It has almost been four weeks since BJ was in the headlines – now we can’t have that can we? He obviously needs to be the centre of attention and was probably going into withdrawal. So any colleagues or observers that believe this likening of Muslim women to ‘bank robbers’ and ‘letter boxes’ was accidental or a jibe, a joke, a passing comment – you are very much mistaken.

The reality is that BJ is not as concerned with riling the Muslim population as he is with furthering his own bigoted and far right political ambitions. In one fell swoop he managed to regain the lime-light, pander to the far- right and alienate the Muslim community and stoke the racist fire further. Wow quite an achievement BJ – well done! And to be done so seamlessly. It was so simple. Just say something or write something that would be unsavoury bigoted controversial and ultimately racist towards – guess who? It’s the Muslim women – again. We seem to draw the short straw every time! It’s as though he is instantly propelled into the limelight where he can pander to the far right supporters and his own circle of Elitist White Men in their Ivory Towers in one fell swoop; like whisking away a tablecloth and causing the crashing of all the crockery on the table in the aftermath.
