Every news and radio station has debates about his comments.
But until he speaks , himself
its wasting debates.

He is now on holiday.

The PM is not doing any action on this , as yet

The PM is low on MP's
due to her STUPID 2017 General Election
Hung Parliament

Just goes to show what a terrible cretin he is. Regardless of a politician's view on burkhas, to insult a piece of religious clothing in such a way is extremely insensitive and prejudiced. I expect the Tories will find themselves struggling to pick up votes from Muslims if he isn't sacked..

What about a piece of non religious clothing? I've decided to take offence by anyone who insults that. Infact why don't we all sew our mouths up? problem solved.

Boris is only talking about clothing here, not the religion. People criticise what others choose to wear all the time.

He's a member of the government, representing his constituents and country, making offensive remarks about a piece of religious clothing in an effort to appeal to the far-right.

Personally, I think it warrants fuss.

Was he trying to appeal to the "far right" when he defended women's right to wear such clothing?

No, probably not. But that doesn't change the fact that what he said was offensive and an attempt to pander to Islamophobia rather than challenge it

Only because some people jump on it as so,which makes things worse,so for me it's too much fuss about the way he described it,I think if most people were asked what it looked like ,they would also concur.

Imagine being a muslim and Bojo is your MP though. it creates a massive disconnect and a feeling, once again, that they are unrepresented and marginalised.

People kicking up a fuss draws attention to something that really isn't a problem for most,personally ,I'de ban them.If we go to their country we are asked to cover up and most people do,otherwise they are imprisoned or even worse !! so what is wrong with us not wanting these worn on our streets.

My MP was John Prescott for most of my life, share a thought for me.

have you considered the possibility that they think it looks like a post box too. It's a statement of fact about an item of clothing. I've made fun of the pope and his hat, loads of comedians have, many have poked fun at nuns uniforms, comedians have fun at jewish clothing, jewish food ... like bacon etc


It's not disrespecting a religion, its commenting on the similarity between an item of clothing and a postal service item.

[JoshBB]

OH that. i thought it was gonna be some kind of 'anti-[group]' comment from what you posted
