Boris Johnson said children of single mothers were 'ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate' in newly unearthed column
Boris Johnson described the children of single mothers as ill-raised, ignorant, aggressive and illegitimate in a newly unearthed article which Labour has claimed shows the prime ministers dark-age attitudes towards women.
In a column written for The Spectator, the Tory leader said it was outrageous that married couples should pay for the single mothers desire to procreate independently of men.
And he suggested it was feeble for a man to be unable or unwilling to take control of his woman, arguing Britain needed to restore womens desire to be married.
Shami Chakrabarti, Labours shadow attorney general, accused Mr Johnson of attacking single mothers and advocating sexual harassment in the August 1995 column, unearthed by the partys researchers as the general election approaches.

(1,642 posts)Just typical conservative projection as Boris tries to divert attention away from his own massive failures, by attacking a scapegoat.

Id call him a stupid f***ng chauvinist, but thats not enough. Thats straight up misogyny, ascribing the worst motives to women who are trying to do their best for others under difficult circumstances.
A notorious cheater and adulterer like him is in no place to give lectures on family values. The fact that he does shows what a yawning chasm exists where his self-awareness, conscience, and sense of personal responsibility should be.
What a contemptible twerp. GTFOH. You have no business running for office.

The Tories of course are going through major problems with anti Muslim discrimination

He invited Raed Salah to parliament who repeats blood libel about Jews. He blamed his deportation on the "Zionist Lobby"

This is a more expansive article on the people he chooses to share platforms with.
I can say I am not a racist but if I had lunch with a KKK leader and blamed attached on him on the NAACP everyone would justifiably call me a racist.

(29,322 posts)I have seen a young Muslim pro Corbyn woman dog piled for criticizing him and this was after months of calling out Tory Islamaphobia. She calls out discrimination in all forms and is still pro Corbyn. I also didn't save a lot of links regarding this issue -- it actually hasn't been raised for a few months.
Joe Biden said you can't walk into 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts without a slight Indian accent. Called Obama clean & articulate African Amercian, also said in the 80s he spent his career trying to lock up Willie Horton. Despite all this I feel obligated to support Biden over Trump.

(6,034 posts)Corbyn shares platforms with people who use the blood libel to kill millions of jews and defends people who blame us for 9/11. That's the difference.
A mayoral candidate I think in the midlands talks about "Rothschild banking" conspiracies.

(29,322 posts)Unfortunately most racists don't wear the hood but I see your point I can understand why you wouldn't support him. I can never support Republicans under any circumstances because they are so racist.
