Incidentally, this is not a non-story. It came out when the letterbox/bank robber fiasco came out, but was overshadowed by the far more sensational burqagate. I had a vehement argument with my dad about it well over a week ago, and there was an exchange of views about it on Radio 4 as I was "zooming" up the M6 last week. As far as the mass media are concerned, Boris bashing Muslim women is far more delicious and mileage-filled than dull and rather arcane stuff about ministerial codes, etc. Perhaps Keith didn't notice.
