David Beckham defies critics as he kisses daughter Harper, 8, on the lips again

David Beckham has turned his nose up at those who criticised him for kissing his young daughter, sharing another snap of the pair kissing on the lips.
The footballer and eight-year-old daughter Harper Seven were at the Natural History Museum’s ice skating rink, getting in the Christmas spirit.
David captioned the series of pictures: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas πŸ€ΆπŸŽ„.. Thanks to @nhm_icerink for looking after us today.”

He chose to post the picture of him and Harper kissing first, alongside pictures of Harper showing off her skating skills, and the pair having a big daddy-daughter cuddle.

The former England captain, who is also father to Brooklyn, 20, 17-year-old Romeo and Cruz, 13, has come under fire for his decision to kiss his daughter.

Over the years he has been pictured kissing Harper at events and during private family moments, and Piers Morgan called it “creepy” and “weird”.
Good Morning Britain host Piers, 54, attacked the football ace for a video which was taken on the Beckham family’s holiday in Miami, telling viewers: “Why would a father kiss his daughter on the lips? Don’t get it. Creepy. Weird. Creepy.”

The ex-footie star’s loving Instagram posts have been met with a stream of comments from unhappy followers claiming it was “wrong” for a father to kiss his daughter on the lips.
However, troll comments are unlikely to annoy the star, who in 2017 hit out at criticism by insisting he does the same with all of his children, adding: “We want to show our kids love.”

Reacting to the disapproval from some fans, David said: “I got actually criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day. I kiss all my kids on the lips.”
He acknowledged that his eldest son is the only one he would think twice about kissing in public.

He continued: “Brooklyn maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange.
"But I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.

“We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and we’re very affectionate with them.”

Kenyan Law Court dismisses case of man seeking compensation after his wife eloped with another man from hospital

  A lawsuit filed by a man seeking to be compensated by St Mary's Mission Hospital in Kenya for allowing his wife to leave the hospital with another man after giving birth, has been struck out by a law court.    The appellant had sued the St. Mary's Mission hospital at Kakamega law courts in 2020 seeking general damages from the facility on grounds that the hospital had discharged his wife and allowed her to leave with another man. After delivering and at the time of discharge, the wife of the appellant claimed he was the baby's father.   The court of appeal judges Patrick Kiage, Mumbi Ngugi and Francis Tuiyott sitting at the Kisumu Court of Appeal, empathized with the man, but disagreed that he (the appellant) be compensated by the hospital for not detaining his wife.  They upheld the lower court's judgement which added that there's no remedy that lies in the law for such grievances.   Kiage said;   "I agree that if a man takes the woman he loves to t...

Togo prime Minister Komi Klassou resigns

Togo’s prime minister and his government have resigned, the West African nation’s presidency said late Friday. President Faure Gnassingbe congratulated prime minister Komi Selom Klassou and his team for their “economic, political and social efforts and the encouraging results despite the health crisis around the world”, a statement on the presidency’s official website said. Togo has been due for a political reshuffle since Gnassingbe was reelected in February for a fourth term in office, but changes were delayed by the coronavirus pandemic. The president’s election win, which came after a constitutional change allowing him to run, extended more than a half-century of dynastic rule over the former French colony by the Gnassingbe family. The victory was disputed by the main opposition challenger, who has faced official harassment in the wake of the vote. The president has led the country of eight million people since taking over in 2005 following the death of his father Gnass...
