You nicking images?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

No, they just changed the image on purpose to make me look bad :mad:

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Nope, they didn't change the image. If you put the URL into your browser the image you wanted comes up (although you may have to clear your browser cache first). They just did what a lot of sites do when you hotlink to their image and substitute a different one. If you want to post an image either host it yourself or upload it as an attachment.

I am not sure where I stand on public areas, probably leaning to not banning it. However what I dont like is in the workplace people with certian religious requirements can get round business policies of acceptable clothing. Thats wrong in my view.

In regards to places like banks where helmets are banned then yes they should also be banned.

Blimey.... been away for months and seems like I'm stuck in time!

Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité (unless your a Muslim).

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

What haven't been banned in public places.

Motorcycle helmets
Face-masks for health reasons
Face-covering for sporting or professional activities
Sunglasses, hats etc which do not completely hide the face
Masks used in "traditional activities", such as carnivals or religious processions.

The above could all be regarded as security risks.

So if you are Muslim only you are not allowed the freedom that France regards as her prerogative.

I guess a few Muslim women may decide that wearing a motorcycling helmet will be a substitute. ;)

Also if such a ban finds it's way here I hope we all go out and buy a burkha and wear it as a mass protest.

You go ahead, I'll be at the pub having a pint and a bacon sandwich.

Re: Ban the burkha ?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

I can understand how you'd drink a pint but how would you get the sandwich through the mesh bit?? ;)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

The good old French. Their "This is our country, so live by our rules" attitude is great. It's a shame the UK can't act like the French people do.
1.... French fuel prices rise, so they blockade the ports and motorways until it is put right.

2....The English fuel prices rise, and all we do is write a letter to MP or start a facebook campaign LMAO.

At least the French are not scared to stand up and be counted, unlike the good old spineless UK
