Hello Vincent Mckenna, I remember that, i do recall them as the black moped Robbery type nothing to do with being Islamic, but I understand your concern and point. Thank-you
We should not tolerate these intolerant extremists, and those people calling for an apologise are supporting extremist view and should not be in Government.
Went into a Morrisons filling station and the guy in front of me was a motorcyclist wearing a helmet, He has his credit card in his hand ready to pay. The woman behind the till became quite offensive demanding he remove his helmet before he could pay. his reply was do you want me to pay or not, proffering his credit card. I payed at the next till and left after that. Next week at the same filling station a woman wearing a burka came in to pay. Same woman behing the till and no challenge. One law for them and one for us. They choose to live in our country they must accept our values. In honesty I would now choose to ban the burka in public places. I have no religion but see most countries arround the world seem to be able to bring their religious beliefs into the 21st century. I am afraid islam is still in the dark ages fighting a subtle war for religious domination. It has little place in a free Britain.
Rob Lloyd - as an ex motorcyclist I have experienced that situation a lot. Not just filling stations, but supermarkets, too. I have been told to remove my helmet in a supermarket (a pain... Helmet in one hand, basket in the other, no hands left to shop with) but then the security guard insisted I left my helmet at an unattended till, presumably so I could slip a pack of sausages or pack of biscuits in it... My helmet was worth £200 and I have to leave it unattended for anyone to walk off with (which would then mean I could 't ride home). Lots of anti motorcyclist attitude out there... But would they DARE ask a muslim woman to show her face? Not even in an airport...
If the cashier had asked Mrs burkha to uncover she would have been called RACIST. RACIST. RACIST and an accusation of racism in Britain now is considered worse than baby rape. No problem with Mr motorcycle, he's only white and British.
Zia Smith True, a bicycle helmet is not part of his religious beliefs. And ? b) The burqa is not a requirement in religion I.e Islam. c) Branding someone a fascist spastic is appalling. Especially when he’s not a fascist. And, to call someone a spastic as an insult - that is considered appalling in our culture and rightly so.
Wow. That sounds really concerning, for general traffic safety, if she was driving. I can't quite believe that that would be legal, tbh? I ve tried ona niqab before to see what it's like, and have found that it really affected my field of vision. Never would I drive a car, motorcycle or ride a bike like that.
WINSTON CHURCHILL had a disdain for Islam in his book the River War, Boris Johnson wrote a book about Churchill. British people have a right to defend ithe cultural values of BRITAIN. ISLAM has the right to defend their values but are able to do in MUSLIM countries Saudi Arabia, Middle East, but should not be offended when Europeans express their views to their own cultural stance. ISLAM cannot have it both ways. The dress is acceptable in Saudi Arabia, Middle East but this type of dress is not seen as accepted in Western society, Islamic society is showing a disdain for Western society in the west with its liberal values has said nothing. The time has come to be shown that this is not normal nor an accepted dress practice in Europe, fine in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. Boris Johnson has every right and will probably express the feelings of many British people who will agree with him.
"BAN THE BURKA" and comments Boris Johnson made perfectly fine comparison I'm tired of all this PC in this Country really tired of it and no need to apologies "BAN THE BURKA"
Mikasa Ackerman What is remarkable and wrong is Muslims who leave an Islamic country to move to the UK but think the UK should change to how the country they fled is. So wrong. The UK should be different in that it has a ban on the garment that covers the entire face except the eyes. No culture has its own way completely on a foreign culture.
Jay Jay And, if a woman were to kiss a friend on the cheek as a greeting in Dubai she is arrested imprisoned and deported. That’s ok as that is the law in their land. However, we should have law against the garment that covers the entire face except the eyes in the UK, and It’s not much to ask. I can’t think of any other part of their culture that is illegal in the UK. The UK has been very tolerant to Muslims.
In the West, we live in a highly open, high trust society. That open, trusting democracy requires that you reveal your identity in public spaces. Additionally, humans evolved to require highly integrated social groups to reveal faces. Our brains are wired to assess facial expressions for signs of intent of the person you are looking at. Not being able to see those expressions and signs can only lead to mistrust. Its why we find it so creepy when someone has no movement in their facial muscles when they are speaking or listening. Its why we have whites in our eyes, so that we can see what people are looking at. There is anthropoligical evidence that early humans with little or no whites in their eyes were murdered by the group because they were not trusted. Its why monsters never have whites in their eyes. Covering of the face is intimidating and leads to an inescapable instinct not to trust the person you are talking to. Thats the key phrase here, INESCAPABLE INSTINCT. Instinct cannot be waved away by SJWs and political islam.
