UK Government: We will ban the burka

Can't believe the UK is following France.

Should the state dictate what one should wear? Or is it necessary to "preserve national security and reduce segregation in communities"?

I knew it was an April's Fool. As if the Government would ever stop pandering to Muslims.
I'll be glad when April Fools is over, it all gets a bit boring after a while
After seeing the thread title it was "OH FOR ****S SAKE", and then it was just "Thank **** it's not real".

If I walk into a shop with my face concealed, I am asked to remove whatever is covering my face.

Why should it be different for anyone else?

It's an April fool?

Religion is bull**** but either way if balaclavas and motorcycle helmets are banned in certain places like banks than so should burkas, since balaclavas and helmets aern't banned in public than nor should burkas
