Boris Johnson compared women in burkas to ‘bank robbers’ and these are the only 9 responses you need
Boris Johnson was trending again today although not for the reasons you might have hoped after the once and future Tory leadership wannabe compared women wearing burkas to ‘bank robbers’.
Johnson said it was ‘absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes’.

Muslim women are having their burkas pulled off by thugs in our streets & Boris Johnson's response is to mock them for "looking like letter boxes." Our pound-shop Donald Trump is fanning the flames of Islamophobia to propel his grubby electoral ambitions.https://t.co/51YTjIdT4x

The fact that Boris Johnson believes comments like these will help him win the Tory leadership tells you everything you need to know about the Islamophobia problem in the Conservative party. https://t.co/AMPOfZ0LLI pic.twitter.com/aMRbqFAMqL

Boris Johnson is just Tommy Robinson with a posh accent. It’s time this country stopped turning a blind eye to racism out of a lingering sense of class deference.

How many blatantly racist statements is Boris Johnson allowed in his career before we accept he's a white supremacist rather than a jolly old stick making a few gaffes?

That’s funny, I would compare white demagogues siphoning money into their own pockets to bank robbers, but that’s just me.
