Don't you think Johnson's words about immigrants "coming here and daring to treat it as their home" might have had something to do with it? These comments weren't made years ago. They were made last week. Even if he isn't a racist himself, Johnson has shown himself on many occasions to be willing to pander to racism. That is just as bad.

As long as immigrants (not just Muslims) respect our culture & laws, we will respect theirs.

And when they do so, they hear the PM moaning about it.

And if they don't? Open season?

 

Respect and tolerance is not conditional.

Lets just say they shouldn't be surprised if people reciprocate. :mellow:

 

Now that's the harmful sort of policy that leads to many innocent people getting hurt, marginalised and fearful in a country that should be accepting of all, because people are protective and xenophobic rather than accepting.

 

And I want no part of a country that fears additions to its culture as opposed to welcoming it. Britishness has always been improved by diverse additions. We are better when we look outwards and allow cultures to MELD. They aren't these incompatible things that must be "respected".

FFS I spend all day trying to convince ACTUAL CHILDREN that they can’t excuse their own awful actions with ‘well they did it first!’ and it’s absolutely horrifying to see actual adults using it here.

 

 

Hahah This!!

I love it when his mask slips like that.

I've seen a few anecdotes on Twitter of people who've been told to "go home" and the like because I think racists who voted for Boris have been vindicated by the fact that someone who calls Muslim women letterboxes and black people "picanninies with watermelon smiles" gets elected, so racism is ok now... It's almost like "we won you lose sod off", it's so sad to think of how many Muslims and other ethnic minorities and how they must feel that so many people in the country they call home voted for someone who thinks so little of them. It's not a stretch to think of how alienated and pushed out they must feel, I mean this country has always had a racism problem but to think that someone who says the things that Boris did can win an election so convincingly is just horrifying for these reasons and many more.

It reminds me of just after the Brexit vote in 2016!

Unfortunately, in my experience 'turning the other cheek' just gets you bruised on both sides of your face.

So two wrongs make a right?

 

You simply cannot be an awful human being and then justify it with ‘but they did something first’.

 

How are we discussing this and why does it seem even a minority of people in here believe that people from different cultures need to earn their cultures some respect? It’s quite sick tbh.
