Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May shared, “I think Boris Johnson used language in describing people’s appearance that has obviously caused offense. It was the wrong language to use. He should not have used it.”
She additionally said that a woman isn’t liable to anybody, they have all the right to wear whatever they wish for be it a burqa.
