I can't understand Britain's attitude to the burqa. They refuse to follow France by introducing a law banning women from wearing it. Immigration Minister Damian Green says it's "rather un-British" and contrary to a "tolerant and mutually respectful society". It would be "undesirable" for Parliament to vote on a burqa ban and there was no prospect of the Coalition government proposing it, Mr Green said.
I thought it was the Labour Government who were over-tolerant regarding some Islamic displays of hatred towards the British population, but now realize it's a bi-partisan issue. It's obvious they don't listen to the people because a survey last week found that 67 per cent of British voters wanted the burqa banned but they won't be moved. Last week the French voted 335-1 to outlaw full-face veils, including burqas, in public.
