AS has already been stated that certain shopping precincts,shops,banks, petrols stations have been know to ban the wearing of hoodies/hats, again thought those figures are difficult to come by.. any help out there collecting them.

I'll make my position clear on this - I think the majority of anti-burkha posters on here have their view simply because it's based in Islam, nothing more.
I'm all for the banning of any types of clothing for security purposes in banks, airports etc whether a burkha, helmet, hat etc
But banning it from all public places? That's just pure Islamiphobia. There is no evidence to suggest wearing something which completely covers someone's face in public creates a significant security risk. If you insist on burkhas being banned in public then you have to agree to helmets, hats, opened umbrellas and hoodies being banned too otherwise you're on the way to supporting an 1984 type state.
