And now we learn that the bastion of the Left, The Guardian, coined the letterbox term back in 2013, and quite hypocritically criticises Boris Johnson for using the exact same word. In 2013, it published a column by Remona Aly entitled ‘Nine uses for a burqa … that don’t involve bashing them.’ In it, the author suggests several alternative uses for the face-covering. Examples included ...
I have been speaking to an educated 92 year old this morning, and whilst he has no time for Boro, he agrees with what he said. He went on to tell me of things that people in this part of the world have no idea as to what is happening in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Bolton. He told me how they have taken over much of those places and named a few no go areas by certain people. I cannot repeat ...

Down here I doubt many has had the same.
lol Call it feckin twatiscm as far as I care, it's still hating those that are different to the "racist" twats that are spouting so much hate!
Boris jumping on the latest bandwagon in his desperate attempt to be prime minister. I'm fed up of hearing how clever he is as he's yet to prove it. Yes burkhas are worthy of debate but not in the way he's done it. Yet again Jonathan Pie sums it up for me ( warning some bad language ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf8uYue1vtk
Islam is a religious ideaology adopted by vast numbers of Africans, Asians, Arabs, ect etc...the list is long.............each with their own unique racial, ethnical and cultural differences. Hating a person based on their religious beliefs is not racism it's bigotry.
