The Burka, should there be criticism of this headwear?

A famous British politician, Boris Johnson claimed this week that whilst he would not ban the full face burka, he did say that it looks ridiculous, and suggested that women who wear them look like bank robbers.

This comment has really divided opinion in Britain. What are feelings about this comment and why

The real threat the burka poses is that it might restrict one's arms when trying to mitigate a fall. There was this one time when a kid tried to use a burka to buy some booze. Didn't work.

Even the headscarf has been shown to contribute to more pedestrian injuries in RTAs as in impedes peripheral vision.

Agreed. And any human incapable of exposing their face is subordinate to the wrong thing.
