To ban the wearing of the burka for anyone living in England would be just one more
And a very good one , imo |
|
By:
Isn’t it strange I don’t think for example that government should have been allowed to ban punks from dressing up in the 1970s
Because that was in its way quite natural for young people , it was understandable And of course the music was great But that dies not mean that I think that young people should take to wearing a burka , certainly not I can see nothing good or natural about that |

Punks were homegrown too

So did Boris apologize?
|
|
By:
it would be interesting if posters on this thread could indicate whether or not they've read boris' original article.....
Especially given that it's behind a paywall. |
|
By:
Here's some fun.
A quote from Ruth Davidson regarding Boris' article. "“I think it's also not been shown through history that when men make sweeping statements about what women should or shouldn't wear that it goes well for them.” Was this comment in support or against a ban of the niqab & burka in public places? |

By:
She is against a ban as are a lot of Tory 'remainers' suddenly.
The reality is the vast majority of Muslims do not wear them and in some Muslim majority countries there are restrictions on them and it is harder to get certain jobs if they are worn. |

Maajid Nawaz, the reformist Muslim and head of the left of centre Quilliam think tank, which focuses on counter-extremism, said the burka deserves to be "ridiculed".
He said: "This is the uniform of medieval patriarchal tyranny. It victim-blames women for their beauty. Where this is enforced it symbolises violent misogyny. I’m not advocating banning this monstrosity but I refuse to defend it. It deserves to be ridiculed, not the women inside it. "Women defending this have Stockholm syndrome. It is not racist to challenge religion (which is an idea, not a race). It is our civic duty. It is not offensive to remind everyone that this isn’t normal. It is offensive to advocate for this to become normalised." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/burkas-are-like-wearing-a-crucifix-and-should-be-defended-says-ruth-davidson-as-boris-row-escalates/ar-BBLFvL3?li=BBoPRmx |

I had the misfortune to catch 10 minutes of Newsnight last night.
In the intro to the item they showed a photo of an very good looking woman wearing a Niqab. She had beautiful eyes which were made up. I am so tired of their agenda. |
|
By:
....if Bernard Manning would've said it, then it would have been racist.
|

By:
People who have solid opinions or beliefs are rarely offended by ridicule. It is those on uneasy ground who take offence the most readily.
I hope he doesn’t apologise. Yes his remarks can be seen as insulting, belittling.. you name it , it’s all about point of view. Get over it. |
|
By:
Christ, I can't wait for the next Labour politician to say something offensive.
|
|
By:
The Labour Party is a very racist party pineapple , and anti British
Well you have only to listen to them speak the know that |
|
By:
PP,
You mean like McDonnel suggesting McVey should be lynched. I think he got away with that one .. don’t you? |
|
By:
Ruth Davidson claims that banning the burka is like banning wearing a crucifix
First of all, what a sh1t comparison, go read the Q'ran you tool. Secondly, British Airways banned its staff from wearing crucifixes. Where was your outrage then, Ruth ? where were all the street protests ? |
|
By:
Ruth Davidson is not very intelligent
|
|
By:
It would be better for Britain , and the world if those people wearing a burka were to wear a crucifix
Who could deny that ? |
|
By:
Indeed racing cert.
I assume you were the first to say get over it when you read that. |
|
By:
PP, You don’t draw a distinction between commenting on someone’s attire and a death threat, then? I do.
|
|
By:
why did British airways ban the wearing of the crucifix ?
|
|
By:
No worries, thanks for proving my point in minutes though.
|
|
By:
maybe pineapple knows , why did Britush airways ban the crucifix ?

I assume you were the first to say get over it when you read that. ^ Emily Thornberry said I would not want my elderly mother or my 4 year old looked after by someone wearing a Burqa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oowFjF8UKAM&t=425s No outcry because she makes a fair point. Of course PP disagrees with Thornberry because he likes to oppose anything and everything. |
|
By:
No, you'll have to figure that one out for yourself chief.
|
|
By:
Christ, if you're all going to try and prove my point will you please form a queue.
|
|
By:
Ah no answer from pineapple , perhaps he thinks the crucifix will frighten the small children
Like the burka , I don’t know |
|
By:
of course nobody ever changes their minds or admits that they are wrong on these forums but someone approving of lynchings is particularly sad.
|
|
By:
You see everyone withdraws from everyone else, that’s what happens
It seems a terrible lot of trouble to allow people from all over the world into England And then say to the people of England well you may not want people wearing the burka But you will have to accept it , Why are they here in such circumstances there might be very good reasons why I don’t know |
|
By:
What is the benefit to the people of England , that they should have to adapt and accept
You know sometimes I like things to stay the same , especially if I look and can’t see what is good about something What is good about it again ? |
|
By:
Are you offended racing?
|
|
By:
silly question from pineapple , he will be muddled in his thinking again , wait and see.....
|
|
By:
PP, do you understand why Emily Thornberry would not want someone in Burqa looking after her 4 year old or her mother? Do you have any sympathy at all with her view?
|
|
By:
Not in the slightest, PP, but saddened, yes. You can’t really believe what you write on here. Hey, ho.
|
|
By:
He wanted you to say you were offended
|
|
By:
He will have to change tack now
|
|
By:
Well I can only say you need to get over it
 |
|
By:
On the other hand I could be wrong , he might have had something sensible to say
anythings possible , let’s see ... |
|
By:
Ah there you go haha he was determined to say that anyway : )
|

By:
Police are investigating whether or not what Boris said would constitute a hate crime
This is what he metropolitan police are wasting their time on now , perhaps no acid attacks today It’s a very dangerous road that Britain is moving towards |
