Baby Wilfred at G7 - what do you think?

Wasn’t there quite a lot of criticism of the photos of baby Archie?

Just saying!

Did people have the same go at Tony and Cherie Blair taking baby Leo to a UN summit? Or introducing him to Bill Clinton?
And presumably Jacques Chirac?

I’ve only just found this thread, and oh dear, there are some horrid posts. A thread about a baby too.

It's not about the baby, per se. You had one of the cooing over the back of its head threads somewhere else.

It's about the inappropriate use of the baby.

Seriously. Nobody is having a go at the Baby !!

I’m not for sure,

1, 2, 3

People criticising Boris but using the child as a means to do so.

I'm certainly criticising Johnson, for using his child...

Where are the so called spiteful comments about the BABY ???

About his dad yes indeed, there is criticism. But that is no more deserving of the word “spite” or “venom” than the H and M threads…..can’t have it both wAys !

Deflection

As are the Wilfred threads.

I don’t understand ?

Bringing Wilfred is a ploy
using the baby as a photo prop
He should be wearing shorts
it looks undignified to appear in public without shorts on
His hair?
Perhaps that was the other thread.

Commenting on how a parent treats their child is not being spiteful about the child!

And everybody seems to like the hair!

This is just ridiculous, really.

if you cant choose what your baby wears for a photo on the beach then what can you choose?
cut the mother some slack.

Shorts, not shirts.

The shirts comments are just ridiculous so they don’t count !!

Nobody's said anything spiteful about the child.

You can see where false news comes from, can't you?

Some nasty comments on here from the Boris Johnson Fan club

I am most certainly not in any Boris Fan Club, especially having voted for Mark Drakeford recently ?, but I do hope I can keep a sense of perspective about what matters, what does not and unnecessary irrelevance and spiteful remarks about an innocent child and his parentage.

I really don't think Wilfred is going to get seriously upset in the future by an ancient faded photo of him sitting on a beach in a T-shirt and nappy/knickers,being cooed by two ladies, one of whom is his mother. I doubt anyone world wide is or ever will be even faintly interested and certainly not reproving. Most people think it's a lovely photo of a sweet baby. I think his hair might embarrass him more in the years to come.

Apologies, I was thinking of the barbecue pic, but equally t shirt and pull ups- if he is going to be sitting on the sand, it makes sense!

But how would Biden manage without Jill - his ever present ‘minder’

Now, THAT is truly bitchy, and very unfair.

I’m not interesting enough, Welbeck but I could post it on GN. Fame at last!

PS what’s wrong with a T-shirt and pants over his nappy on the beach anyway?

Are you seriously suggesting the only choice is either nappy and T shirt or knickerbockers? I

He was wearing more than a nappy!
I was actually referring to what I thought the ridiculous and frankly outmoded suggestion of dressing her baby up to meet important people
When you live in No 10 you are not going to be intimidated by other government leaders! You are “important people” and even if you aren’t , those days are gone.
And for all we know Wilfred may still be breast fed, he’s just over a year isn’t he? Lots of women breastfeed up to 2 or older.
I was merely suggesting an alternative outfit- perhaps the other extreme.
But of course whatever they had done, they would have incurred criticism - but it is entirely irrelevant.

It’s come to mind that there’s a family photo floating around of me, aged 11mths, sitting in just a nappy (towelling, of course!) and sun hat in the sea at Hastings. I’m not embarrassed by it, I look rather cute, even if I say so myself.

but presumably that picture has not been published on front pages across the world, and internet equivalents in perpetuity.
