Lol, this guy tells it like it is...
Boris Johnson has sparked a furious row after saying Muslim women wearing burkas "look like letter boxes" or bank robbers.
The former foreign secretary came out against calls for a ban on the face-covering veils in public places, but described them as "absolutely ridiculous" and compared their wearers to "rebellious teenagers".
Writing in his Daily Telegraph column, Mr Johnson said he felt "fully entitled" to expect women to remove face coverings when talking to him at his MP's surgery, and said schools and universities should be able to take the same approach if a student "turns up ... looking like a bank robber".
"If you tell me that the burka is oppressive, then I am with you.
"If you say that it is weird and bullying to expect women to cover their faces, then I totally agree - and I would add that I can find no scriptural authority for the practice in the Koran.
