Mayor banned from breastfeeding her baby

I was quite speechless after reading this article outlining the appalling treatment of the Mayor of Trafford.

Imagine writing to an elected official telling them they shouldn't wear the mayoral chain when looking after their child - like who would? And that their child shouldn't travel in the official car.

No wonder there are so few women in politics.

    She is/was the Mayor of Trafford, not Stafford.

    Oops you said Salford not Stafford!

    Which given Salford is right next door to Trafford isn't bad really!

    Thank you for pointing out my mistake. The case was heard in Salford County Court.

    I have edited the comment but also included your comments so that the world knows you put me right.

    Are you the Simon I think you might be?

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
