Diversity Training For Boris?
I’m not sure if laughing is aloud – but I did – heartily.
On a more serious note, Lord Tebbit, a former Tory chairman, accused party chiefs of inflaming the row and allowing Jeremy Corbyn to escape scrutiny over allegations of anti-Semitism.

Furthermore, Rowan Atkinson has written the following to The Times:
‘As a lifelong beneficiary of the freedom to make jokes about religion, I do think that Boris Johnson’s joke about wearers of the burka resembling letterboxes is a pretty good one. All jokes about religion cause offence, so it’s pointless apologising for them. ‘You should really only apologise for a bad joke. On that basis, no apology is required.’

He’s right … isn’t he?

Well done Rowan Atkinson. It seems to me that the tide is turning at last, hope so.

Rockrose, //I have never said it is OK for Muslim men to assault non muslim girls and they should feel the long arm of the law as any sexual predator does.//
That wasn’t the question. Should those people be given diversity training – and what about the women who cover their faces regardless of the fact that they’re in danger of alarming people, especially our children? Should they be given lessons in diversity? An answer to both questions would be appreciated.
Hasidic Jews don’t conceal their faces.
//for someone who professes to be an expert on Muslims//
I’ve never professed to be an expert on Muslims. Other people, you included, do that on my behalf.
Incidentally, I’m surprised you don’t want Muslims to integrate. Why is that?

I am not sure Rockrose does- more likely meant he/she thinks you think you are.
For the record, in case you weren't sure, I do not think you are an expert, and I think some others would agree with me. You do give the impression you know more than most but modestly say that's because others think you are, but maybe that's because you tend to remember better the favourable comments.
As for your OP, no I, don't think Boris should apologise or receive diversity training unless he wants it
