You should have the freedom to wear or not wear whatever you like on your head.

A shop keeper should have the freedom, should they so choose, to refuse entry or service to those that he feels he doesn't want to serve.
 
Ban them, send them back.

If we (well, women really) go to their country, we have to do it their way. If their women come here ........ we have to do it their way. I mean if you took the Mrs. to Saudi Arabia or other places like that, what would you do? You do things in the way they do them and keep your mouth shut about it. You wouldn't start breaking the rules and let her talk to men etc.
 
Burka's are so utterly backward and Neanderthal. Its not a religious thing its a man power thing. I say we go French and ban them.

this tbh

but if people 'want' to wear them then they should be able too. just should have the same rules as crash helmets / hoodys like people have said
 
You should be allowed to wear whatever you want, but anywhere you must show your face (i.e. crash helmets off) all headwear should be removed.
 
I have nothing against them being worn, so long as they do so by their choice, forcing people to wear them I'm against
 
Ban it, I'm not allowed to wear a Balaclava in public either am I, everyone would think I just robbed the bank...
 
Don't let yes win!

Why, we aren't allowed to wear similar face covering clothing either ? Why should we make an exception for burka's ?

Well lets be honest, the only reason UKIP want s to ban them is because they're uk nationalists and dont' accept other peoples culture.
Prevention of terrorism is just a poor excuse.

Hardly a poor excuse, it can be used to rob people, rob banks, drive off without paying at petrol stations, etc... I'm against nationalism but a person's face should be visible for all in public...

We don't want to though. I choose get tougher on it as I agree for ID purposes but don't ban them completely, thats like the old days where women weren't allowed to wear trousers

We have no obligation to accept other people's cuture, especially if aspects of it deny women, or anyone else for that matter, rights.

You have every right to wear what you want, however, as soon as you try to force people to cover their faces, mutilate their genitals or some such you lose any right to "respect" or acceptance.
