Establishment ‘conservatives’ and left-liberal politicians and journalists have rushed to condemn Brexiteer former foreign secretary Boris Johnson for his comments on the “ridiculous” burqa, branding him “Islamophobic” and even “racist” — but have not shied away from criticising the garment themselves in the past.

This is it — the moment we’ve been waiting for. The moment when the Brexit rebellion finally began.

One of the UK’s most famous comedians has defended Boris Johnson’s “joke” about the Islamic burqa face veil, calling it “funny” and “an almost perfect simile”.

Brexiteer Boris Johnson MP is facing an investigation by the Conservative Party over comments he made about the Islamic burqa while Britain’s most senior police officer has said that he has not committed a ‘hate crime’.

Leading Conservative Party progressive Ruth Davidson has attacked former foreign secretary Boris Johnson’s opposition to the burqa and has equated wearing the Islamic garment with the Christian cross, while Tory arch-Remainer Dominic Grieve has threatened to quit the party should Leave campaigner Johnson become leader in what appears to be a proxy battle over Brexit.

Sadiq Khan’s predecessor as Mayor of London has accused him of indulging in “politically correct virtue-signalling” while crime takes over the capital.

The British public is overwhelmingly opposed to the Prime Minister’s plan for a “soft” Brexit and almost a third of voters are prepared to back a new, right wing party committed to a clean Brexit, a poll shows.
