"Top notch deflection. What about that unrelated thing over there?" it's probable that the far righty tory voters are so sickened by deep seated institutional islamophobia within the conservative and unionist party that they are unable to bring themselves to talk about how disgusted they are by it.  | |||

By unrelated thing over there, could you possibly be referring to the Labour Party's horrendous mismanagement of NHS Wales, leaving patients to die in corridors and people to wait 4 days in A&E before a bed is found? A vote for Labour is a vote for an early death it seems, particularly in Wales. | |||

"specifically the deep-seated widespread institutional islamophobia withing the conservative and unionist party... and seemingly their voters by look of things. "So just a generalisation then no specifics.You cannot have a discussion without specifics otherwise it just goes the tory party is Islamophobic no its not yes it is no its not Tell us what you are on about then people can debate the matter and maybe come to a conclusion if not its just another rant post with no substance. | |||

It's in the news today, not just the fringe outlets, the mainstream Tory supporting news outlets. The Tory party whips have been accused of islamaphobia. But I get your point, there's so much anti Islam racism in the current government, it's hard to know which specific one is being discussed. | |||

You're clearly not, and only care about trying to divert attention from the conservative party.
Which is fine. But I'm allowed to poke fun at you for it. Because you're being so obvious. "No, you're way off target. Never heard the expression "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"? The Labour Party and its voters live in such a house. Few, if any, have ever apologised for, acknowledged or even know of the Labour Party's racist shame. I've even heard a lefty moron say that it wasn't racism because Jews aren't black. Labour is officially a proven racist party. Those who support a proven racist party are obviously racists themselves, without question, but are incapable of acknowledging that fact. Oh, and btw - I consider "poking fun" at me to be abusive, something not allowed under forum rules. Knowledge is everything. | |||

"When people in the UK describe Brexit as a shit show what exactly do they mean? From over here it's looks like your economy is booming "Brexit is a shitshow.. Have you tried importing anything recently, a total phuckin mess, add VAT and duty prior to receiving goods, extensive delays at ports. As it stands, I send NOTHING to NI anymore as it isn't worth the grief and time in paperwork filling out ridiculous forms. In the good old days, put VAT number on the consignment and it came through 'at cost', no up front VAT to then wait 2 to 3 months to be paid back and no 5% dropped into a blackhole. Although it gets refunded, it's tied up cash flow., causing prices up and continue to go up beyond pay rises. Mobile roaming, Air passenger compensation scheme and many more benefits of being in a single market, shipping costs now classed as international and substantially increased leads to one conclusion, higher prices. Oh, Brexit fixed immigration too? Really, no labour available and emergency work permits being dished out along with the illegal stance in regards to refugees. Time to take the blinkers off and smell the coffee.. | |||

"the topic of deep rooted and widespread institutional islamophobia within the conservative and unionist party has re-surfaced in the news. what happened to the promise made by the party grandees on live television during the last leadership contest, of an in depth independent inquiry about this deep-seated racism that has persistantly plagued the torys?" There is a problem still in the UK with racism though from what I see it is far less than before. I hear that in the 60's /70's and even 80's it was far far worse. So improvements have been made but still more to do. This appears to also be affecting top level politics from both main parties. Not sure how the UK compares to other countries on this issue. One additional thing though is that there should be proof offered for any such allegation as its a very serious accusation. | |||

"Funny how this country starting tilting tits-up since it happened. Last week a Tory MP was heckled at during PMQs for suggesting Micro Plastic water filters should be compulsory on all new washing machines. Considering the bulk of microplastics in our food is found in the sea and now contaminating the land where crops and cattle is raised due to passing through treatment works and ending up in sludge sprayed on farm land. I'd consider filters a good start. Not heckled down by other Tories for the suggestion of filtration on washing machine waste water." Lacking some crucial context there. That event happened during a debate over the whole Partygate scandal. (I think it was actually an urgent question session over Partygate.) Tory after Tory desperately tried to ignore the vast partygate elephant in the room by asking Johnson totally random questions instead. When this particular guy stood up and asked about microplastics and washing machines, it was no wonder he was greeted by jeers and disbelieving laughter. | |||

