Thread Name: BS: Johnson shows his colours (again)
Subject: RE: BS: Johnson shows his colours (again)
So you dredged up a case from Pakistan. Wow. How relevant. Now tell us about any in our neck of the woods, you know, the place where you say you personally feel so threatened. And my question about the poll has nothing to do with brexit. You simply can't address the points being put to you here so you attempt irrelevant diversions (and have the cheek to chastise me for weeds and recipes). You're having your little moody this morning, aren't you? Can't respond so you lash out with your predictably boorish insults. What do you really think the sixty percent would say if asked WHY they'd ban the veil? Do you think that most of the reasons you'd hear would be palatable even to you? Incidentally, making rules for cultures other than your own about what they should wear in public places, just to make YOU feel more comfortable, is classic racism. I heard a chap complaining that the fellow in the Trooping Of The Colour who wore a turban instead of a busby should either conform to British tradition or go back to where he came from (he actually came from West Bromwich, born and bred, when I looked it up). Tell me: do you think that Jews in Israel should be banned from wearing the kippah in public places? After all, they may be making some of the non-Jewish citizens of Israel feel uncomfortable... Personally I'd like to see grown men banned from wearing baseball caps backwards. Well not really.
