When Boris starts making equivalent observations about Jewish communities, we'll know he's not just scoring political points / sounding the electorate out, or just keeping himself on the front pages. But he won't will he.

Always with the Jews with u people isn’t it!

What equivalent observation could he even make?
Is there anything in the Jewish faith that is equivalent to this attire that you even have a valid point?

Tbh bringing Jews up seems a bit pointless mate.

Diane Abbot quite recently said Jews wear “costume “ is that fair judgment ?

I wanted to wed Faye many years ago. She was gorgeous and I got on well with her dad. But her mum put her foot down and that was that. No gentiles allowed into that family, sadly.

Was Boris invited Globus?

To what? The Jewish bit came up and I commented. I'm C of E as is the current Management, my former wife was a Catholic. We welcome all faiths. Those who want to kill and maim are faithless. They are scum.

"Bloody Jews, hiding their identities behind vast mounds of pickled herring"

In my eyes, nothing. I think those who are, miss out on many things.

Always a personal choice and I have never thought ill of those who wish to be aetheist or agnostic.

My two brothers occupy those seats. Never a cross word in my family and I pledge myself to look after them as the eldest.

Church is possibly the finest social ground there is. We have a few who profess faith but act improperly. That's life.

Have you got a link to that. It surprises me as she's very chummy with the large hassidic population in her constituency

its taken out of context her use of the term was entirely appropriate.

"In my constituency, I have a community of Charedi Jews that are actually subject to hate crime more than other Jews, because they wear that costume, they walk to Synagogue.

“But because I take it seriously I’m not going to make it some sort of Party political gain"

Cool, dumb as she may be, she'd be a moron to fûck them off.

You know that they don't have a top? They're more like a fur cake tin with a brim

They're insular, rude and self centred, so right up your street

Though the state of them at Purim is hysterical

A better barb might be to ask Boris; this new champion for the rights of repressed women; how he feels about women being charged by the police for purchasing the day after pills online ?

The woman is scum but if people are going to beat her up for that oafish mistake it's because they have got an agenda

Id not beat anyone, but considering the regular "offence " taken by her for less than that as oafish mistakes then exposing her hypocrisy and comparing to the current Boris narrative seem correct.

I'd like to see her back on telly more and not making laws in this country.

D'Ancona btw yesterday penned in the Guardian Boris's letterbox comment was the equivalent of Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech.

Nice to see D'Ancona in with a 'calm down dear' at around 2:58 - that's what Cameron had to apologise for saying IIRC. As context is clearly irrelevant, his dreadful sexist, misogynistic and patriarchal behaviour cannot be tolerated and he must be fired.

He is one of the arrogant elitists who believe they have a God-given right to rule and do not take kindly to lesser mortals who have the temerity to question them.

Bit like the vast majority of the current government then eh?
