really stupid and nasty column.

JM = idiot.

Ah the lovely Jan, champion of the morons. I feel a bit sorry for her, she seems so thick cross.

I'm starting to wonder if she's secretly some kind of comedy performer that's just seeing how much she can get away with in print. You know, a bit like Ann Coulter.

Ah - she is at it again, just remind yourself of that oft quoted saying from Madeleine Albright...

"There is a special place in hell for women who don?t help other women."

God what a load of specious crap.

She really is a nasty woman, isn't she? I didn't read the infamous article she apologised for, and I am really glad now I didn't sully my mind with it.

What a nasty article. I think she does have a point concealed in there somewhere - that over doing the point of bfing where we like (a good thing) might provoke a 'backlash'.

I am all for being allowed to feed babies wherever BUT it does seem a little odd to go into the changing room of a charity shop to do it.

If I did that I'd be in there for an hour and that would be weird. Surely more sensible to go in a cafe and do it with a cup of tea! If you are somewhere with chairs available for all to sit on you should not be stopped from bf, but I don't think we can expect every shop to provide facilities for us, that's just taking the piss IMO. Although actually next time I think I might feed in a bed shop - that would be comfy.

bambipie, I don't think the woman in question went into the shop expressly with the intention of feeding her baby. She happened to be in the changing room to try on some stuff and the baby started fussing, and the shop wasn't busy - no queues for the changing rooms or anything. Can't see the problem really.

The best comment I saw on the Jan Moir article was on Twitter: "Jan Moir hates mothers (she is one) and gay men (her son is one). She must be so utterly miserable. So there's a silver lining, I guess!"

The best comment at the bottom

"feed you child before you leave the house. Cheeky Mare"

Daily mail readers at their very best.

Complete idiots.

The baby was 10 months old and only wanted a 5 minute feed, apparently. I would have done it in a changing room too, if that is where I happened to be at the time.

How can any woman who is a mother write something like that?

Vile.

The best comment was from the charmer who suggested as that he finds seeing people inject insulin a bit squeamish, they should therefore do so in private and respect the fact that although they have a medical need to inject, he has a right not to see it...

Interesting MintyMoo, I wonder whether that was serious or tongue in cheek?

at Ann Coulter/Jan Moir double-act

After finding Anisa Baker in a compromising position with ten-month-old Elsie in the changing room

and to compare it to urinating in public - is there an equivalent to Godwin's Law for this level of ridiculousness?

she seems very, very angry

"and to compare it to urinating in public - is there an equivalent to Godwin's Law for this level of ridiculousness?"

Fuckwit's law perhaps?

Bertie - I would hope tongue in cheek but this is the world of daily mail comments so anything is possible!

am surprised this woman is still allowed access to the public via newsprint tbh after last year. Still it is the DM I suppose

yes, I noticed the compromising position, I know what it means but in my mind she was doing a headstand and the baby was standing on her feet to unscrew the lightbulb

"Previous generations managed perfectly well without the need to breast-feed in public."
Oh that old chestnut. Didn't previous generations manage mix feeding until 6 weeks before it was rusk in a bottle time?

Jan Moir is a first class pratt.

I was just relieved that she didn't give Kristian Digby's death the same treatment of Steven Gately's.

She is a cow and how she sleeps at night I will never know.

i've said it before, jan, if you're reading, you're a tool.

Oh dear.

Why are there so many crap writers out there? It seems that the only way to get published these days is to pick something you know will offend and then bash out a load of tired and boring 'opinion' in the hope that loads of people will get their knickers in a twist. Do you think she wakes up of a morning and thinks 'I am a truly brilliant 21st century writer, yay for me and my sparkling wit and imagination'? Does she fuck! poor cow. Ah well, at least she's making a living.

I find seeing the Daily Mail distasteful and disturbing. Why do people feel it's ok to read it on trains, etc, and so expose other people to their habits? It makes me feel a bit sick and I don't know where to look when I see someone reading it. Can't people just read it in the privacy of their own homes?

lol habbibu
