Boris Johnson's Latest 'Gaff'

I thought it rude, but he did say it shouldn’t be banned. I don’t think it was a gaffe, he is a journalist.

I think many people (not just BJ and his cohort) find the wearing of the full face covering inexplicable in a Western society. Why choose to live in a society whose norms are so different to your own? Can I say, before getting jumped on by the pc police, that I am not Islamophobic and am very happy to see Muslim people enjoying life here, same as the rest of us. But this face covering thing is a barrier for many people who are not Muslim.

Most grassroot Conservatives agree with him also

Indeed they do Nicenanny and that's exactly the gallery he's playing to. It was no gaffe.

The BBC is desperate to find another story to replace the much exploited anti-semitism wrangle within the Labour Party; it is a good excuse to Boris-bash, always newsworthy, and certain sectors of the community just love to be seen expressing their outrage on someone else's behalf.

I have heard that the US servicemen call them MBO’s. Moving ,black objects.

So glad I am not the only one!

I agree with Boris's comments, we are far to PC in this country. Most grassroot Conservatives agree with him also.

It’s Summer, the heatwave is almost over, Parliament is out and there’s not so much that they want to write about.
I’m fed up with being told that I am ‘outraged’ or ‘in love’ with something or somebody, as you say it’s the Media that whips it all up.
Why can’t they write about some good things that are happening, there must be some , surely?
