Re: Ban the burkha ?

Let me fine tune something, If you go to the airport, you will be asked if you are wearing a Burka, to remove it, for SECRUITY reasons, if you go to an office, you will be asked to remove ANYTHING that is covering your face, for secruity reason.

My life and my families life are more important than peoples petty arguements about what is covering someones face, at the present moment FRANCE and BELGUIM, are going through parliament to have such item banned, this country should follow suit.

The argument is mostly if they want to wear it then let them. nobody says that about you wanting to wear a balaclava.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense, disallow them in areas where security is an issue, such as a hospital, or an airport, but not just strolling down the street right?

As for France, they're looking at banning them from state owned buildings, not private offices, or the street.

I see your on top form tonight Gary,: having said that I think the only people who are in danger of committing suicide are those of us trying to decipher your increasingly inane posts.

I find this a lot on the trains into Victoria and Waterloo every morning. No, not people moving away from me, but people who have body odour issues. And it might come as a suprise to you Arthur, but none of them are wearing Burkhas... Now what was the point of your post?

In fairness, *any* aroma can be bad. I was standing next to a young blonde girl on the train, and the smell of her perfume almost caused to to choke. The problem was she had simply put too much on.

Body odour is (an unfortunate) part of travel on public transport. Everyone smells at some point. Even if you smother yourself in deodorant (which can be as offensive as BO), you may get to a point where you get so sweaty that your deodorant gives up. I've been at that point myself a few times..

That's why I hate perfume!
I can't smell it, but unfortunately I can taste it, and it can really spoil the moment.
