A wonderful article here by the Guardian's Jonathan Jones yesterday - responding to the leader of UKIP (the UK Independence Party), who suggested that mothers can avoid offending others by going into a corner to feed their babies.
His comment followed a media hubbub about a young woman having tea at Claridge's who was asked to cover up with a napkin while she fed her baby. She tweeted a photo - and very quickly a mass breastfeeding protest took place outside the posh (and presumably embarrassed) establishment.
But back to Farage: as Jones explains, the works by Leonardo da Vinci, Giorgione, Caravaggio and others would have poor Nigel in a frenzy. Perhaps it will fuel UKIP's anti-Europe rhetoric and strengthen his argument that Britain should withdraw from the EU on the basis of offensive art.
