Banning the Burqua won't make anybody's life better. It's all about spite. And spitefulness towards anybody different has become the driving force in British politics.

It's also something that could be potentially incitement to racial and religious hatred by Boris Johnson.

And also, why on earth are people taking Boris Johnson seriously on this subject? A man who can barely dress himself is not somebody who should be lecturing anyone else on what to wear.
