(Sky News) The majority of Britons think describing women in burkas as looking like “letter boxes” and “bank robbers” is not racist — but are split as to whether Boris Johnson should apologise for doing so, according to a new Sky Data poll.
Six in 10 — 60% — say it is not racist to compare Muslim women wearing burkas to bank robbers and letter boxes, as Mr Johnson did in an opinion column earlier this week, while 33% think it is.
However, people are split as to whether the former foreign secretary should apologise for his remarks — 45% think he should do so, 48% think he should not.
