With security in mind, the Burqa should not be worn in public places in the UK.
For reasons of security and identification, the wearing of the burqa in public places is already banned in France and Netherlands. With the rise of extremist groups such as ISIS, not putting a ban in place allows such people to conceal their identity, weapons, bombs and allows freedom of movement.
Other countries have already put a burqa ban in place. Convicts both male and female have already evaded capture by wearing a burqa. In eastern counties they are regularly worn by suicide bombers to conceal explosives and other weapons.
