Just always sensible without realising :D

:confused:

Wear them in their home, that's the one place they aren't "required" to wear them...

Perhaps a more pertinent point would be that the growing use of cctv in fighting crime becomes quite a bit trickier if the person trying to be identified is wearing a burqa.

Or scarves or masks at protest marches....

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Exactly. I think France are probably thinking along the lines of nip it in the bud before they all start wearing them as a means of disguise.

the only problem is that as a way of protest/rebellion, they might start wearing them all the more in other countries that haven't banned the 'who is that person' disguise. such as the UK.

and the streets would look like this.

In appropriate company, then......

I'm sure you're just joking.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

I was referring to the fact that everyone in the group would be anonymous, which allows you to make stuff up about them based on no evidence whatsoever.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Of course you was, Hugh ;)

and I suppose you agree with the reasons for the ban and the consequences too.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Bit of a no brainer really, anyone attending a protest should be forced to remove any face covering or be arrested, especially that man holding hands with V, that is the best horror mask I have ever seen.

I find it interesting that the French ban doesn't extend to those Grace Kelly type headscarfs and sun glasses, so this is acceptable but a nice burqa- niqab combo isn't.

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Once again, your supposition is in error.:)

(btw, the correct usage is "were", not "was" - your dialect is showing....:D).

He always gets petty when he's flustered :)

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Pedantic rather than petty, and you couldn't fluster a feather :D (although, you could probably be a fluffer, rather than a flusterer...;)).

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

Anyone attending a protest etc and covering their face, can be forced to remove it or be arrested. Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, gives the police the power to remove such face coverings;)
However, the police can come unstuck at the moment, because the race/religion card can be played, which could prevent them from unmasking someone in a burqa:td:

Re: Ban the burkha ?
 

But on the bright side, they might have a bit of difficulty doing a runner in a burqa.

Swings/roundabouts....:D

Thats one flick I wouldn't want to be involved in :disturbd::D
