Farage (British teabagger): Breast-feeding women might 'sit in corner'
http://www.sfgate.com/news/world/article/Farage-Breast-feeding-women-might-sit-in-corner-5937457.phpBritish politician Nigel Farage on Friday defended a hotel that insisted a breast-feeding mother cover up, suggesting women might "sit in the corner" while they feed their babies.
Farage, leader of Euro-skeptic party UKIP, told LBC radio that public breast-feeding makes some people uncomfortable, and women should do it "in a way that is not openly ostentatious."
He spoke after a mother, Louise Burns, said staff at upmarket hotel Claridge's asked her to cover herself and her baby with a napkin while feeding her in a communal area.
Farage said the hotel had the right to make its own rules, including asking such women to "perhaps sit in the corner."

Nigel Farage is basically the UK's version of Rand Paul, minus the godawful rug.
