(LBC) Boris Johnson admits he would repeat heavily criticised descriptions of women wearing burkas as “letterboxes” or “bank robbers.”
The former foreign secretary [said] that he did not believe he brought about an anti-Muslim rhetoric by comparing women who wear burkas to “letterboxes” and “bank robbers.”
Boris was both praised and criticised for writing a newspaper column in which he said that he was against a ban on face-covering veils in public places, but added that it was “ridiculous” that people chose to wear them.
He told Nick Ferrari that he received support from Muslim women who he say[s] agreed with him.
