In the mail today I received a very important information booklet from the Scottish Executive telling me all about The Breastfeeding etc. (Scotland) Act 2005. Not sure what the “etc” refers to but the rest of it is enlightening reading.

It seems that the people of Scotland are so repressed that the Grand Poobahs have decided we need a law making it an offence to:

“…prevent or stop a person in charge of a child feeding that child milk in a public place.”

It goes on to define what “Milk” is and what a “Public Place” is, just in case we didn’t know.

Two things here.

1. Why do we need this? Are there really that many people who find this completely natural and normal activity so offensive?
2. Another example of the need to legislate that seems to infect our politicians.

Personally I love tits and as far as I’m concerned the ladies can get them out any time they like.