Stacker Noob UK : Exactly , so why cause themselves even more problems. Sadly Muslims have been given a bad press because of a minority of ignorant bigots who think they are above the Law. But so little is said by the So called Priests and Community Leaders, and they all wonder why trust has gone.
As a Muslim, I believe Britain should ban it. It is not even part of Islam. I have 2 videos on my channel relating to this. Islam, though, is an amazing religion which has been hijacked.
Origins The Burka is an addition to a religion to cover women up in case another had desires for her, a religion is not a race so to call out someone as racist over the burka which is not an original part of the religion of peace is hypocritical and very misguided religious views are not a race issue, many races follow a faith only a very small proportion of followers require their women to cover up to this extreme. Call them religionist by all means, but racists is insulting peoples intelligence.
It is not a religion, it's a murderous political ideology. Convert or die is not something that can be accommodated in the UK. Or, indeed, any civilised place in the world.
Boris is absolutely spot on, two brief examples as to why. First there was an armed robbery in Bradford during which a WPC was murdered. The robbery was carried out by a so called Somali asylum seeker, who subsequently escaped back to Somalia to evade arrest, and he did so wearing a Burka. Secondly there was a failed attempted bombing in London a fortnight after 7/7. One of the perpetrators whose home was surrounded by Police escaped immediate arrest by travelling to Birmingham by wearing a Burka. These two examples demonstrate the danger of allowing this garment it is a risk to our security and safety and should be made illegal. Boris is quite right, and apart from that just exactly what happened to Boris freedom of speech?
Ask the Nation if the burka be banned in Britain, and you will find the answer will be a resounding YES, that’s why they will not ask the ordinary people. They will only ask if they believe the answer will fall in their favour, Like Brexit, that they now believe they wish they had never had, a referendum, but they cocked up, and are trying to back out of the nations majority decision.
No he should not apologize. You should be able to say what you want but the UK is a nanny state. They put people in jail for words and that is shameful authoritarian nonsense.
IT'S FREE SPEECH, they do look like letter boxes, they do look like bin liners, they do look like loosely clothed ninja's, they do cause separation, it is a symbol of oppressed women, I could go on. He's only saying what the rest of us sensible people are thinking and it's about time somebody said it out loud, I hope it's just not a case for votes.
Apologise for what? They do look like letter boxes. Maybe the people complaining should go down the high streets of old Yorkshire towns such as Huddersfield and Dewsbury and see the rows and rows of letter boxes walking down the streets. England is changing extremely fast and we don't like it.
He should not apologise under any circumstances.The political landscape is changing and the cringing apologetic hang-wringing days of Theresa May are over. The interviewee is an example of everything that is wrong with Islam. Well done Julia , you called him out big time.
If your a motorcyclist you must remove your helmet before entering a petrol station shop, why do the same LAWS not apply to Burka wearers? It’s perfectly fine to discriminate against one group but not another? That is ridiculous and hypocritical and makes no sense what so ever. It’s either one rule for everyone or no rules! Not one rule for one group another rule for another group.. Boris does not own any apology to anyone, people should get over themselves.
Dez Alan Well yes, because then you need to remember the reason why in the U.K. you have to remove your helmet, it’s due to all the robberies that take place, some armed, by people wearing helmets. So it’s a good thing to ask people to remove them, my point was more about the fact that the Burka doesn’t fall under the same laws when it should! You can’t have one law for one group, another for another group..
marksapollo I remove it in banks just not petrol stations and yes I agree it's double standards... First we were told they would integrate now we're told we need to adapt to their culture.
Patricia Thomas we must be pretty weak if 4% of the population are telling us what to do. I advise that you stop reading The Daily Mail so much. Yes, there are extreme Muslims and moderate Muslims, just like there are people with no faith who are tossers and some who are rather nice. I think it's a bit more nuanced than you are perceiving.
