Rachel Johnson has defended her call for a full ban on the burka in Britain as she explained why she 'has a problem' with Muslim woman wearing a full veil.
The sister of former Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson argued there was 'no feminist argument' for wearing the garment during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.
The columnist said the UK should follow countries such as France in an outright ban on the burka, following comments by her brother in which he said Muslim women wearing the garment looked like 'letter boxes' and 'bank robbers'.
She argued that it was not freedom of choice for many Muslim women who were forced to wear the veil by male relatives or through fear of attacks in the street.
Ms Johnson faced opposition to her views from host Piers Morgan and fellow guest Sahar Al-Faifa, from the Muslim Council of Britain, who wore a niqab.
