Default Is Johnson a racist?

Only fair that Boris gets the same scrutiny as Corbyn!

He's written articles that liken Muslim women to letterboxes.
The Conservative party have had numerous Islamophobic scandals and have failed to launch an internal inquiry into Islamophobia despite Boris promising to do so.

Is Boris a racist?

The MCB probably wouldn't have said anything if the Rabbi hadn't of made his statement.
The Tories whole election campaign is really just to avoid talking about their own policies. All they do is criticise Labour policy and then waffle "get brexit done". The big question is, once they get Brexit done by the end of January, what will they then do? They have to negotiate the future trade deal, but we have no idea how that is going to look! They could have a minimal trade deal that looks more or less like no deal or they could have a comprehensive trade deal with a customs union, but the Tories don't have a policy on it!

you could make the same about labour and they are just blaming the torries.

We're in a situation where both sides are trying to win by seeing who can sling the most mud. Such a sorry state of affairs

Totally agree. So lets all be responsible and fact check stuff instead of reposting propaganda...nobody is winning here except the ******* that keep getting away with it at our cost

Fact checking proves both sides are wrong,i think we can all agree on that, so it comes down to aligning with which side's values you align to the most, or just not bothering.

Right now your shafted either way