To be clear. I'm just poking fun at your for your poor attempt to divert attention from the Tory party islamaphobia problems that this thread is about. If you were pretending to care about racism. You would at least address that issue.
You're clearly not, and only care about trying to divert attention from the conservative party.
Which is fine. But I'm allowed to poke fun at you for it. Because you're being so obvious. " | |||

Professor Sanwar Singh did conduct an inquiry into alleged Conservative Islamaphobia in early 2021, if I remember correctly. " Yes he recorded around 1500 complaints had been made but didn’t bother to ask those involved about the allegations. The report was considered to be a tick box exercise which did nothing to address the endemic problem. Sajjad Karim, a former Tory MEP, said: “The manner in which this inquiry has been conducted means it is nothing but an attempt to whitewash deep-rooted issues out of sight. “It is difficult to identify any basis upon which this has been a serious attempt to address credible and serious matters or deliver on Boris Johnson’s leadership election pledge.” investigative journalists Chris Horrie and David Matthews (who happens to be black) note how; There are two Tory parties: the trendy, socially liberal Notting Hill set which dominates at the national level, and the unreconstructed, reactionary and often bigoted members of Conservative associations at the local level. The latter have yet to reconcile themselves to the reality of modern, multiracial Britain. I would think this last bit may be partly true of all our political parties. | |||

"So one rather unremarkable junior minister gets the sack, like hundreds if not thousands before her. Then she plays the race card at what could be best described as at an opportunistic moment. Then the howls of derision flood in from the anti Semitic Labour party who then have the gall to accuse the Tories of deflection. You really couldn't make this shit up. Boris's political career is dead and buried. There is really no need to keep digging up the corpse and trying to kill it again. Typical Tory response, That from a typical Labour fan. Typical Tory, don’t investigate because Boris is already up to his neck in shit,
Why should it be investigated now?
The alleged incident (which is streuously denied) was over a year ago. She didn't see fit to go public then, so why now?
Could it be something to do with smelling blood now that Boris is well and truly in the middle of a shit storm of his own making?
It's pretty much odds on that one of Boris's enemy's going to get the top job in a few weeks so what better way to get into someones good books and maybe get her job back?
Either that or she has just seen a way of making the party scandal suddenly be all about her. Politicians are good at that you know."She claimed she made the accusation repeatedly through the usuals channels apparently to no avail so decided to go public . Pretty straight forward. | |||

"Whilst I have no doubt that there are racists within Tory ranks, they would have to go some way to plumb the same foul depths of racism as the BNP or the Labour Party. As we all know, but some seem to selectively forget, the EHRC investigation found that the Labour Party had committed unlawful racist acts, but apart from booting Corbyn out, they have done little to progress since the ruling and Corbyn is still hanging around the side lines like a bad smell. I'm sure the usuals will call my post a deflection, but strangely, that always seems to be the case when the hypocrisy of the left is called out. Top notch deflection. What about that unrelated thing over there? By unrelated thing over there, could you possibly be referring to the Labour Party's horrendous mismanagement of NHS Wales, leaving patients to die in corridors and people to wait 4 days in A&E before a bed is found? A vote for Labour is a vote for an early death it seems, particularly in Wales. What about the situation in Patagonia right now? Or have you seen what's happening to the price of copper in Mongolia? I would imagine that the price of copper in Mongolia is irrelevant to a person struggling for breath and dying in an NHS Wales Labour run medical facility. But if a lefty thinks it's more important - well, enough said. What about something else completely unrelated? Why do so many people on here keep saying that only lefties are against race hate? It's just down right weird. Considering that the thread concerns racism, it's not really unrelated is it?
To be clear. I'm just poking fun at your for your poor attempt to divert attention from the Tory party islamaphobia problems that this thread is about. If you were pretending to care about racism. You would at least address that issue.
You're clearly not, and only care about trying to divert attention from the conservative party.
Which is fine. But I'm allowed to poke fun at you for it. Because you're being so obvious.
No, you're way off target. Never heard the expression "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones"? The Labour Party and its voters live in such a house. Few, if any, have ever apologised for, acknowledged or even know of the Labour Party's racist shame. I've even heard a lefty moron say that it wasn't racism because Jews aren't black. Labour is officially a proven racist party. Those who support a proven racist party are obviously racists themselves, without question, but are incapable of acknowledging that fact. Oh, and btw - I consider "poking fun" at me to be abusive, something not allowed under forum rules. Knowledge is everything. " this! | |||

"Defending" their right to wear burquas whilst supporting the right for organisations to demand there removal and all done in the most derisive and critical way possible.
It was not humour, it was political manipulation to excite a certain section of the electorate who are Islamophobic.
He may well not be islamophobic or racist but has no issue encouraging and making use of those who are to serve his own ends. No, not all politicians do this.

