Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "Theresa May condemns Boris Johnson's burka comments" video.

  1. I see no reason to condemn Boris's comments. He is just stating the obvious, there is a geometric similarity with a letter box, The way these women move gliding apparently legless across the high street, I think they look like Daleks. Had he been arguing the case for banning the burka on the grounds that it covers the face and therefore represents a security risk, no one would have been able to object, as a number of EU states have already taken this measure. One might suspect that there maybe an ulterior motive in the burka bans across Europe, is the create a hostile environment for the most Zenith Muslims. In this respect the burka ban is very clever, in that by inclusion of all face coverings, such crash helmets, it makes objection to the law very difficult. I think it is a matter of freedom of speech that strange clothes worn in public should be open to comment. There would not have been any reaction if he had written about Goth or Punk clothing with their associated metal piercings. In the west, the burka is not only seen as an example of religious affectation but also as a political uniform, and as such is seen by some as threating as the leather jackets uniforms warn by the teenage motorbike rockers of the 1960s. It is worth note that the article written by Boris Johnson made a point of not calling for a ban on the burka, as this was against the British principle of freedom of expression and religion. A philosophy of life and let live. Should the same freedom not also apply to speech, when presented with outlandish garb on British streets. When the mini skirt appeared, were the general population forbidden to comment, less it offended the women involved?
