"We think that it's disgusting that women are told by their men that they have to wear what they're told to, so we're going to stop that by us telling them what to wear instead."
I too don't like them, but then, nor do I like hoodies for the way they are used as a disguise by yoofs up to no good. I expect it would meet with resistance if anybody suggested hoodies should be banned because folk like me don't like them.There is a good case to be made though for banning the burka in court and other situations where the face needs to be seen.

No, I think he is a fírst rate prick, but in this instance, he's right and entitled to his opinion, the pc brigade will no doubt play the race card
Anyone who thinks Johnson gives a f**k about burkas or the rights of women has never really stopped and thought about him. He cares about one thing. Boris Johnson. He will say anything and do anything that he thinks will further his career.This is a very serious, sensitive and important issue. For what it’s worth, I think the subjugation of women by a patriarchal attitude in Islam is disgraceful and unacceptable. Just like similar attitudes in the Irish Catholic community that I come from we’re in previous generations. But Johnson is not interested in engaging in that serious discussion. Instead he makes childish jokes and wisecracks. Because he knows there is a section of society that will lap it up. The man is a f**king disgrace to the country. He’s happy to use dog-whistle racism to further his own ambition. And the fact that May is unable to smack him down speaks volumes on how useless she is.

You made the same mistake - you've somehow lumped them altogether !
