[SEPH]: Baroness Warsi would say that; wouldn't she?

Some examples:

Tory MP accused of Islamophobia after posting anti-Muslim article on Facebook
[SEPH]: Depends on your view of his words. How unjustified were they? See this article in the Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/rel...UK-faiths.html from which I quote:
Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch, suggested the real number of foreign-born Muslims in the UK could be much higher, due to the presence of illegal immigrants who would be unlikely to respond to government surveys.

He said: "The rapid rise in the Muslim population is just one way in which mass immigration promoted, even encouraged, by this Government has affected the whole nature of our society."

Tory councillor suspended over 'Muslim parasites' post the day after visiting a mosque with party's Deputy chairman [SEPH]: That would seem to be irrational so he should be sanctioned. Doesn't mean the Tory Party is Islamophobic.

Tory candidate suspended for suggesting ‘people hang bacon to protect homes from terrorism’
[SEPH]: Ditto.

So where does that leave Boris? His words were rational, albeit poorly chosen.
