Whatever BJ thinks about how clever his latest outburst is as part of his bid to become PM, I think that he has shot his party in the foot again. Brandon Lewis must be desperate for Johnson to apologise so that the matter can be swept under the carpet asap. If the matter drags on for long, it will destroy any moral high ground that they might think they have over the Labour Party with its anti-semitic issues. Some members of the Government are so far out of touch with modern UK society.
Things could be quite entertaining.

Boris Johnson has stood by his remarks about the burka after the Conservative Party chairman told him to apologise.
The former foreign secretary has been criticised for saying Muslim women wearing burkas "look like letter boxes" and comparing them to "bank robbers".
