Ban the Burkini

[RobertE]

Just what a woman who is in shock would need to see.

Why?

If we are going polemic one could ask, why the UK swallowed so many cultures they didn't want to deal with. These cultures are present, same as in France, which also has a mainly North African colonial history. If you don't want to see the cultures you absorbed, it's a bit late for that decision.

That is totally wrong. Please do not even compare the freedom of North African women to women of Pakistani origins. They are worlds apart. Further to this, in the UK, we have a very large Chinese/Cantonese community so, would it be wrong for all the Chinese to dress like this as police personnel:



Or how about Chinese policewomen in the United Kingdom dressed like this:



Of course not, it would be silly. The Chinese population have integrated fully into English society and they only wear their costumes when necessary. However, I can see the positive side of a Chinese policewoman compared to a burqua clad policewoman:



Yup, I can see the appeal.

Further to this, I am for the hijab being worn, but not the burqua.
