Twaddle. British women have been voting since 1918, whereas French women didn't get the right to vote until 1944.
Even Borat's beloved Kazakhstan has had women's suffrage since 1924.

I agree - I was pointing out the irony of his statement(s)....

Re: Ban the burkha ?
I suspect the French laud Joan of Arc because she got one over the English rather than because she was a woman.

Erm, the previous *two* Labour governments also allowed wearing of the Bhurka.
Of course, we can't allow that little fact to get in the way of a good chance to criticise the Tories, can we?

The "quote" button did not carry the "quote" - so I can see how the misunderstanding arose. A thousand apologies.

This was an illegal rally calling for France’s burka ban to be scrapped and for sharia law to be introduced

If they're so intent on living under Sharia law, then why don't they go and live in a country that already uses it instead of suffering in a country that doesn't, and never will?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
As much as I disagree in principle with a ban on the burkha, you've got to love the French. If it's not in France's best interest then they simply don't give a flying frog.

If you are so intent on living in a society that tells women what items of clothing they can and can't wear, then why don't you go and live in a country that has these rules instead of suffering in a country that doesn't, and never will?

Re: Ban the burkha ?
Assuming that the mails article is accurate,i think going to another country demanding that Sharia law be introduced is outrageous As Gary sais if they want to live under Sharia law then go to a country that already has it

I think that only happens in the EU. One of the reason to tell the EU to sod off.
