      He didn’t sneer at the women. He defended (wrongly) their right to wear the burkha & niqab. He was sneering (rightly) at the garments themselves. Have you read the article?!

          of course I have! He took the piss out of them, literally calling them names. Which is a shame because lots of the rest of the article was very measured and sensible. We are never going to agree on this, is there much point in spending time arguing about it on Twitter?

          It’s not language I would use, I agree. But he was mocking the appearance of those garments. You can’t see the women wearing them so how can he have been mocking the women?

          Seriously? That’s rhetorically feeble. I can’t see you right now, but I could easily insult you. In fact it’s much easier to disparage someone whose individuality you can’t discern (as any Twitter troll knows), which is rather the point. It’s lazy knee-jerk dehumanisation.

          No, the burkha and niqab are dehumanising these women, not the people criticising them

          If the extent of our humanity is defined by externals it follows that a person with locked-in syndrome after a stroke is less than human. That a woman in a revealing dress is a piece of sex-meat. That if I can’t understand your language, you’re actually uttering animal gibberish.

          .@JuliaHB1 Everyone’s a feminist when it comes to Muslim women - except of course when it comes to giving Muslim women agency & choice about what they want to wear & how they want to conduct their lives. What kind of feminism is that?

          Most people saying "there was nothing remotely racist about it" are white and have never been called "paki" or followed whilst shopping or going to school because what they're wearing signals to some idiot that they're fair game.A racist dogwhistle & we know he was targeting us.

          Couldn't he just have not fucking done it? Smacks of Bannonism. Inane, unhelpful, and like a lot of what's happening right now, unnecessary.

          He said it was "...ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes." He did *not* say that people were wearing things that looked like letter boxes. So his sneer *was* directed at the *women* looking like letter boxes.

          Bloated privileged scandal-mongers pontificating about what people can wear isn’t a good look. If his column had referred to meetings he had had with women wearing, or not wearing head covering, then he may have deserved some respect.

          The burka is two things; an object of oppression and a political uniform. It matters not the sex, colour or creed of those debating the issue.

          He was laughing at them.....that’s what he should apologise for. The wider argument in the piece was fair enough, and open to debate, but to mock from a position of power and influence is unacceptable.....but of course he has a track record of this.

          Well it’s a rather ridiculous look & if they indeed “choose” to wear it, then they should deal with the reaction just as a clown does. They laugh at us for putting up with this medieval ideology - that men are so weak, women have to be covered so as to not arouse them sexually.