No he should not he is right, when my kids first saw a woman in one of those they ran away crying, it's oppressive and usually forced on the woman by fathers or husbands, it has no place in the 21st century and could be interpreted as extreme, Boris bless him although he was a bit too descriptive is absolutely right
No apology, no regret, no surrender to PC bull541t. Mutual respect for all views is needed if freedom of speech and expression is to continue. As a Brit you have the freedom to feel offended, but not the freedom to shut down that which offends you.
I'm sorry Common Sense but being new to this sort of debate I am not familiar with Alex Jones however, if he has been shut down for expressing unpopular views then this is clearly not right. We must resist all attempts to silence freedom of speech and expression. We must be free to comment upon all aspects of our lives and the immigration of Islam is no exception to this.
No. Its seems to me that its the media are more offended than the Muslims. Anyway, this will be forgotten about in a week or two replaced by another media made "controversy"
Sam Spade Oh so abusing women is ok and it's no more than spilt beer I dare you or anyone you know to go to a Muslim area and say that to a man and see wat happens ! Peace
gulli, It's amazing how many people here are peddling ignorance! Moslems are in fact the victim, they are told to wear Bukha and beard, they are being used as useful idiots by the loony left in their politics of class war, they are upset over the policies pursued by Mrs Thatcher when she was in power. Don't get brainwashed, do your own research, get wise.
No, he should not apologise at all. He hasn’t said anything non factual. What is noticeable is how the MP looking to have him fired, is using his religion as a weapon to hold the conservatives to ransom. Urging all Muslims not to vote for the Tory party until he apologises. Moreover; Theresa Mays response is nothing more than sending an instruction to cower to political correctness. Thumbs up to Mrs Hartley-Brewer.
I think we should be allowed to walk around bollock naked. I'd give it a go with the heatwave we've been suffering recently. The burqa and niqab both look ridiculous (and somewhat sinister) and Boris certainly shouldn't apologise for pointing this out.
You cannot win against this type of mentality. Ban women wearing skirts that come to the knee, but it is absolutely fine to walk along the high street looking like a Ninja
I visited an asian cornershop the other day, on the door was a sign requesting people remove helmets and hoods, the woman behind the counter was wearing a headscarf and a veil. that is the definition of "taking the piss"
May's televised rebuke of Johnson was possibly the greatest display of sycophantic capitulation of I've ever witnessed from a national 'leader'. Her words were those of a craven crawler...a toady of the highest order. She has absolutely no place in Britain - let alone the British government.
Unlike the Muslim world UK has a policy of free speech - if that's what he thinks its his choice. I have heard muslim taxi drivers condemning the way british girls dress when they go out on the town - that's their freedom of speech!
Absolutely not! Saying they look like a letterbox is an observation, not a racial slur. Besides, the Burka is related to religion - since when has a religion been a race?
ancietman Having freedom of speech doesn’t mean there are never instances when an apology for something said is appropriate. (Note : I don’t think Boris should apologise for the things he actually said).
In 2017 me & my family visited blackpool pleasure beach and alton towers, shocked how many burkas were worn!!! Made me & my family feel veryl unfortunately & we won't visit these places again! Julia 👍it should be banned and borris weak for not goin far enough!!!
You should write a letter to those places of entertainment as not attending again without them knowing will just mean less business needed to survive without awareness of the thing putting people such as you and others off.
He should not apologise, he should retract all his previous apologies. It is not in our shared historical culture to take offence. At least the Tories might now have to take pause about the validity of ‘hate speech’ laws.
Hate speech laws are a stain on our society. They are an ideological tool to silence us. We will not be silenced. Islam is vile. These laws need to be repealed. Our police service needs retraining from their current brainwashing. Especially the high ranks who were brainwashed at university. No longer centres of learning.
Ban all Islamic clothing for women and men. Islamic clothing is a political statement and shows the wearer has no interest in intergrating into British society.
Did anyone get hurt? No. He had criticism of a dress (fabric isn't a race) which clearly looks odd. Seems OK for people to go around calling Boris names though
No, of course not. He's quite right. And he's entitled to his opinion - looking like a letterbox - had me in stitches. Lighten up and stop being so precious. If you live in Britain, while you are free to live as you choose so long as you do not harm anyone else, everyone should surely respect the culture and deeply held freedoms of the indigenous inhabitants. Cover as much as your body as you like, but not the actual face. It's crucial for real social interaction, both ways, for your face to be shown.
