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 …

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. -
Integration??? are you having a laugh?. Do you walk around with your eyes and ears covered?. You really do need to get out more and see what's going on.

Can't help wondering what the reaction would have been if Jeremy Corbyn had made the "letterbox" and "bank robbers" comments.

Well said Julia. You are right in saying that it is medieval and has no place in our civilised society in my opinion.

Wonder how Muslim women feel about that? Can't imagine Boris or his defenders give a fuck tbh.

Do you think that telling someone to “get that letterbox off their face” is going to make them want to integrate?
-
Ludicrously arrogant to expect someone to respect your values while reducing a key part of their culture to a trivial name-calling exercise. Irrespective of whether you are right or not.
-
It is NOT "key part of their culture". Till few years ago wasn't "in fashion". Who chooses to live in Western culture must be prepared to accept that culture, and ours is a face-to-face culture. He did NOT call them names he gave an ACCURATE description of their appearance .

You have to concede he could/should have expressed his opinions in a more grown up fashion ‘“It is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes’ are the words of an imbecile. It’s not what you say it’s the way that you say it

British and western values are diversity and inclusion. That's a silly argument.
