What I am saying is that there are a lot of circumstances in which wearing a helmet just isn't suitable with a lot of them being in public areas.. I don't see any reason as to why there just couldn't be a blanket ban on covering up your full face in public unless you're following another law (for example riding a bike with a helmet) If the biker isn;t riding then I see no reason to leave the helmet on, though saying that a lot of couriers used to leave their helmet on in the rain purely to keep their heads dry

There is though one hell of a difference between stepping out of your house and covering your face for the explicit reason of simple covering your face than there is in stepping out in a full face helmet with the intent of riding a bike within the current laws.. One is for protection, the other is for some archaic religious misinterpretation and I'm extremely suprised that you're comparing the two..
The police already have the powers to stop someone acting suspiciously and question them.
Knowing how yuck it is to put a helmet on over wet hair, why would you suggest it should be illegal for a biker to keep their helmet on in the rain while they're walking up the road to their destination?
Similarly on a cold windy day, why should it be illegal to protect your face with a scarf?
On halloween, why should it be illegal to go out unless you're showing your face?
Fancy dress party? Best not turn up in that gorilla suit!

Seriously?
Do you think a bukha only covers the head?
Don't you realise how it restricts movement?
