The problem in this country these days is that humour has been sacrificed in favour of political correctness.
Does anyone think the burka looks like a letterbox? If so, you should be able to say so, at least in the context of how Boris made his comparison. It was not done in a hateful way, and that's what those who want to exercise their right to be offended are missing.
When I wore my dear old puffa jacket last winter, I was told I looked like Michelin Man. Was I offended? Of course not, I laughed (and haven't worn it since!).
I resent the fact that some people are trying to undermine British ways, such as our sense of humour, to make ridiculous political points.
