Trying to invent some bogus insult were there clearly was none is just

An insult implies intent. The problem with Boris is that he seems to do
these things unconsciously, like his comments about Muslim women
wearing the burka looking like letterboxes. It shows either a lack of
awareness of his responsibilities as PM to set an example to others or
that he thinks that casual racism is the right sort of example to set.


But They DO look like letterboxes.

I've never seen a black letterbox.

Really? How odd.


google returmns half a billion hits for 'black letterboxes'


However that of course is illerelvant.


If I were to say "a condom looks like a giant pink tranbslucent
lightbulb, when inflated" it would not be invalidated by your saying
that you had never seen a giant pink translucent lightbulb...


Letter boxes in the UK are red



Pillar boxes in the UK are red.

Letter boxes can be of any colour.

Boris was implying pillar boxes which was comedic
licence on his part.

Boris may be a power crazed buffoon set on destroying the economy
of the UK in pursuit of his pereveted ambition but that doesn't mean
that he can't also be deliberately funny.

Which can't be said of the power crazed buffoon on the other
side of the pond.