Our government and the shadow government need to understand the majority of the people in this country which as it happens are white and christian cultured should rule, thats what democracy is about. so if people are not happy with our ways and traditions, it is their right to leave and go somewhere where they would be happier.
@Qwfwq66 Passing comment on someone I've barely heard of. You're butthurt because someone has a different opinion to you and you have no idea how to express yourself or form a cogent argument.
first caller says it all why there is culture problems with people in no way wanting to live by western values and rules , they want to bring there culture here and we are all meant to change our ways if not happy then why come to a country you dont agree with
It's time talkRADIO presenters actually studied the history of Islam and read the Hadiths and Quran and stopped peddling IGNORANCE! Islam is a very bad, totalitarian ideology that veils girls from 9 or younger - which in essence sexualizes them as children.
As a Muslim, I believe Britain should ban it. It is not even part of Islam. I have 2 videos on my channel relating to this. Islam, though, is an amazing religion which has been hijacked.
If burka or Hijab oppresses woman's free rights, why not ban it like France. It causes far too much issues around the world in free democratic societies. It is very intimidating and offensive when seeing women dressed like this. Boris should not apologise for his descriptions, they are accurate. There are no rules about dress attire in the UK and there never will. Muslims will always want to oppress womens right to wear what they want. What you wear in Churches or religious buildings is something completely different.
If one of these women wearing the full covering, collapses in the street what is the procedure? Do you try to assess whats wrong by seeing if she is concious or breathing? What if she is not breathing what then?
I don't like the burqa but nonetheless, I guess what you'd do is first, try talking to her. "Are you ok? Can you hear me?" Ask some basic questions to see if she's fully conscious and coherent. If she's not, you could say "I hope you don't mind. It seems like an emergency, I going to remove your veil to see if you're breathing". Like that, you see. Also, you could stop some other passers by and what would be ideal would be to get a woman to help her, if one is around. Better still get another Muslim woman to help her. But if those aren't an option, you help her yourself. Get witnesses if you can as well. I don't agree with the Burqa, but in terms of your question, in that situation, that's how you'd go about helping. If she's not breathing, get the most suitable person present to resuscitate her, but if no one suitable is around then you do this yourself, in order to save her life. Maybe record on your phone just to be safe. There's always a way of doing things even when the situation isn't ideal.
@david mulligan I mean that's kind of low. Basic human dignity. You don't have to stoop to that level. You don't have to agree with the religion, but a life is a life.

If the guy being interviewed could bring himself to apologise for the insulting way he speaks about women, who choose to walk out in a skirt which is up to her knees, then maybe then, he might be right in his demands for an apology from old Boris.
I was asked to carry out a property survey to facilitate a grant of tens of thousands of pounds on a local authority property. One of the frant conditions required me to confirm on a legal document that the tenant was the person making the application. The 3 adult occupants of the property were all women wearing bhurkas, they refused to provide me with any of the verifiable i.d requirements. I refused to authorise the grant. A complaint was made against me on grounds of discrimination. The complaint was NOT upheld. I have no idea if they ever got another surveyor to sign off the grant.
his comments would not be offensive to most British people. These face masks are a grotesque aberration worn by people who have no respect for British traditions or any intention of leaving Pakistan etc behind. So why are they living here,
How about the UK government make it illegal for any woman to be treated as a 2nd rate Citizen, What woman given free choice and no fear of repercussions would wear all black from head to toe in summer heat . Why aren’t the news channels talking about that ?
no i mean Farage he's a sellout he got gifted the referendum by cameron then when he won he ran off and didn't want to see it through and he's become very politically correct he wouldn't dare say the things that Brewer says about islam and the Burqa and he's always showed a disregard for the issues raised by Tommy Robinson it's easy to have verbal battles with politicians but it takes more balls to talk about the things that Brewer talks about she says what she means and means what she says
truthfilter, thank goodness you are not in the government, there are enough woolly brains there already. Nigel Farage wasn't "gifted" the referendum, he fought hard for it and without him we'd never have had one. When the referendum was won he thought that the job was done, Cameron promised that the result would be honoured, the deceit by Theresa May came after he went to continue the fight in the EU. Julia Hartley-Brewer is OK but not a match for Nigel in open debate, I suggest you look at a few of his EU victories before making wild, dismissive, badly thought-out statements.
he was Gifted it only because cameron arrogantly thought he would win and that would be the end of it cameron quit Farage quit Boris ran away i've watched all of Farage's videos over the years just winning the Brexit vote isn't enough he knew this very well even before Brexit just look at ireland and i'm not a woolly brain
This isn't part of British culture. Under no circumstances should Boris apologise.

