Sailing close to the wind

I had a feeling you'd miss the point of my post and go on one of your rants.  The actions of a member of a Party shouldn't mean that the leader of the party is therefore of the same belief and in the same way, people are free to criticise whatever they like, unless someone calls them racist/islamophobic/anti-Semitic, in which case, maybe they are?

I did read the article by the way, and still think he's a t*t, but I guess so long as he's writing in a way that his intended audience want to read then it's ok?

I agree that people should be able to criticise other people's actions, this should also be a fair plane for all parties.

I didn't realise it was multiple choice

Ah yes, that's the third time you've come out with that. Odd as I haven't even put the caps lock on.
In what way is he Islamaphobic? For attacking the Danish policy on banning niqabs and burqhas? Go on then.
Yes. The reason why social workers dress down and don't wear a suit and tie is to talk direct to who they are dealing with.

And the most you seem to be saying of this is you think he's a t*t? That's what you want him sacked for? Bit harsh.

Aah, yet again the same poor point. Because Labour has an antisemitic party and Corbyn is doing nothing then Theresa should sack Boris over something even you don't think would be justified.

And bringing Labour into every thread?

I just asked the question.  My actual bearing on the matter is irrelevant, as with anyone else posting here.  To clarify, I also agree that people should be able to openly criticise the actions of a state without calls for resignations so I'm just suggesting that either everyone is vilified or everyone is free to comment.  Not one rule for one and one for another.

Theresa May condemned for silence on Islamophobia in Tory party after Boris Johnson's niqab 'letter box' comments

"Alistair Burt, a Foreign Office minister, did criticise his former boss, saying: “I would never have made such a comment - I think there's a degree of offence in that, absolutely right.”

Mr Mughal condemned the “sheer flippancy” of Mr Johnson’s comments – at a time of “the highest number of anti-Muslim hate incidents since we started seven years ago”.

And, asked what had followed from the group’s meeting with Brandon Lewis, the Tory chairman, in June, he replied: “Nothing. The reality is we had one meeting."

Left wing blog site does an article to attack the Conservative party. My flabber has never been so gasted.

Why not just go full on Fake News! and get it over with?  Welcome to Politics and the media.  Just because you agree with Right Wing media writing inflammatory articles about the Left doesn't make them right.

Would you prefer a story about Johnson from The Sun?

Boris says burkas look like 'letter boxes' - but we shouldn't ban them

This a rant?
You could have read it. It was the gist of the article.
