    The liberal outrage at this sentiment is laughable. Boris is right. There is NOTHING liberal or feminist or empowering or *anything* good about women wearing the burkha or niqab. In any circumstance. In any country or any culture. Ever.https://twitter.com/jessbrammar/status/1026413210302341120 …

        That’s not what he said though is it. There are feminist discussions to be had about the wearing of the Burkha/Niqab and women’s choice to do so. Boris is not engaging in that discussion, he is name calling and “othering” these women and doing so for entirely cynical reasons.

        No there isn’t a sensible feminist argument for wearing the burkha. Boris did not name call, he accurately described the absurd appearance of these garments. He mocked the outfits not the women. He criticised Islam, not Muslims.

        There’s a feminist argument against wearing Burkha. But that’s not the one Boris was making. He was mocking a religious practice and doing so by reference to these women’s appearances. Also evidence in other European countries suggests banning Burkha etc has greater oppressive1/

        No, mocking a medieval practice (that has little to do with Islam) is not the same as mocking Muslim women. There are a number of arguments against the burkha, only one of which is the feminist one. Integration and respect for British/western values is also a key argument.

        And by how much do you think @BorisJohnson advanced the cause of integration? People tend to dig in when they’re sneered at in this way.

        I don't think he was trying to ridicule them, but as ever the easily offended and hysterical left have pounced, conflated the headlines and blurred the sentiment ..in actual fact he was saying a total ban is a step too far and that it would only serve to inflame the issue

        Do you Honestly believe that most Muslim women actually choose to wear this? I can tell you for a fact, after working with many of them in West Yorkshire for many years that most of them either do not have a choice and/or have been pressured into wearing them.