'He said he was against bans on face-covering veils in public places, in his Telegraph column, but that it was "ridiculous" people chose to wear them.'
'He said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP surgery - and schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up... looking like a bank robber".
"If you tell me that the burka is oppressive, then I am with you," he said.
"If you say that it is weird and bullying to expect women to cover their faces, then I totally agree - and I would add that I can find no scriptural authority for the practice in the Koran.
"I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes."
He said businesses and government agencies should be able to "enforce a dress code" that allowed them to see customers' faces.'
This I read his post before you dont need to copy and paste it so do you agree with the article or not its an easy question.
Agree with the article? What do you mean? Agree with it being published? The content ? What Boris said ? do you think Boris should have said Muslim women in burkas look like letterboxes? Yes or no? Dont act dumb or are you trying to deflect? what he said is the content
No , I don’t think it was right or correct in that context , why did he have to say it? Wasn’t it really necessary ? so you dont think they have a right to wear one then or that businesses should have the right to see the faces of the people they are dealing with. Interesting."Have businesses "had the right" to see people's faces for the last two years? I, personally, really do not like a cultural expectation to wear a burqa. However, do you really believe that this article was intended to be a humorous and not intended to get a certain group of people behind him for his run at party leader? You do not believe that this was intended to be insulting and derisive? | |||

"the topic of deep rooted and widespread institutional islamophobia within the conservative and unionist party has re-surfaced in the news. what happened to the promise made by the party grandees on live television during the last leadership contest, of an in depth independent inquiry about this deep-seated racism that has persistantly plagued the torys? Lol yes a very racist party, only select whites to higher positions in the cabinet etc; they’ve never had a chancellor, health secretary or Home Secretary that’s not been white. Oh hang on a minute! Ah , the old ‘I can’t be racist I have non white friends ‘ line , good effort How is that even relevant? typical left wing cancel culture.Some of the top government jobs in the country going to ethnic minority's and you class it as i have non white friends unbelievable.
How does having non white people in government prevent the tories from being Islamophobic ? Typical right wing ‘diversion ‘ tactic It doesnt it was in response to the op,s original statement that there is deep routed racism in the tory party would you call having the most diverse cabinet in British history deep seated racism? i would have thought having no diversity would be racism but maybe you can spin it another way to convince me im wrong.
It is irrelevant who is in ‘his ‘ cabinet, I do recall him calling women who wear burkas as looking like letter boxes though . yeah me too but i also remember the whole context of the piece not just one sentence, he was actually defending their right to wear a burka but in this day and age his attempt at humour was misplaced.
It may be irrelevant to you because it debunks the rhetoric that there is deep seated racism in the party but anyone in their right mind can see who has the top jobs or are they just there a a token.
‘Attempt at humour ‘ , o dear, good effort Have you read the article ?
Yes, have you? Boris is either stupid or islamophobic, take your pick Of course i have thats how i know he was defending the right to wear a burka now how do you make that out to be Islamophobic?" | |||

"In the main political parties, we’ve seen different types of racism, whilst everyone was focused on labours anti semitism and rightly so I may add, we let tory islamaphobia go unchecked. As a result it has festered even more, time for the tories to clean house, starting with their leader and purging the party of its more extreme elements. If it sweeps this under the carpet or does some biased “investigation” which gets them off the hook, then we know the party has trully lost its way and needs to be replaced with better people, to stop the rot in our country."

