And John Medd - I agree with you both.<br /><br />As an atheist woman living in the UK (where I was born) I have always been led to believe this is a free society and that we are free, or should be, to live according to our beliefs. Our rights cannot trespass on the rights of others and provided that they do not try to do so, and do not break any law, then yes, it's a free country.<br /><br />So, why did Johnson aim his remarks only at Muslim women? Why not our arch-bishops who wear head-dresses and gowns not too often seen in the street these days? Why not Roman Catholic nuns, who also cover themselves from head to foot? Strange how their religious choice of clothing is accepted without comment, let alone condemnation.<br /><br />I believe it's quite obvious who Johnson was aiming his remarks at. I also believe he should be punished by his party for doing so. If this is the free country we are so often told it is, then he is not a fit person to be an MP, let alone lead it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942478546968158905.post-16906446143327264782018-08-10T11:51:33.272+00:002018-08-10T11:51:33.272+00:00You're right, of course.

But, as you say in your piece, Johnson is aiming for the lowest common denominator and - no surprise - hits the target ever time.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.com
