Twaddle. British women have been voting since 1918, whereas French women didn't get the right to vote until 1944.

Even Borat's beloved Kazakhstan has had women's suffrage since 1924.

I agree - I was pointing out the irony of his statement(s)....

I suspect the French laud Joan of Arc because she got one over the English rather than because she was a woman.

Erm, the previous *two* Labour governments also allowed wearing of the Bhurka.

Of course, we can't allow that little fact to get in the way of a good chance to criticise the Tories, can we?

The "quote" button did not carry the "quote" - so I can see how the misunderstanding arose. A thousand apologies. :angel:

British Muslims arrested in burka ban protest in France


Tensions are running high in France because of the law, which comes into force on Monday, banning all women from wearing Islamic face veils.

This was an illegal rally calling for France’s burka ban to be scrapped and for sharia law to be introduced
If they're so intent on living under Sharia law, then why don't they go and live in a country that already uses it instead of suffering in a country that doesn't, and never will?

As much as I disagree in principle with a ban on the burkha, you've got to love the French. If it's not in France's best interest then they simply don't give a flying frog.

If you are so intent on living in a society that tells women what items of clothing they can and can't wear, then why don't you go and live in a country that has these rules instead of suffering in a country that doesn't, and never will? ;)

Assuming that the mails article is accurate,i think going to another country demanding that Sharia law be introduced is outrageous As Gary sais if they want to live under Sharia law then go to a country that already has it

I think that only happens in the EU. One of the reason to tell the EU to sod off.

As if the EU would enforce a law onto a member country without any consideration of the electorate of that country :LOL:
