KopTalk.com Forums Boris Johnson and letter boxes

Good to hear a woman’s take on it lain. My wife feels pretty much the same too.

I remember a few years back I went to see city vs Liverpool at the eithad it was a sweltering hot day in the high 80,s. Before the game went to buy a drink in the huge asda store near the ground. At the checkout with me was a Muslim girl with two kids with a burka on you could see by her eyes she looked very young maybe 18 or so. Her bearded husband looked late twenties early thirties he had a T shirt and shorts on. I was able to get a close up look at the girl the material of the burka was thick and heavy. I really felt sorry for her she must have been so uncomfortable and on such a lovely day hidden under what was effectively a huge heavy hot sack. I firmly believe this is to oppress women I notice the "me too" brigade the Twitter brigade and the feminists never tackle this subject just as they never tackled the Muslim child grooming gangs. The people who think it's racist to question this practice are as bad as the Muslim men bullies for that's what they are. Anyone also who thinks Johnson is racist for raising this are stupid firstly the context of the telegraph article was he did not want the burka banned but he criticised it. If that's racist then god help us I agree Johnson could have been more tactful but that's Boris he says it as it is. Unlike some of the robot politicians we have mostly who never say anything that offends and offending is not necessarily a bad thing if you are speaking out against evil which the burka surely is.

What he said wasn’t racist but was fukking stupid and will empower racists to use similar language against those who wear the burka. You keep saying you don’t want robot politicians but you can have that without them making stupid inflammatory comments that could lead to people getting hurt.

But Boris knew what he was doing. He’s been out of the limelight so the self serving freak had to say something stupid to get some press time again. Hopefully the torries will kick him out so as not to hand power to Corbyn.

I cant make my mind up about Johnson for Tory leader there is no doubt politicians who say it as it is are being elected all over the western world. Whether thats good or bad I dont know but its a clear fact. Yes he does say untackful or unwise things at times thats the negative for me. The positive is he does spark the silent majority. As for the Burka and encouraging right wing parties I must stronly disagree ignoring the problem is the biggest way to get right wing parties. The muslim child grooming was the biggest boost to the right wing in british history had the authorities addressed it 20 years ago there would not have been the backlash

The very fact that Johnson is being mentioned as a potential leader of the country shows you the sorry state of British politics right now.

Boris looks after Boris and it will always be that way. He has completely abandoned Brexit once he saw the writing on the wall and seemingly he has got away with that as well.

It is no coincidence that this article appeared st a time when he is colluding with the loony racist Steve Bannon. It will be interesting to see who he targets next.

Very scary indeed that idiots like you put them there

The catalyst for this virtue signalling came a couple of weeks back. Johnson when from 5th to 1st as Tory Leader and immediately went ten points ahead. Why ? Because many feel Mays chequers plan is a sell out and will keep in tied to the EU. Not my opinion but certaintly theirs. Johnson is very popular among grass roots Tory members these are the ones who vote in the leader. Cue remain Tory attacks and an invented outrage which it seems is blowing up in their face.

The only people who will put Boris Johnson as leader of the Tories are the Tory membership ordinary men and women across britain and the only people who will put him in charge of britain are the british people. If vish thinks they are idiots so be it everyone is entitled to an opinion

So the civil war within the Tory party goes on.

By the end of Brexit there could be splits in both the Tory and labour parties.

Best thing that could happen to Britain.

For once I agree with you on both counts. This is a historic moment. I have said for years we need new political parties in government both Labour and Tories are outdated they eminate from the 1930's era and the industrial age workers and bosses britain is no longer like that. The labour party will be the first to break up there have already been secret meetings held between the lib dems and moderate labour.
