What a Tw*t. Whatever peoples views on the burqua are for a politician to make such unguarded remarks shows a complete lack of class.

"he's gambling there are enough gammons to get him the PM gig"

^This x1000

Everything Johnson does is a gamble.
He gambled on the remainers winning the EU vote. He lost.
He gambled on a leadership bid. He backed down before he could lose.

The only thing I can't work out is if he wants power or fame or both. I think it might be both, and that will be his downfall.

He makes a statement that according to most surveys the British public agree with so what’s the problem?

He is a Tory?

You are from the easily offended snowflake brigade?

He actually defended wearing the burka in certain public situations unlike half a dozen EU countries who have banned it in public places with no outrage.

Get a life !

There's a very hard-hitting commentary piece about Boris Johnston's ambitions to be PM in The Independent. The writer seems to think that it is a lay down misere.

Boris getting the heat, but his article was about Demark imposing a full burqa ban which he disagrees with. Instead all the focus is on his clumsy attempts at humour.
Btw the liberal U.K. has no targeted bans or sanctions at all, unlike Holland, France, Belgium, Austria, Germany plus various autonomous EU regions.
Do we really want to be in a Union with these racists?

Exactly Mario. It's his crass humour that is the problem but because he was a leading brexiteer you're going to give him a free pass on that. You know you can criticise Johnson without having to change your view on brexit. In fact to do so would highlight a character made of principles.
I will take note however that you have labelled a whole host of nations racist for imposing bans on types of Islamic headwear. I'll assume you'll also label as racist people in British politics that propose similar bans also?

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed
