| Personally I fail to see the comparison between the BNP and women covering themselves from head to toe. I may come into contact with BNP supporters every day but if I do I don't know about it. On the other hand I am on a daily basis confronted by what I would perceive to be more and more people (cos I don't know who or what is under them) wearing these coverall outfits. That was the reason for the start of this thread not to highlight miscellaneous political parties and cranks. If any group of people starting strutting about in Nazi uniforms I rather suspect they would be banned if not arrested - remember the fuss when Prince Harry donned one for a party. It is impossible to successfully legislate for or against an individual's beliefs but we are frequently finding various things banned in today's society so why not the burka. Crash helmeted men are not allowed in banks, people wearing baseball caps and/or hoodies are banned from various shops and shopping centres, someone was banned from entering Harrods a few months ago because they breached some dress code or other, yet we all have to be tolerant of a growing band of people wearing these veils for no religious reason whatsoever whether it be because they are forced to by some lunatic husband/father/whoever or simply because they are now in the business of drawing attention to themselves to score points. I have seen enough tv discussions about this subject to have discovered that there is absolutely no religious requirement whatsoever for these outfits and they therefore have no place in this day and age in the UK. If we were in many muslim countries we would have to abide by their dress codes but it seems that for anyone coming to the UK the PC brigade insist we have to accept the unacceptable to accommodate them.
