Boris blasted in Parliament for year-old offensive comments

"If I decide to wear a turban, or she decides to wear a hijab or a burka, does that mean it is open season... to make derogatory and divisive remarks about our appearance?" One furious MP tried to hold Boris Johnson to account for his offensive comments about Muslim women at his first PMQs: This was his response.

    I agree with the right to wear the clothes you want but hiding your body completely is dangerous nowadays

    Well said. The only thing I don't agree with face covering as the only reason being security.

    Most of these so called leaders of the free world have a lot to be desired in regards to their leadership capabilities. Just look at the world and see the utter chaos and confusion. Where did basic intelligence go?

    Yesterday Tony Blair was Bush's puppet, Alan Johnson, Trump's mistress. The world ruled by stupid and foolish men...I wonder if the politicians are vanished to see this kind of creature in a head of cabinets.