Obviously, your a die hard Tory , your to busy getting offended by immigrants, bbc licence and people pulling down statues of sl*ve traders Is that your idea of a tory no wonder you are so confused.
A ‘die hard ‘ Tory, you and your fellow Tories on here have already proved my point, you think it’s acceptable for Boris to say women in burkas look like letter boxes and the other thinks a Muslim woman complaining about islamophabia is playing the race card, yet you both get offended by immigrant in the channel ? "sorry to disappoint you but i made no such comment about anyone playing the race card and as i said i dont go out looking to be offended on other peoples behalf and no im not offended by the remark as the whole article was in defence of such women. You might want to look at the way you think with your generalisation of people who vote a certain though.People from all walks of life and contrasting views vote for the core beliefs of a party nothing else but you cannot seem to see that.You may also want to look at what you find offensive too, you are getting all hot under the collar about letter boxes but as i recall in the past have no problem calling people gammons which i personally dont find offensive but im sure some might.I think your faux outrage is more about who said it than what was actually said. | |||

Ah , the old ‘I can’t be racist I have non white friends ‘ line , good effort How is that even relevant? typical left wing cancel culture.Some of the top government jobs in the country going to ethnic minority's and you class it as i have non white friends unbelievable.
How does having non white people in government prevent the tories from being Islamophobic ? Typical right wing ‘diversion ‘ tactic It doesnt it was in response to the op,s original statement that there is deep routed racism in the tory party would you call having the most diverse cabinet in British history deep seated racism? i would have thought having no diversity would be racism but maybe you can spin it another way to convince me im wrong.
It is irrelevant who is in ‘his ‘ cabinet, I do recall him calling women who wear burkas as looking like letter boxes though . yeah me too but i also remember the whole context of the piece not just one sentence, he was actually defending their right to wear a burka but in this day and age his attempt at humour was misplaced.
It may be irrelevant to you because it debunks the rhetoric that there is deep seated racism in the party but anyone in their right mind can see who has the top jobs or are they just there a a token.
‘Attempt at humour ‘ , o dear, good effort Have you read the article ?
Yes, have you? Boris is either stupid or islamophobic, take your pick Of course i have thats how i know he was defending the right to wear a burka now how do you make that out to be Islamophobic?
So he is stupid then, only somebody who is really thick would compare women wearing a burka with looking like a letter box. Anyway, he will be home home soon , the most inept , pathetic PM we have ever had So did you agree with the article he wrote or did you disagree?
I refer you to the post by Easy, have a read What cant you answer for yourself now? its a simple question did you agree or not agree with what was written.

"Defending" their right to wear burquas whilst supporting the right for organisations to demand there removal and all done in the most derisive and critical way possible.
It was not humour, it was political manipulation to excite a certain section of the electorate who are Islamophobic.

Agree with the article? What do you mean? Agree with it being published? The content ? What Boris said ? do you think Boris should have said Muslim women in burkas look like letterboxes? Yes or no? Dont act dumb or are you trying to deflect? what he said is the content
No , I don’t think it was right or correct in that context , why did he have to say it? Wasn’t it really necessary ? so you dont think they have a right to wear one then or that businesses should have the right to see the faces of the people they are dealing with. Interesting.
I don’t think he should have used the term ‘looking like letter boxes’ obviously you do, interesting It doesnt bother me no, but im not out looking to be offended every time someone says or writes something.
Obviously, your a die hard Tory , your to busy getting offended by immigrants, bbc licence and people pulling down statues of sl*ve traders Is that your idea of a tory no wonder you are so confused.
A ‘die hard ‘ Tory, you and your fellow Tories on here have already proved my point, you think it’s acceptable for Boris to say women in burkas look like letter boxes and the other thinks a Muslim woman complaining about islamophabia is playing the race card, yet you both get offended by immigrant in the channel ? sorry to disappoint you but i made no such comment about anyone playing the race card and as i said i dont go out looking to be offended on other peoples behalf and no im not offended by the remark as the whole article was in defence of such women. You might want to look at the way you think with your generalisation of people who vote a certain though.People from all walks of life and contrasting views vote for the core beliefs of a party nothing else but you cannot seem to see that.You may also want to look at what you find offensive too, you are getting all hot under the collar about letter boxes but as i recall in the past have no problem calling people gammons which i personally dont find offensive but im sure some might.I think your faux outrage is more about who said it than what was actually said.
I never said you used the ‘race card ‘ line, it came from a fellow Tory , did you get offended when he called homosexual men ‘tank top wearing bum boys’ or was that funny as well??No funny enough i didnt should i have? so back to the point why is calling someone a gammon not offensive in your book but a letter box is?
I have never used the term gammon, if people find it offensive then obviously it shouldn’t be used, gammons can be any race, religion, sex etc "Right so you dont even know what it means that explains why you dont think using it is offensive to some,heres the definition for you.

