I did like it, even 'tho she's wrong on it being illegal at the moment - 
under English law anything is legal unless there is a law saying it 
isn't.  The issue is making it illegal to harass the dyad, as in the 
Scots' Law.

I left a pithy comment.  But 300 characters was not enough to express my 
style.

A fascinating twist on this, as highlighted by Mike Brady's blog today, 
is that the UK Gov has been put on the hotspot about not upholding 
Code.  And they've named the _Scottish_ law as part of their 
defence!!!!  Ha ha, laughing all the way to the pub!  I hope Holyrood 
pitch a fit.

There has already been a breastfeeding protest at Westminster, arranged 
by my friend Emily, before our paths crossed.  She got 60 Mums 
breastfeeding outside Parliament.. and was mostly ignored by The 
Establishment. 

Personally, I'm really curious as to what the Breastfeeding Manifesto 
people are doing about this...  they've had money and support from a lot 
of  UK agencies to organise the demands for legislation.  And yet, I've 
not noticed their voice raised in the articles exploding everywhere... 
just like there still hasn't been a scrap of official declaration.  
Maybe the fuss will scare them into saying "Oh now, we never meant to do 
that, you've got it all wrong..."

Morgan, I reckon that you and she might get on...I also reckon that perhaps you should submit and opinion piece or two to some newspapers because obviously they're interested right now on this sort of thing (and you do it so well!)
