'Do we really want a man in power who capitalises off his feigned buffoonery to bamboozle the public into thinking that every racist or dishonest thing he does is 'just a laugh'?' Opinion | thewarjournal
As if lying about the NHS was not heinous enough, Johnson perpetuated the racist myth that the Turkish people were foaming at the mouth to come to the UK by their tens of millions.to the UK in the event Turkey ever became part of the EU, and scare-mongered about having “shared borders” with Turks who would apparently cripple the NHS.
In 2018, now out of work as a foreign secretary but still busy agitating for Brexit, Johnson insultingly compared Muslim women wearing the niqab face veil toand denigrated them as looking like “bank robbers”, using inflammatory and Islamophobic rhetoric to victimise an already vulnerable segment of the British population.
Do we really want a man in power who capitalises off his feigned buffoonery to bamboozle the public into thinking that every racist or dishonest thing he does is “just a laugh”? Do we really want a man whose horrendous views, stated over almost two decades, at the helm of one of the most influential countries in the world?
If the far-right got a boost after Donald Trump came to power in the White House, just how much will racist views be normalised when the Anglo-American “special relationship” becomes warped by a bigot like Johnson leading the UK?
