Simple question Nigel
Would you be making the same "few lines" claims if Johnson had chosen the Orthodox Jewish People as his target - if not, why not

As one of those often on your side of arguments would say: "Hoops"

However I'll respond.
If Boris had chosen the clothing choices of orthodox Jews as a target, my reactions would be much the same. That would not be targeting the Jews, just targeting their clothing.
Similarly if he targeted the Turbans of the Sikhs, as many did when the requirement was brought in for wearing helmets on motorcycles.

Comments on clothing choices are not attacks on those wearing the clothing.

I can often be seen in cassock and surplice. If someone says the clothing looks like a girl's clothing, that is their opinion.
When I was much younger I was told it made me look angelic. Looks can be deceiving.
