The real significance of the Boris burqa row isn’t the row itself; it’s the fact that British politics will increasingly be occupied with this type of inter-ethnic/inter-religious tension. Eventually, it will escalate to actual violence or riots over a remark. Human nature.

Politicians will, of course, become more circumspect about what they say (they’re already pretty careful) while social media becomes ever more wild. The result will be, when someone slips up, there’ll be an explosion.

The fact is that in contemporary Britain people don’t say what they think or feel...even in the pub (even in their home). They’re always checking...who’s listening? It just adds to the misery really.

Of course, I always say what I think and feel. But that doesn’t make you popular, although it’s quite fun.
