It's sparked a rise in hate crime. Well done Conservative party.

No i dont think that at all. I think because of his position people will mark it own as a joke and forget about it.

But that doesn't seem to be the case does it, hence you and others still going on about it.

He wasn't arrested because he committed no offence.He is not immune from the law. Ask Mitchell.
Are you being offended on behalf of yourself or others? You talk of disrespect and finding comments not funny.
Well in your words humour is moot or subjective isn't it?
Not so long back you were splitting your sides laughing at two white Englishmen going about their lawful business in an English thoroughfare getting milkshakes thrown over them. They were humiliated and made to look foolish. Where was your respect for them and how did you find that so funny.?
If you use the word 'perverting their body' incorrectly I will tell you that you have a perverse set of morals.
You want to make ridiculous allegations with regards crime committed I will mention three. 1. Criminal Damage 2. Common Assault. 3. Behaviour likely to cause a breech of the peace.
Take you pick spath. I didn't hear you championing the cause of these two men who were victims. You laughed your head off.
Don't come here preaching your morals and respect. You have few of your own.

spath, The burka isn't ridiculous.. it is in the western world, it comes from cultures where women are to be heard and not seen, and in some places not heard or seen, less they get a beating, it's a uniform of subservience, it does not say in the koran to completely cover up or obliterate ones appearance, this garment is man made dictat, its an oppressive and has no place in the 21 century, it gives men carte blanche over females, even in the west as we do not want to offend them.. or be called racist, its not racist to call out oppression, boris could have said, it's a garment of oppression.

Spath - "The burka isn't ridiculous".

That's certainly one opinion - others, me included, happen to think it is ridiculous.

If you think that is racism, then you clearly do not understand what the word means.

[spathiphyllum]

The inability to accept other peoples cultures from a prejudice opinion, along with that you in fact feel superior in the sense you feel you can decide and outright say "That is ridiculous".

From what position do you have any right to say that?

[dannyk13]

Spath //From what position do you have any right to say that?//
He as the same right as you have to post his opinion.

[spathiphyllum]

Oh no right then? No right at all to post an offensive opinion about a minority i'm not involved with.

I thought as much.

Thing is Danny.. I'm not voicing an offensive opinion. So we're doign different things.

er excuse me one milk shake thrower WAS convicted of 1 and 3 I think
he had to pay £500 for Farages suit.

hojab girls regularly offer me their seat on a bus
( I have stopped saying - god do i really look that crap?)

[retrocop]

PP
That was my point. They were charged because they committed criminal offences unlike Boris Johnson who didn’t.
Unless you count our angry young man here who gets his delicate senses offended on behalf of others and dreams up his own misdemeanours.

[Peter Pedant]

hi Retro - are you well
I remember one uuof your colleagues telling ( an Aryan) to put away a union flag as it was upsetting a passer-by - from AsiaI seem to recollect

also a sikh was speaking on behalf of a muslim
you have no idea of the religious significance ( a bit like sinn fein saying o come on Boris you are giving the UVF a hard time)

and as evry reader will confirm, not every crime reported to the police results in any action at all

[vetuste_ennemi]

The burqa is a symbol.

What it is a symbol of I leave as an exercise for the interested reader.

The best way I can put this in a way the thread's creator might understand it is: what would you think if you saw a woman wearing a swastika arm band?

[spathiphyllum]

Comparing a burqa to a swastika...

Is it even worth a response?

OOPS I guess i've just given one.

[spathiphyllum]

Also v_e by the way... the burka isn't a symbol by any means. It's a religious garment.

[vetuste_ennemi]

(The bloke mouthing off is a Sikh in much the same way as a marionnette is a human being. It's alien abduction and a chip implant jobby, isn't it?)

[hereIam]

The burka IS ridiculous.

[vetuste_ennemi]

The burka is ridiculous as is forming ranks on a public thoroughfare and praying on your knees with your arris in the air.

But both things are deeply sinister, too.

// the burka isn't a symbol by any means. It's a religious garment //

No it is not

Face veiling has not been regarded as a religious requirement by most Islamic scholars, past or present.

Reasons for wearing
There exists no single reason why women may wear the burqa, and this practice must be understood within a particular social context. A woman may wear it to express her piety, her views on sexual modesty, her rejection of Western notions of sexuality, her desire for increased mobility or privacy in a social environment dominated by men, or her membership in a political movement. In the most publicized context, women were required, often against their will, to wear the burqa by the Taliban as a matter of policy during their rule of Afghanistan

[spathiphyllum]

I said "Religious Garment" not "Religious Requirement".

[retrocop]

No cigar Spath. Not even a religious garment.
Were you bullied at school and called a towel head?
