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 …

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

2/ He’s experimenting with the same principles in his own party. I really hope his instincts are wrong but I fear not. More, I hope my instincts are wrong. But again I fear not.

Blowing up concerts with child in there is kind of inflammatory. But let's decent that instead of those who criticise. Idiot
