(GB News) Boris Johnson has revealed his true stance on banning the burka after being grilled on GB News about his “letterbox” jibe.
The former prime minister suggested that enforcing a dress code for adults was similar to Hamas dictating that women should wear cultural headdresses.
GB News star Ben Leo reminded Mr Johnson that he previously compared niqab-wearing Muslim women to letterboxes.
However, Mr Johnson stood by his 2018 Telegraph column, which defended a woman’s right to choose whether or not to wear the burka.
The ex-prime minister said: “That was in the context of an article that actually said that I didn’t want to go around banning things. I’m more on the side of freedom.”
