I'm quite proud that we are actually discussing it without all the snide comment brigade charging in to put us in our place.

Boris is only talking about clothing here, not the religion. People criticise what others choose to wear all the time.

He's a member of the government, representing his constituents and country, making offensive remarks about a piece of religious clothing in an effort to appeal to the far-right.
Personally, I think it warrants fuss.

Was he trying to appeal to the "far right" when he defended women's right to wear such clothing?

No, probably not. But that doesn't change the fact that what he said was offensive and an attempt to pander to Islamophobia rather than challenge it

Imagine being a muslim and Bojo is your MP though. it creates a massive disconnect and a feeling, once again, that they are unrepresented and marginalised.

Only because some people jump on it as so,which makes things worse,so for me it's too much fuss about the way he described it,I think if most people were asked what it looked like ,they would also concur.

People kicking up a fuss draws attention to something that really isn't a problem for most,personally ,I'de ban them.If we go to their country we are asked to cover up and most people do,otherwise they are imprisoned or even worse !! so what is wrong with us not wanting these worn on our streets.