The Conservative party certainly is not Islamophobic - just look at the current cabinet - Sajid Javid is Muslim and the secretary of state for health and social care and was formerly the chancellor of the exchequer. Additi ally, Boris Johnson is part Muslim himself (his grandfather was Turkish Muslim) Well said.
How can you be ‘part muslim’ ? My grand parents were both Catholics, does that make me ‘part catholic’
You really are a thick little lefty, aren’t you? And I note you’ve blocked me too… scared?
O dear, Personal insults? So, how can you be ‘part Muslim’ ??
Many people who are of mixed heritage eg Christian Mother, Muslim (or any other religion) often say they are both….. a lot of the time they go to both places of worship and celebrate both religious _estivals. Quite a few of my friends do. Obviously you do not know anyone of mixed religious heritage.
So you are saying that because Boris has a distant relative who was a Muslim that makes him ‘part Muslim’?
Yes and he is proud of it too… he has read, studied and even quoted fro the Quran…. But you don’t watch things like that on TV "PMSL, i once read a quote from the Quran, I am now going to repeat it here “Guide Us To The Straight Path” – Surah Fatiha Ayat 6. I am now ‘part Muslim’ | |||

Unless, of course, anyone wants to state categorically that Islam isn't considered a race? If so, "Islamophobia" is nothing more than a dislike of religion, but not racism. You can't have it both ways. | |||

"If Islam is considered to be a race, as it has been, then it's perfectly plausible that Johnson could be considered as mixed-race. The racist ignorance of the left seems to have no limits.

"So, Islamophobia just doesn't exist in the Conservative party and doesn't need investigation even though it keeps being raised from within the Conservative? All of the below was written primarily to defend Muslim women, not insult them and get support from those who have strong Islamophobic tendancies? Really? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45083275.amp 'He said he was against bans on face-covering veils in public places, in his Telegraph column, but that it was "ridiculous" people chose to wear them.' 'He said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP surgery - and schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up... looking like a bank robber". "If you tell me that the burka is oppressive, then I am with you," he said. "If you say that it is weird and bullying to expect women to cover their faces, then I totally agree - and I would add that I can find no scriptural authority for the practice in the Koran. "I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes." He said businesses and government agencies should be able to "enforce a dress code" that allowed them to see customers' faces.'Yes and so they should people have a right to see who they are dealing with, if for instance you run a jewellers would you open your security door to 3 men in micky mouse face masks? if so i suggest you are an idiot." Only answering in part, I see. Should Islamophobia be investigated if Muslims within the party continue to raise a concern? The fact that there are Muslims in senior positions in the party does not make them somehow immune. The former Chairman is one of those raising concerns. Was the article intended to defend their right to wear burqa's? It reads to me like a criticism and you are using it as such. Is describing people as "looking like a bank robber" or "looking like letter boxes" 'humour', or an insult? If I understand you correctly, you do not believe that it was written in such a way as to align with and encourage anyone's prejudices? Have jewellers and banks opened their doors to people wearing masks over the last two years? I do not like the wearing of burqua's. I believe it's isolating. However, that is about encouraging freedom. That is to be worked on in the community. Forcing people to dress in a certain way to access basic services? Is that not state overreach? There has been no problem with this for years, why is there now, unless it provides some votes? | |||

To me it was an article defending the right to wear one,if as you say its to provide votes firstly it was written with the title Demark has got it wrong? in response to Denmark banning the burka so how you see that as a criticism is beyond me
If they were after votes as you say surely the would have gone down the same route as Austria,France,Belguim,Denmark, Bulgaria and the Netherlands and parts of Italy and Spain.

"Is the rise in antisemitism in the UK related to the growing Muslim population ? I read an article somewhere that stated many Jewish families are moving out of England!" Wouldn't blame them. There were videos of some Palestinian protestors shouting "R*pe their daughters and f*ck their mothers" with loudspeakers in public. The police did arrest them. But the fact they had the guts to shout such stuff in the public tells a lot about how bad some places are for the Jews. One of the main reasons why I will vote Tories in spite of the fact that I know they are corrupt. Labour will cuddle with the kind of guys I mentioned above. I would rather live under a corrupt government instead of a government that would keep silent about this kind of behaviour. | |||

