Broadly, I agree with the general sentiment that the reaction to Dr. Taylor's shirt was a bit of an overreaction, although I'm also of the opinion that it was still a mistake. However, non-UK readers should have some context of the author of this piece: it's written by Boris Johnson, the current major of London, a divisive figure who is not averse to the odd (and emphasis should be placed on "odd" when it coms to Boris) sexist remark, for example, suggesting that women only go to university in order to find a man. I'd take pretty much anything he says with a hefty scoop of sodium chloride.
