You'll all be surprised to know that anti-Muslim sentiment is a big problem within the party.
There really is no need to deflect this post into Whataboutery about Corbyn and Labour btw.

Interesting 'apology' if he thinks that sort of language is only unacceptable to a Prime Minister. |  |

It looks to me that Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is happy to use the offending language but Prime Minister Johnson is not. Or have I read that wrong? |  | | |

Yes, although it is perhaps, marginally more honest that the 'I was young and foolish' defence normally used in such circumstances. | |

A ‘good’ journalist targets his audience hence Boris found it acceptable to use such language when writing the likes of the Mail or Times. |  |

I suppose so.
I find it hard to look past the actions of the Home Office under his government. That says more about their views on racism than anything coming out of Johnson's mouth. | |

And a survey of anti-muslim sentiment among Labour voters might also be interesting.... |  |

The difference there being what was deemed anti-Semitic was anti Israel, spouted by certain sections of Labour activists
Whereas anti Muslim views are right across the board within Tory members and voters
And generally feed into a view of 'them' not belonging here, a view which is not unique to the above two groups. |  | | |

I guess HARRY10 you are saying that Labour racism is not as bad as Conservative racism; and whereas Labour racism is kept within certain sections of the party and not spread to voters, Conservative racism is shared by all who dare to think Tory, get elected as a Tory, or vote Tory.
Just asking..... | | | |

It speaks volumes about the PM's character that he apologises for offence taken, but not for causing it in the first place.
Any real man would hold their hands up and apologise properly, but not this cowardly cockwomble. |  |

It'll be interesting to see if this is picked up as one of the main stories on BBC/ITV news, or not.
If it were Labour, it would be headline news, with any number of Tory MPs wheeled out to say how disgraceful it is.
Any chance Starmer will be able to actually make life uncomfortable for the government for a while with this? |  |

The depressing thing is, the people who voted him in - a lot of them anyway - don't care. In fact they probably like him more for it.

Labour antisemitism is/was exaggerated. Tory racism across the board is largely ignored and/or normalised by a right-wing press.
This of course is backed up by research and is apparent to anyone who has looked deeper than the very headlines of that same press.
What we also need to do is ensure that the same normalisation doesn’t continue for the next minority to be fully in the sights of the right wing like refugees, travellers and the trans community. |  |

I think you’ll find they’ve already started on the refugees. | | | |

Yeah, you’re right, of course.
I meant more that when the major focus on Muslims slips away then they’ll be attacking refugees for being refugees. Before it’s often been as Muslims and as potential Islamist terrorists. Then it’ll be because the UK is seen as a soft touch and these “swarms” want to take advantage of “us” ... rather than because they’re refugees with rights and have even been displaced by our own foreign adventures.
Of course, the truth is that the UK is already one of the least accommodating Western countries to refugees. | |

Indeed. But I’m guessing that we’ll see more and more of this as we move away from BAME racism that has rightly been called out.
It’s a form of politics that is often fuelled by “othering” minorities so we need to be vigilant and extra-protective of the minorities that will fill the void. | |

The key line in that is, "Now I am Prime Minister".
When I am no longer Prime Minister I will be free to communicate my feelings fully. |  |
