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

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.

Is the truth now to be witheld because someone claims to find it
insulting?


they look like pints of Guinness .....

A colleague who had spent some time working in the Middle East said they
were joking referred to as Guinness bottles.