Ask the Nation if the burka be banned in Britain, and you will find the answer will be a resounding YES, that’s why they will not ask the ordinary people. They will only ask if they believe the answer will fall in their favour, Like Brexit, that they now believe they wish they had never had, a referendum, but they cocked up, and are trying to back out of the nations majority decision.
@Qwfwq66 that one day you may face the gallows.
No he should not apologize.
You should be able to say what you want but the UK is a nanny state. They put people in jail for words and that is shameful authoritarian nonsense.
Brianna Ott ruclips.net/video/soZpqrCji5c/видео.html what's coming out of Hollywood explains how power works but start with the video.
you can not offending people and incite the hatred they will throw you in the prison like any dog
If you dress up like a letter box, be prepared to be compared to a letter box.
That isn't fair. Letter boxes are red
@Qwfwq66 your an insult on humanity.
"Shall I compare thee to a -summer's day- letter box?"
@Qwfwq66 Oh dear, really?
And?
NO APOLOGY IM OFFENDED AT THAT SORT OF CLOTHING AND AGREE IT SHOULD BE BANNED IN PUBLIC
IT'S FREE SPEECH, they do look like letter boxes, they do look like bin liners, they do look like loosely clothed ninja's, they do cause separation, it is a symbol of oppressed women, I could go on. He's only saying what the rest of us sensible people are thinking and it's about time somebody said it out loud, I hope it's just not a case for votes.
Apologise for what? They do look like letter boxes.
Maybe the people complaining should go down the high streets of old Yorkshire towns such as Huddersfield and Dewsbury and see the rows and rows of letter boxes walking down the streets. England is changing extremely fast and we don't like it.
JRM 4 PM Yes, the particular garment does look like a letter box. Obviously it doesn’t look the same. Yet, it does look like one.
And the people blamed: weak government and Guardian readers. All 30.
He should not apologise under any circumstances.The political landscape is changing and the cringing apologetic hang-wringing days of Theresa May are over. The interviewee is an example of everything that is wrong with Islam. Well done Julia , you called him out big time.
If your a motorcyclist you must remove your helmet before entering a petrol station shop, why do the same LAWS not apply to Burka wearers? It’s perfectly fine to discriminate against one group but not another? That is ridiculous and hypocritical and makes no sense what so ever. It’s either one rule for everyone or no rules! Not one rule for one group another rule for another group..
Boris does not own any apology to anyone, people should get over themselves.
Tomas de Torquemada me too I refuse to remove... Bikerphobes!
Dez Alan Well yes, because then you need to remember the reason why in the U.K. you have to remove your helmet, it’s due to all the robberies that take place, some armed, by people wearing helmets. So it’s a good thing to ask people to remove them, my point was more about the fact that the Burka doesn’t fall under the same laws when it should! You can’t have one law for one group, another for another group..
marksapollo I remove it in banks just not petrol stations and yes I agree it's double standards... First we were told they would integrate now we're told we need to adapt to their culture.
Trying to 'debate' someone who is indoctrinated with a medieval, middle-eastern political ideology is like pissing into the wind.
D D Jay bit like trying to stop our government bombing Iraq to fuckery innit?
Hello my friend that's just it we don't have freedom of speech anymore in our own country only the Muslims do what a messed up this planet is .
Patricia Thomas we must be pretty weak if 4% of the population are telling us what to do. I advise that you stop reading The Daily Mail so much. Yes, there are extreme Muslims and moderate Muslims, just like there are people with no faith who are tossers and some who are rather nice. I think it's a bit more nuanced than you are perceiving.
The ever widening gulf of opinion between 'the people' and those in power ,is amusing to see, not just in the UK but the whole of Europe.
Well done Julia! Never back down.
As well as having a polyester Hood and face cloth why not attach a neck clamp and chain dragging a large iron ball? Would that be progressive enough?
Possibly we have one in waiting. Theresa May.
No he should not he is right, when my kids first saw a woman in one of those they ran away crying, it's oppressive and usually forced on the woman by fathers or husbands, it has no place in the 21st century and could be interpreted as extreme, Boris bless him although he was a bit too descriptive is absolutely right
No apology, no regret, no surrender to PC bull541t. Mutual respect for all views is needed if freedom of speech and expression is to continue. As a Brit you have the freedom to feel offended, but not the freedom to shut down that which offends you.
