MP calls for burkas to be banned in Britain
An MP has called for ministers to ban the wearing of burkas, branding it ”offensive” and ”against the British way of life”.
Dear Mr Holloborne, how I dress is my business.
If I choose to wear a burka, that is my business. Yes, I am male, so people might find it offensive, or think I was a more than a little bit odd. If I choose to go to a fancy dress party wearing a pink tutu, or WHATEVER I WANT, that is my business.
Wanting to interfere in how other people live their lives, to stick your nose into people’s affairs, to attempt to set a dress code for the whole country, now that is unBritish, inappropriate and offensive.
I would commend to you The true-born Englishman by the great Englishman Daniel DeFoe.
