Nigel Farage has indicated that UKIP would like the wearing of the Burka to be banned.
Whilst difficult to enforce and a restriction of civil liberty I can see his point.
After all if any of us went into Barclays at Lunchtime with a Balaclava on I think we may well be arrested. We cannot have one rule for one section of society and one for another. I am with Sarcozy on this and would like to see a more Secular society.
Well, this is a post that will start the fur flying.
I believe that Australia has banned it as well and I also think it should be banned here.
The UK is a diverse country in it's ethnic makeup and tolerant with it's acceptance of new and different cultures however I believe that wearing of the Burka is wrong in this country.
It is an abuse make to women wear it as it is fundamentally a method of subdegation.
It is totally against the hope that different cultures will successfully integrate in the UK.
It is a threat to the security of the UK particularly where air travel is concerned.
It is an afront to the sensitivities many people here, particularly older people, that feel threatened by the overt demonstration of wanting to create adifferent society within the UK.
