Quoting such an enormous rise, surely requires some sort of back up?Think the PM oversaw a 300% rise in racial hate crime on his comments alone.

That topic has been discussed to death many times....Quoting such an enormous rise, surely requires some sort of back up?
I note percentages were used as they sound bigger. Doesn't sound a lot considering the entire population of the UK.![]()

It is safe to assume that you are neither Muslims nor women.stop using crap and meaningless statistic to justify your position!
In this thread there's a lot of people who are trying to downplay Labour and its antisemitism.It is safe to assume that you are neither Muslims nor women.
And the comments have been done by many.Saying that, I would not go writing that sort of phrases comparing women with letter boxes and bank robbers.
Antisemitism, Islamophobia or whichever form of discrimination should be criticised in very strong term.In this thread there's a lot of people who are trying to downplay Labour and its antisemitism.
By people who aren't Jewish.
And the comments have been done by many.
But oddly it's only Boris who keeps coming up.
I guess the left can always get away with it. Or people have short memories.
...
A lot of what is quoted regarding Boris has been said a long time ago.In the cases where you put examples of individuals, we could single out a person, but the reason Johnson keeps coming back is because he is the PM and potentially a next PM. Please do not misunderstand me, I am NOT justifying them. I will condemn them. I am just trying to explain why people keeps coming back to Johnson’s article.
the burqa also has nothing to do with the religion.A lot of what is quoted regarding Boris has been said a long time ago.
As to his comments about burqas which was more recent not only have others said the same but a, he didn't call for a ban, b, a lot of people do have issues with it.
I don't see any men wearing a burqa.
Ahhh good old snowflakesRemember this?

Nish Kumar met with boos and bread rolls for charity lunch Brexit jokes
BBC comedian Nish Kumar was met with boos and bread rolls after making Brexit jokes at a charity cricket lunch.www.telegraph.co.uk
According to an eyewitness at the Lord’s Taverners Christmas lunch, which raises money for cricketing charities, Kumar was drowned out by booing and had food hurled at him.
He reportedly had made a joke about Brexit which incensed the crowd, proceeded to argue with the audience, then claimed to be like former Commons Speaker John Bercow in his obstinate refusal to leave the stage.
“It was the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen,” said Jon Austin, who attended the dinner at the Grosvenor House in London yesterday to help raise money for young and disabled cricketers.
“It was Brexit straight away. He came on and he killed the audience. It took less than a minute.
Ahhh good old snowflakesoh wait, I thought that's what they called the left when they get offended.
yep let’s get it done!As its election time I haven't really concentrated on this terrible concept (brexit)
When Boris rocked up with his deal I did say it was terrible.
Turns out it's 70bn a year terrible.
Let's get brexit done.
Even though the deal is crap.yep let’s get it done!
However those who were younger and will be most affected by Brexit mostly voted to remain. Along with those who had a higher level of education.As the majority or ordinary working class people voted to leave the EU, it's not particularly clever for comedians, actors, singers and general smug media types to constantly belittle Brexiteers. Maybe in their circle of friends the thought of voting leave is unthinkable, but we had a referendum and that's the result. The sooner they get used to it the better.
The price of everything and the value of nothing.Even though the deal is crap.
You go on about labours election policy but 70bn shortfall with boris deal is fine and dandy.
that is incredibly patronising and insulting to many.However those who were younger and will be most affected by Brexit mostly voted to remain. Along with those who had a higher level of education.
Brexit is costing about £20bn per year, so far costed us about £66bn. The UK economy is about 2.5% smaller than if we had remained in the EU.As its election time I haven't really concentrated on this terrible concept (brexit)

It's clear that many voters have no trouble voting for fiscal recklessness, rich elites, racists, or just lazy idiots if it delivers Brexit. There is no limit to what they'd pay. It transgresses from a political outlook toward the lack of objectivity and delusion often seen in cult members.Even though the deal is crap.
You go on about labours election policy but 70bn shortfall with boris deal is fine and dandy.
I've literally just posted a link to stats that show that was the case. It's not saying everyone who is well educated voted remain, and everyone who is old voted leave. It's numbers and statistics.that is incredibly patronising and insulting to many.
older people’s views shouldn’t count or count for less and the rest - thick as pigs muck.
I am young, around 30 (too old?) at vote time and have a Bsc (Hon) with published scientific papers (too thick?).
