Other than what I've already said. I haven't really given it much thought.

Think you'll find that they are wearing PROTECTIVE clothing, this includes a boiler type suit, gloves, helmet, CLEAR face visor,protective boots, stab vest, possibly shin guards and other various padding, all clothing would be fire resistant which would also include a balaclava mask to protect the exposed parts of the face and neck when faced with petrol bombs and chemicals. Not to hide there identity's.

Oh and it would keep you nice and warm on a winters day.

Try doing this when having just a shield and bog standard issue clothing and i think you would opt for the wardrobe these guys are wearing.

Anyway, other things that would be banned because they cover someone's face in public.

I think these don't count because as an example with the bride, she only wears it for a few hours in just that one day.

the lady with the lampshade only when she's at the races.

the bee keepers only when they're playing about with bees.

:erm:

he doesn't want to discuss the topic hence the silly pictures and the repeated attempts to derail the thread imho .

I'm getting a trifle confused.

So you don't mind anyone else covering their faces except those who wear Burkhas.

Or you don't want anyone to cover their faces at any time for any reason

Or you don't mind anyone covering their faces provided it's only connected with certain events for short periods of time

I am trying to highlight the stupidity of the proposition, because posters keep stating "it is not because it is the burqa, it is anything that disguises someone's identity". But when I show other things that can disguise someone's identity, it is "off-topic" or "derailing".

As the founder of the UKIP said today in the Times letter page
