Ban Burkas Completely
I want the British Government to follow the lead of France and Belgium and ban the wearing of Burkas in public.
It is understandable that it is their religion and that their religion states they have to wear such an outfit, but i do not believe that they should be allowed to wear it in the United Kingdom.
Reason are safety, Alot of them drive whilst wearing them, and to be honest if they don't want to be seen, stay at home. What if somebody kills someone whilst wearing a burka? How are witnesses going to ID someone, "oh sorry officer, didn't see what they looked like, they had one of those cloak things on"
