Is This The Time To Say

[TWR]

No more Masks, the UK Is under threat, we can not trust anyone especially persons wearing the Burka, before the Goody Goody H.R. Jump in, this Issue needs addressing & quick.

[Mamyalynne]

From a personal viewpoint, banning masks wouldn't affect me very much as long as I could wear my scarf round my mouth when the wind is cold.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah
ballyclavas would go as well and this would obviously lead to a reduction in jewel heists and other robberies

The burqa should be banned because it is oppressive.

That said I doubt we have to worry about the burqa wearer but we may have to worry about a few that make women wear one.

'evening Bill,

Anonymous will be in trouble then

[TWR]

For fecks sake the coffin has opened.

[-Talbot-]

You're posting from a coffin?

[Baldric]

Why do you feel the need to be offensive all the time TWR?

[-Talbot-]

Evening Ben.

[TWR]

Did you pop over to open it T?

[TWR]

Snap.

@TWR

You've been in the echo chamber for too long. Only people with the same views as you know what H.R. stands for.

Human Resources? (I still refer to it as Personnel because it winds them up, 'though Blogger knows why).

[Baldric]

Snap does not make any sense.

[Mamyalynne]

TWR, don't be rude - maybe we have misconstrued your question.

[TWR]

Hypo, never heard of Human Rights?

[Baldric]

I see they've included "Hopelessly Repressed" which kinda raises a question!

[Hypognosis]

@TWR

I cannot fail to have heard about it as more than one ABer is always baying on about it.

Abbreviations are fine when everyone is on the same page but using them at the outset just shuts out all of us non-mindreaders.

I wanted to post a Young Ones clip, with Jerzy Bolowski going to Narnia while off his head on one of Vyvian's experimental potions but only the full episide (S1 Ep6) is available.

I wind a scarf around my mouth and nose when the wind is cold! It is very, very easy, however, to differentiate between that and cultural coverings.

I (we, actually) were offended by the interview after the Paris outrage of a woman who veiled her face. It should be a policy not to interview anyone who is afraid to be seen.

Mona Siddiqui (Prof. of Islamic Studies at Edinborough and a regular contributor for 'Thought for the Day') emphasises the need for integration today with a (very courageous) article - "there is no depth in talking about piety when your only concern is wearing the hijab".

The hijab, the burkha, the traditional dress - all symbols of difference - all have to go if Muslims want to have a chance of being assimilated into the Western world they inhabit. Nothing wrong with keeping traditional festivals at which you wear traditional dress - but otherwise it is a 'NO!'

I cite other nationalities (Poles are an example) where externally they are generally indistinguishable from the native British population and they have, by and large, integrated well (my best friend at school was half Polish). This statement of 'I am different from you and I show it by my dress' has to stop. Now.

It is time we stopped people from wearing things that hide their identity, nobody can tell who might be In disguise.