"That sounds a little like one of BoJo's apologies. If they "perceive" that there is a problem. However, I will assume that is just a sign of the times and that represents unqualified support. I don't think that anyone indicated that there is a direct causal link between BoJo's article and the complaints. The post was that there is a fundamental problem in the party and at some point talking about the Labour Party and anti-Semitism is not going to work anymore. BoJo's article is an indicator of that. In context, he was starting his run for leader and this is how he chose to gain publicity and support amongst the party membership. This also ligitimises this language and attitude. After all, the Prime Minister wrote it. Your opinion on how I think is interesting, but inaccurate. I can only deduce that you do not think that Muslims should find being described as "looking like a bank robber" or "looking like letter boxes" offensive. Also that these phrases and the expectation that Muslim women should remove their face coverings on demand is, in in fact, a way to defend their right to wear the burqua. It is certainly one interpretation. I do not wear a burqua. I don't think that it is in anyway appropriate. I am not Muslim. What do you think that I "do" that BoJo supports? | |||

So the actions of a small number of people is indicative of everyone of the same religion? I don't view people in that way. That is, in fact, a demonstration of prejudice. Muslims have suffers more abuse since 2011. Eastern Europeans have suffered more abuse during and since the referendum. Chinese more abuse since Covid. The Conservative party "cuddles" with these people. Who should you vote for to prevent that? At least the Labour party has acknowledged the problem and dealt with it. Perhaps that was their mistake. They should just deny everything like the Tory party does, however transparent the lie? I guess you decide what to take offence at. | |||

Really? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45083275.amp 'He said he was against bans on face-covering veils in public places, in his Telegraph column, but that it was "ridiculous" people chose to wear them.' 'He said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP surgery - and schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up... looking like a bank robber". "If you tell me that the burka is oppressive, then I am with you," he said. "If you say that it is weird and bullying to expect women to cover their faces, then I totally agree - and I would add that I can find no scriptural authority for the practice in the Koran. "I would go further and say that it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes." He said businesses and government agencies should be able to "enforce a dress code" that allowed them to see customers' faces.'Yes and so they should people have a right to see who they are dealing with, if for instance you run a jewellers would you open your security door to 3 men in micky mouse face masks? if so i suggest you are an idiot. Only answering in part, I see. Should Islamophobia be investigated if Muslims within the party continue to raise a concern? The fact that there are Muslims in senior positions in the party does not make them somehow immune. The former Chairman is one of those raising concerns. Was the article intended to defend their right to wear burqa's? It reads to me like a criticism and you are using it as such. Is describing people as "looking like a bank robber" or "looking like letter boxes" 'humour', or an insult? If I understand you correctly, you do not believe that it was written in such a way as to align with and encourage anyone's prejudices? Have jewellers and banks opened their doors to people wearing masks over the last two years? I do not like the wearing of burqua's. I believe it's isolating. However, that is about encouraging freedom. That is to be worked on in the community. Forcing people to dress in a certain way to access basic services? Is that not state overreach? There has been no problem with this for years, why is there now, unless it provides some votes?To me it was an article defending the right to wear one,if as you say its to provide votes firstly it was written with the title Demark has got it wrong? in response to Denmark banning the burka so how you see that as a criticism is beyond me
If they were after votes as you say surely the would have gone down the same route as Austria,France,Belguim,Denmark, Bulgaria and the Netherlands and parts of Italy and Spain.
It's a criticism because of the actual content.
A headline and one phrase saying it shouldn't be banned and then going on to mock and insult those who wear it, and explain all the reasons why it should be removed in most circumstances.
You really think that the main body of that article was not doing that?
You also do not believe that it was written to appeal to people who are Islamophobic or prejudiced?
You agree that women should be described in the terms that were used?
I find that interpretation remarkable but people see what they choose to.
If Muslim Tory's say that there is a problem, should they be listened to and something be done about it? What benefit to them or their party on raising the matter of they don't think that it's an issue? yes of course if they perceive there to be a problem of course it should be looked at but this was not brought on by boris,s article supporting the right to wear a burka only you and fab are claiming that.You just cant stand the thought of the guy you despise supporting something you do and just goes to show how bigoted you are.
More personal insults, sad to see I would say more of a fact. "No. You insulted me personally. That's on you. However, BoJo doesn't accept responsibility for his reactions, so why would you? | |||
