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

I agree it should be banned, if they want to wear them in there home thats fine but places like schools, shops, banks, airports etc it should be banned.

I guess that means you want hoodies, sunglasses, beards, hats and helmets banned from those places too?

I think you'll find they are very restricted were they can wear them
which has already been covered in the thread so your post is pointless and very ignorant .Do some googling and find out why the women wear veils and then try to work out why wearing them in the house is a ridiculous remark to make

Hoodies no because you can still see there faces
Hats no again same as hoodies
Helmets why would someone wear if they are off there motorbike etc
sunglasses again you can still see the face more clearly than you ca if they wear a burkha.

Nobody would expect you to - it's just your post makes little sense unless viewed as being racially/religiously biased.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the burkha. I think it looks daft and can look intimidating sometimes. The other day a women in the car next to me in traffic had the full-faced veil and was eating what looked like were sweets, at one point she forgot was she was wearing and tried to put one in her mouth while the veil was covering her, I couldn't stop laughing for ages

But...this is MY problem, not hers. If people are happy to wear things like that in public who the hell are we to tell them not to just because we don't like it or the way it makes us feel?

For security purposes at banks, airports etc I have no problem with them being banned but out in the street just because we don't like what we see? How hypocritical is that.

I don't mind if you agree or not ,but suggesting that the women should only be allowed to wear them in the house is ridiculous .Just to help you out ..they wear them to stop other men they do not know from looking at their faces,so a bit pointless wearing them in the house don't you think

My daughter's college tutor asked his class what they thought about banning the burkha in the UK...

One chubby lass suddenly sat bolt upright, looking shocked

"OMG! I couldn't live without MacDonalds or Burger King!!!!"

I know why they wear them and I understand but it was just a saying as such, I don't agree with it because of the secuirty of it, even in the street its a issue because that could be anyone under that burkha

When was the last time someone robbed a bank while wearing one?

I don't agree with them because of the security issue either a good point and one i have made myself ,but i draw the line at a ban as the french have done because it would also mean that half the clothes teenagers wear would be banned as well because under that hoody it could be anyone ,or behind that scarf on cold day it could be anyone ,or ...i could go on but i'm sure you get the point .You can't just ban clothing because Muslims wear them ,and like it or not,correct or incorrect that is how you appear

I did post some links earlier in the thread to highlight the security issue ,banks ,post offices ,airports ect but in my opinion that threat should be dealt the same as helmets ect, as although there is an issue with potential robbers using burkas to hide their appearance the threat is no greater from someone using a helmet to commit a crime

It was him 3rd from right. behind the one in front of him.
and if they don't catch him now. he'll keep on doing it.
but try not to offend anyone by asking the wrong one to show his face or we'll have hell to pay.

I hate this man. he knows we'll never catch him
