A mum whose kids were caught up in the Manchester Arena attack is offended by Boris Johnson’s “suicide vest” comment. Do we also have to ban “car crash” interviews in case someone who was in a road accident gets offended? This is utterly ridiculous.https://news.sky.com/story/the-manchester-suicide-bomber-terrified-my-daughters-boris-isnt-fit-for-office-11494007 …

Yes I am and yes you do.

Alrighty then!! Because first came his “joke” about the niqab. Then came today’s outburst. It’s the start of a worrying trend. I don’t (yet) believe BoJo is Islamophobic but he’s seen what traction anti-Semitism gained JC in his party. 1/

First, his article was not Islamophoic. He was defending (in my view, wrongly) the right of women to wear the niqab. He is entitled to use whatever words he wants.

Yes he did. Then ruined it all with the letterbox analogy. He’s started quacking like a duck. I hope he doesn’t start walking like one.

But what is vile about his metaphor?

It’s inflammatory

It’s explosive