I'm sorry Common Sense but being new to this sort of debate I am not familiar with Alex Jones however, if he has been shut down for expressing unpopular views then this is clearly not right. We must resist all attempts to silence freedom of speech and expression. We must be free to comment upon all aspects of our lives and the immigration of Islam is no exception to this.
No. Its seems to me that its the media are more offended than the Muslims. Anyway, this will be forgotten about in a week or two replaced by another media made "controversy"
Sam Spade Oh so abusing women is ok and it's no more than spilt beer I dare you or anyone you know to go to a Muslim area and say that to a man and see wat happens ! Peace
gulli,
It's amazing how many people here are peddling ignorance!
Moslems are in fact the victim, they are told to wear Bukha and beard, they are being used as useful idiots by the loony left in their politics of class war, they are upset over the policies pursued by Mrs Thatcher when she was in power.
Don't get brainwashed, do your own research, get wise.
James Smythe abusing women is ok not with me but I don't spend all day in a pub ! Peace
James Smythe Told by whom ?
Perhaps such a cultural mindset goes a long way towards explaining the Rotherham scandal
Totally correct.
My bit of History ignore the massive problem in the Catholic church though....they are white, it's ok.
My bit of History , exactly
Goober's Ghost I don't support any abusers, let's have some balance that's all I ask.
When people are so easily offended, you have to stop worrying about offending them.
Wonderful easy way of dealing with it. Good job.
No, he should not apologise at all. He hasn’t said anything non factual. What is noticeable is how the MP looking to have him fired, is using his religion as a weapon to hold the conservatives to ransom. Urging all Muslims not to vote for the Tory party until he apologises. Moreover; Theresa Mays response is nothing more than sending an instruction to cower to political correctness.
Thumbs up to Mrs Hartley-Brewer.
I agree with you Mr Johnson
@Qwfwq66 threatened much 😆
I think we should be allowed to walk around bollock naked. I'd give it a go with the heatwave we've been suffering recently.
The burqa and niqab both look ridiculous (and somewhat sinister) and Boris certainly shouldn't apologise for pointing this out.
It's only to cover the Bruises !
@Qwfwq66 he's right tho.
@Qwfwq66 awww snowflake
No Apology!!!! They do look like robbers.
mjcard
80% don’t work so technically they are robbers.
You cannot win against this type of mentality. Ban women wearing skirts that come to the knee, but it is absolutely fine to walk along the high street looking like a Ninja
Women who wear burqas do NOT have the choice mostly. If they refuse to wear it they suffer repercussions from family members or community memebers.
When in great britain respect the british customs and way of life.
A lot NO most of them have no respect at all for the country they have chosen to live in and the benefits they get from our government.
Stop talking about it ,ban it it's obscene and has no place in Britain today it is wrong in so many ways,🇬🇧
He's talking about the garment not the wearer
I visited an asian cornershop the other day, on the door was a sign requesting people remove helmets and hoods, the woman behind the counter was wearing a headscarf and a veil.
that is the definition of "taking the piss"
Andrew Hayes just read your post, oh the irony of it lol. There piss takers and they know it
Of course not, apology for this, it is silly season is it not..
Boris don't say sorry you will be given in to them and let them get there own way
May's televised rebuke of Johnson was possibly the greatest display of sycophantic capitulation of I've ever witnessed from a national 'leader'. Her words were those of a craven crawler...a toady of the highest order. She has absolutely no place in Britain - let alone the British government.
May is a disgrace
The humpty backed dried up old tart needs to fuck off
I once saw 5 niqab wearing women coming into a store, a child was so scared that it ran to his mother & hid behind her.
The kid was terrified!
@Qwfwq66 - stupid.
No
Julia, love, I think you deserve a medal for your patience.
Unlike the Muslim world UK has a policy of free speech - if that's what he thinks its his choice. I have heard muslim taxi drivers condemning the way british girls dress when they go out on the town - that's their freedom of speech!
Absolutely not! Saying they look like a letterbox is an observation, not a racial slur. Besides, the Burka is related to religion - since when has a religion been a race?
