It wasn't long ago that "ethnic cleansing" occured in a region of Europe formerly known as Yugoslavia, and before that in Germany.

Surely part of being in Europe means that we have some say in matters such as this. Or are you suggesting these events only become relevant when they happen on British soil?

I'm saying that we don't always do what France does for damned good reasons,that we are a democracy and despite all efforts we still are.:)

We can pretend they're not happening.

Well many do.

Funny though that the ant Muslim groups want to embrace what Europe is doing when normally they don't want to be told what to do by the European government in Brussels.;)

Some may and some may not. it's the fact that it's happened. you don't have to be anti or pro anything, to see that it's a major thing. regardless of it being France that has done it.

I can see trouble ahead for France over it's present attitudes and actions towards the Roma and the treatment meted out to them from the rest of Europe.So I think that they may have to rethink this one..

Re: Ban the burkha ?

A BID to ban the burkha in Britain was effectively buried in red tape in the Commons yesterday.
But last night the Tory MP who tried to bring in the controversial new law vowed to carry on his campaign.
Philip Holloboneâ€™s Bill to prevent the Muslim veils from being worn in public could not be discussed yesterday when time ran out in what some *believe was a ploy by Commons business managers to avoid controversy.

It just goes to show you how pathetic this government is, they haven't got the bottle to agree with what the public want, and what makes matters worse is that our secruity stands for nothing, if people cannot see there face, then could could they be.

'What some believe' ... who, exactly? Daily Express news editors with an agenda?

This was a private members' bill, and it went the way almost all private members bills do. They are doomed to fail unless they are granted more time in the Commons. Most of them don't get that luxury. There's no conspiracy here.

Hooray for you Arthur.

I admire your championing of UK "secruity" (whatever that is) and your ongoing campaign for the right of illiterate racist xenophobes to post irrational nonsense on Cable Forum.

I'm sure there glad of your support.

Hoping for perspective that transcends the labels of party politics is still in vain, it seems ....

Re: Ban the burkha ?

Interesting quote from the French.

Quote:

Jacques Myard, an architect of France’s legal ban on the burkha, said Britain was “losing the battle against Islamic extremism’’.
