Bewildering Boris bordered the burkha ban bandwagon because burkhas bother the bovver boys Bothersome Boris brown-noses, the berk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or vice versa. Either way, of all things they should be equal well i equally don't give a fuck about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 It's time this story moved on. Full face veils are alien to our culture and are a dystopian garment. It's the uniform of a fascistic interpretation of Islam and nothing to do with free expression and a woman's right to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraping the bottom of the barrel there Mr Quilp. That piece is 5 years old! Still amusing though. I liked the fire blanket. The comments are very Grauniad as you say. "Up to the individual", "We don't ban things just because we don't like them" etc etc but especially this one: "I've found in life if you want to argue against something, its best to start off from a position of knowledge and not ignorance." I also found it very refreshing that in the stinking morass that is the UK Brexit negotiations yoy can have a journalist called Remona.....

quilp Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Er, yes. I realise the piece is 5 years old. That's the point! The columnist is taking the piss, in a light-hearted manner. Though some islamists and lefties didn't think she should have been. Why has Boris been so vilified? His comments provided a convenient distraction for the furore over Labour anti-semitism and the terrorist's friend, Corbyn. Another "when I" whoosh moment there, methinks...

He knows a lot of the tory faithful will back him and with little May can do about it she will seem weak. Win /Win for Boris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whoosh you hear still is resonating from when you didn't notice the article you link to is poking fun people who get upset about burkhas not people who wear them. Anyway, it is very nice of Tory peers, Mrs May, the chairman of the Tory party and all the right wing newspapers to put so much effort into directing attention away from Corbyn.

Looks to me like she read the ECHR ruling and then decided to jump on the burqa bandwagon citing the ruling as "original me" or whatever.... Dear me, age does tend to make one cynical. But that's experience for you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I don't really get the ban the burqa thing. If people want it banned because it signifies the oppession of females in muslim society then i suppose that's a fair enough view. But boris seemed to be alluding to the potential for committing criminal acts whilst wearing it, i didn't sense much of a spirit of girl power emanating from him. Are there police figures for amount ant type of crime committed whilst wearing a burqa? I somehow doubt it's at the level of dark hooded top and dark jeans.
