London, United Kingdom - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson refused to offer an outright apology for Islamophobic comments he made in 2018, which led to a spike in anti-Muslim hate crimes.

He was responding to presenter Nick Ferrari, who asked whether Johnson was "sorry for the words of the offence" caused by a Daily Telegraph column in 2018 in which he wrote that the "burka is oppressive" and that Muslim women who wear the full veil look "like letter boxes" and bank robbers.

While this is part of what he said in the article, he also defended their right to dress in this way, so why would he apologize?
