Boris and the burka

It beggars belief that you would need to have that explained to you.

Oh look...another one who can't explain either.
 
"using derogatory terms ie letterbox"

You are all a bunch of Letterboxes! You stink and look like letterboxes and your mum is a letterbox.
 
Will it be racist to say poo through his letterbox from now on if the intended recipient is a Muslim? I'm sure the far left will interperate it as attacking their wives with faeces so they can smear you as far right.

Does this woman robbing a bank not look like a bank robber?

The gun is a bit of a giveaway and I don't think it was mentioned by Bonker Boris?

Of course the real problem with his comments is that they fairly accurately reflect the views of a typical xenophobic, racist, Brexiteer Tory and are enthusiastically applauded by Bonker Boris' fanboys.
 
Sajjad Karim, the Tory party’s MEP for North-West England told the Guardian: “Boris is playing to the gallery that exists at the right of the party” and by refusing to apologise was “positioning himself as the great defender of the right some believe they have to say whatever they like with no regard of consequences for others”.

He added: “This further pushes the boundaries of acceptable political debate into an ever more extreme place.”

After Karim’s comments, a letter signed by about 100 Muslim women who wear the burqa or niqab was sent to Lewis, backing calls for action against Johnson and his supporters, who include the MP Nadine Dorries.

The letter said: “Given a deliberate choice was made to inflame tensions in a way which makes it easier for bigots to justify hate crimes against us, we concur with the Conservative peer Lord Sheikh who has demanded that the whip be withdrawn from Johnson. Furthermore, given the responses from other MPs, specifically Ms Dorries, and the broader concerns raised by the Muslim Council of Britain amongst others, we believe there must now be an independent inquiry into Islamophobia in the party to tackle this issue once and for all.”

Islamophobia appears to be the norm with Tory Brexiteers of all ages.

Maybe you could just explain it so that your allegation of racism can be assessed on evidence rather than assertion?
 
They do have a massive problem with it, far worse than Labour has with antisemitics. Up till now with control of most of the press they have managed to keep Corbyn in the news everyday with his Jewish problems. Boris has just scored an own goal and made everybody look at the Tory party’s massive Islamophobic problem. No way will they be able to keep avoiding an inquiry into Islamophobia now.

Translation: "Looking like a letterbox" is a description that appears apt to a great many English people, of both sexes and across all political parties. I take away from all these posts that people in Burkas have little sense of humour, as well as being effectively unidentifiable, of obtrusive appearance to many British people, and for ever more will be referred to as letterbox people ;) They may as well join in the fun and wear a badge showing the last posting time.
 
"I spoke last night to my very experienced officers who deal with hate crime and, although we have not yet received any allegation of such a crime, I can tell you that my preliminary view having spoken to them is that what Mr Johnson said would not reach the bar for a criminal offence. He did not commit a criminal offence." Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick

Therefore I consider it sorted and I am happy people still can express their opinion.

Now all we need to do is for the Met to point out that Corbyn hasnt done anything illegal either and then we can all hold hands.