Why should he apologise. In Britain we have freedom of speech I expect the Burka wearers have no understanding of that concept.
ancietman Having freedom of speech doesn’t mean there are never instances when an apology for something said is appropriate. (Note : I don’t think Boris should apologise for the things he actually said).
Boris Johnson has nothing to apologise about, i totally agree with him, I'm a Muslim and i hate burka types clothing.
more of like you come forward
It's nothing to do with choice when you'll be ostracised by your community
Truth Seeker THEN THAT COMMUNITY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO EXIST IN BRITAIN. SEND IT BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
Truth Seeker Absolutely spot on there
taqiya spewing mohammedan.
In 2017 me & my family visited blackpool pleasure beach and alton towers, shocked how many burkas were worn!!! Made me & my family feel veryl unfortunately & we won't visit these places again! Julia 👍it should be banned and borris weak for not goin far enough!!!
You should write a letter to those places of entertainment as not attending again without them knowing will just mean less business needed to survive without awareness of the thing putting people such as you and others off.
Julia I love to listen to you because you say it as it is.
He should not apologise, he should retract all his previous apologies. It is not in our shared historical culture to take offence. At least the Tories might now have to take pause about the validity of ‘hate speech’ laws.
Hate speech laws are a stain on our society. They are an ideological tool to silence us. We will not be silenced. Islam is vile. These laws need to be repealed. Our police service needs retraining from their current brainwashing. Especially the high ranks who were brainwashed at university. No longer centres of learning.
Do we live in a free society or not.
It goes all ways not just Islam's
MAY must go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ban all Islamic clothing for women and men. Islamic clothing is a political statement and shows the wearer has no interest in intergrating into British society.
Did anyone get hurt? No. He had criticism of a dress (fabric isn't a race) which clearly looks odd. Seems OK for people to go around calling Boris names though
Boris keep it 100,ban the ninjas
No, of course not. He's quite right. And he's entitled to his opinion - looking like a letterbox - had me in stitches. Lighten up and stop being so precious. If you live in Britain, while you are free to live as you choose so long as you do not harm anyone else, everyone should surely respect the culture and deeply held freedoms of the indigenous inhabitants. Cover as much as your body as you like, but not the actual face. It's crucial for real social interaction, both ways, for your face to be shown.
Our government and the shadow government need to understand the majority of the people in this country which as it happens are white and christian cultured should rule, thats what democracy is about. so if people are not happy with our ways and traditions, it is their right to leave and go somewhere where they would be happier.
I definitely have a disdain for Islam.
Nice one, Hartley-Brewer. You wiped the floor with the zealot.
@Qwfwq66 Please refer to my previous statement,
@Qwfwq66 Saying someone is wrong isn't shining alight on anything. Please elaborate. Until you do I will assume you're just butthurt
@Qwfwq66 What a cop-out. You're a coward and an intellectual dwarf.
@Qwfwq66 Passing comment on someone I've barely heard of. You're butthurt because someone has a different opinion to you and you have no idea how to express yourself or form a cogent argument.
first caller says it all why there is culture problems with people in no way wanting to live by western values and rules , they want to bring there culture here and we are all meant to change our ways if not happy then why come to a country you dont agree with
(guest)
Well said, Julia.
We need to oppose twisted reasoning....
Keep protesting.
☺
Is it time for Britain to ban the burka or should women be free to wear that they choose?
The imam is such a tool. Yes the burka etc should be banned in public places, in the privacy of their own home or mosque, who cares.
No just deport Muslims many problems solved.
Yes it should
Simple as that
It's time talkRADIO presenters actually studied the history of Islam and read the Hadiths and Quran and stopped peddling IGNORANCE! Islam is a very bad, totalitarian ideology that veils girls from 9 or younger - which in essence sexualizes them as children.
As a Muslim, I believe Britain should ban it. It is not even part of Islam. I have 2 videos on my channel relating to this.
Islam, though, is an amazing religion which has been hijacked.
NO and Mrs May should resign noee
Islam needs a reformation.
Should have gone for letterbox or bee keeper.
If burka or Hijab oppresses woman's free rights, why not ban it like France. It causes far too much issues around the world in free democratic societies. It is very intimidating and offensive when seeing women dressed like this. Boris should not apologise for his descriptions, they are accurate. There are no rules about dress attire in the UK and there never will. Muslims will always want to oppress womens right to wear what they want. What you wear in Churches or religious buildings is something completely different.
