But They DO look like letterboxes.

I've never seen a black letterbox.

Really? How odd.

google returmns half a billion hits for 'black letterboxes'

Letter boxes in the UK are red

That's pillar boxes (and similar rectangular ones on poles or set into
walls). The phrase "letter box" is confusing because it can relate both
to places in the street where you post a letter at the beginning of its
journey, and the slot in your front door where the postman puts the
letter when he delivers it to you at the end of its journey.

and that version of Letter Box usually has a closed flap.

The latter can be whatever colour you want - typically a colour that
doesn't clash with the colour of your front door. I've seen plenty of
black ones - ours was black power-coated metal.

I don't see anyone in a Burka loking like a front door.

They all look like front doors to me

eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
