but we, as a country are backing down in our own country. this is not a racism thing (though i can see perfectly why it would appear that way) it's watching ones history go down that pan. why are we bowing to these requests? is it because it's the british way? i don't know what it is or what is wrong for putting your own beliefs, in your own country, before others

So when the Romans forced their religion on us that was fine because it happened long ago?
 
A motorbike helmet is to protect one from falling off their bike, and the others are an item to wear for warmth in the cold weather. You could argue about the balaclava as it's used by a lot of robbers. but I don't see why you couldn't wear it early in the morning on a freezing day at work or something, just take it off if you go into a shop!

A veil is for religious reasons, they wear the veil in the summer so it's not main purpose is for warmth, but religion. I don't think people want this sort of religious non-sence to take over this country.

Or to remove identity, no need to ware a helmet when not on a bike and no reason to wear any of the others in public.

And hoodies are worn is summer for warmth?

As said if it's security face covering needs ot be banned, not veils.

As you clearly state in your post, this is yours and many others intolerance to religion with no valid reasons behind it.
This is the first time in history that we have allowed ourselves to become colonised without a fight, and with the complicity of our own government.

It goes back a lot longer than this government, Victorians, ww2 and so on.

We are being colonised and in future Britain will be unrecognisable from what it is today. Just as it is unrecognisable today compared to 60 years ago. Hell, even 20 years ago.

The world has changed and has made it easier for people to move. The word colonisation and the way it is used when discussing immigration is purely to stir up tensions in my opinion.

How many people from the UK have emigrated to the likes of Spain and Australia over the years, do we ever suggest we are trying to colonise those countries?
 
Were you told directly or was it inferred?

I can't see why they would do as such when the owner of this company could be your political doppelganger.

I recall making a few threads which were soon closed and I was advised not to post stuff like that here. So as you can see, I am endeavouring to respect the forum rules. Speak to JohnnyG.

We already colonised Australia, remember?

You might wear the helmet in public when fueling at a petrol station, as it saves time and is convenient. I don't see any of them going into shops with them on in a town though.

I agree with the hoodies one, it is stupid to wear them when it's warm.

You see it all the time as you have to pay which most of the time means going in the shop.

As said if it's security, face covering of any sort needs to be banned, not veils.

Guys im going to start wearing the male version of a Burka to respect my wifes wishes...

Am i being oppresed?

You guys ddidnt know there was a male version? no?

Cool.. a lot of the religious guys who are married do wear it to some degree. The only difference is if its a vull body suit it doesnt cover there face but then not all islamic girls wear full body veils either.

Come on PEOPLE REALISE!

This is such stupid hype and people are being ignorant and falling for it.

I think nothing should be banned at all from wearing, however I voted yes, because a balaclava is banned too in public because it covers the face and I think no exceptions should be made for religion, sod religion !

If the balaclava was allwed in public then who cares, the muslims can wear all their face covering bs as they please. But do not bloody ban one thing but allow the other ''because it's for a religion''

No sorry I meant they do wear them in the pertol station shop, ofcourse but not in main highstreet shops.

Yes I believe theres no place for religion.
 
I'm unsure on this. I think that, ultimately, people should be free to wear whatever they choose. But that does not advance this argument any further, given that as far as I'm aware, a overwhelming majority of female Muslims detest having their femininity repressed. But in the interest of balance, I do know somebody, first hand, that does quite enjoy it.

I could go down the route of telling you about a time when I was walking around my local town dressed as a ninja, got asked to reveal my face as I was entering a shopping centre (naturally, I obliged courteously). I'm not sure whether I need to finish the story, but there was a veiled lady walking through totally unimpeded. That did frustrate me somewhat.

If I were to argue in favour of the ban, I would go about it by saying that I believe it would not be a ban on women wearing the veil as such, it would be a ban on the male dominating the female, dictating what she is to wear and repressing her femininity. A ban on that is something I would gladly argue for.

Again, in which case, why are you singling out veils, rather than asking for a general ban on face coverings in certain places.