If one of these women wearing the full covering, collapses in the street what is the procedure? Do you try to assess whats wrong by seeing if she is concious or breathing? What if she is not breathing what then?
I don't like the burqa but nonetheless, I guess what you'd do is first, try talking to her. "Are you ok? Can you hear me?" Ask some basic questions to see if she's fully conscious and coherent. If she's not, you could say "I hope you don't mind. It seems like an emergency, I going to remove your veil to see if you're breathing". Like that, you see. Also, you could stop some other passers by and what would be ideal would be to get a woman to help her, if one is around. Better still get another Muslim woman to help her. But if those aren't an option, you help her yourself. Get witnesses if you can as well. I don't agree with the Burqa, but in terms of your question, in that situation, that's how you'd go about helping. If she's not breathing, get the most suitable person present to resuscitate her, but if no one suitable is around then you do this yourself, in order to save her life. Maybe record on your phone just to be safe. There's always a way of doing things even when the situation isn't ideal.
@david mulligan I mean that's kind of low. Basic human dignity. You don't have to stoop to that level. You don't have to agree with the religion, but a life is a life.

If the guy being interviewed could bring himself to apologise for the insulting way he speaks about women, who choose to walk out in a skirt which is up to her knees, then maybe then, he might be right in his demands for an apology from old Boris.
I was asked to carry out a property survey to facilitate a grant of tens of thousands of pounds on a local authority property.
One of the frant conditions required me to confirm on a legal document that the tenant was the person making the application.
The 3 adult occupants of the property were all women wearing bhurkas, they refused to provide me with any of the verifiable i.d requirements.
I refused to authorise the grant.
A complaint was made against me on grounds of discrimination.
The complaint was NOT upheld.
I have no idea if they ever got another surveyor to sign off the grant.
Covering the face is anti social!!!
Of course he shouldn't, it was a joke, and funny! How utterly pathetic it has come to this in Britain!
Boris was being naughty - Proving that there are to many thin skinned folk about these days.
Could we have a referendum on it ? 😂😂😂
It’s no good arguing with Imams. Their minds are completely closed
his comments would not be offensive to most British people. These face masks are a grotesque aberration worn by people who have no respect for British traditions or any intention of leaving Pakistan etc behind. So why are they living here,
Face coverings are foreign to our culture. It was funny to read that they "looked like letter boxes."
The radio presenter is perfectly right
Good on u luv
Thank god for brave people like urself 👍👌💯
How about the UK government make it illegal for any woman to be treated as a 2nd rate Citizen, What woman given free choice and no fear of repercussions would wear all black from head to toe in summer heat . Why aren’t the news channels talking about that ?
If you're entitled to your opinion, so is Boris Johnson and everyone else..
Boris Johnson is a legend 😁😁😁😁
Yes he is a leg end not sure if he's hip or ankle
Is not Boris' statement called "Free Speech"?
Brewer for pm she has more balls than Farage
Truthfilter, don't you mean May ? Farage took on the whole establishment and won !!! Now that took balls.
no i mean Farage he's a sellout he got gifted the referendum by cameron then when he won he ran off and didn't want to see it through and he's become very politically correct he wouldn't dare say the things that Brewer says about islam and the Burqa and he's always showed a disregard for the issues raised by Tommy Robinson it's easy to have verbal battles with politicians but it takes more balls to talk about the things that Brewer talks about she says what she means and means what she says
She is a heartless bitch, which of course is PM material!
truthfilter, thank goodness you are not in the government, there are enough woolly brains there already. Nigel Farage wasn't "gifted" the referendum, he fought hard for it and without him we'd never have had one. When the referendum was won he thought that the job was done, Cameron promised that the result would be honoured, the deceit by Theresa May came after he went to continue the fight in the EU. Julia Hartley-Brewer is OK but not a match for Nigel in open debate, I suggest you look at a few of his EU victories before making wild, dismissive, badly thought-out statements.
he was Gifted it only because cameron arrogantly thought he would win and that would be the end of it cameron quit Farage quit Boris ran away i've watched all of Farage's videos over the years just winning the Brexit vote isn't enough he knew this very well even before Brexit just look at ireland and i'm not a woolly brain
Say it as it is, they do look like bank robbers, not in public places please. Do whatever you want at home, no problem
