Good. Now someone needs to question whether it's legal for the husband to confine his wife to the house.
And if anyone objects to the Mail link, here's another one.

Banning the Burka in the UK will never happen. In today's Express there's a story of a youth being taken to court for wearing trousers with the crotch around his knees. The CPS withdrew the case as the judge said it would infringe his human rights to wear what he wants. My view is if he want's to look like a prat then let him.

It is a myth that the women are forced to wear Burkas. They are not, most choose to. That is obviously based on her upbringing and the religious teachings she believes.
As I have said numerous times, it is ridiculous that the Government can tell someone what they can and cannot wear. None of us have a right to tell any other person they cannot wear that shirt or that dress, so why do you think you have a right to tell these women they cannot wear this garment?
The fact that our Government (and presumably a Conservative one) will never pander to a few small minded bigots is not a show of weakness, it is a show of strength.

Italy has NOT banned the burkha.
A woman has been fined for wearing a bukha in public, and the fine is a regional one, brought in by a local mayor - and the ban is on clothing which 'prevents the immediate identification of the wearer inside public buildings, schools and hospitals'.
That's from Metro newspaper this morning.
By the way, the story of the kid who had an ASBO for wearing low slung trousers is shocking. In what way will pulling his trousers up alter his behaviour?
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

I couldnt care less if they are forced to wear it or not.
I find it offensive and objectionable and do not want this country slipping into a muslim state in any way or form, let them go and live in a muslim country and they can do whatever they want, its that simple.
Please go and do this country a big service , leave !

I live in the midst of a large Bangladeshi community, and I have several Bangladeshi friends. I have been to their houses and talked with their wives and daughters. Many of them are imported brides, and covering up when they go out is the norm. They take it for granted, and do not think twice about it. They are certainly not pressured to do so.
Converse to that, I have friends in Turkey, and they would not wear a a headscarf or Burka, and would be very against it. Which goes to prove it is a cultural rather than a religious act.
That is not to say I agree with the Burka. I feel uncomfortable with it, and do not like it. But that is not a reason for me telling anyone who chooses to wear one they shouldn't, or encouraging my Government to ban it.

Lucy, I doubt some of the "youths" today walk round with their trouser crotch around their knees because they want to. They do it because it's seen as cool among their peers and they all must look cool.. The same applies to all ridiculous fashion trends.
As I said, if they want to walk round looking like prats good luck to them. I only hope someone shows their grandchildren the photographs. Heaven knows what those grandchildren will be wearing.

My gran is getting on a bit and isn't as mobile as she once was. Still, she cooks the dinner every night - and I mean every night - and afterwards does the washing up afterwards. My graddad never ever does either of these things.
It's a tough call to say whether she chooses to do this (it's not like she feels empowered by it or enjoys it), or whether it's a cultural thing or whether it's something forced on her by the chauvanistic expectations of my grandad.
Just to be safe, I think the government should pass a law that says they should split these chores between them. Otherwise she's being oppressed isn't she? More laws please!!
