Banning the burkha is un-British says UK governement.

"Telling people what they can and can't wear, if they're just walking down the street, is a rather un-British thing to do,"

"Britain is a free country. We value our freedoms and we don't want MPs or the government telling British citizens what they can or can't wear."

 

Shame, the government doesn't listen to the vast majority of the citizens. In a recent Yougov poll 67.2% of people in the UK want the Burka banned.

I would argue it that the Burka is "un-British"

I think if the burka got banned I really wouldn't lose sleep over it, in the end this is a secular nation so if it did get banned we should just respect it as that is what the majority of the citizens wants.
