Ban the Burka yes or no ?

No messing about get rid of it. If they don't like it ruff crap Britain been full of do good people for far to long.
DoesnDoesn't make me feel safe walking down the road sorry.

I got this vision of a big tough bricky being too scared to walk down the streets of Ponty. I could understand it if you meant the local women

Shouldn't be banned but should be required to take them off in government locations such as airports , polling stations , job centre etc..

If you think Boris gives a toss about the Burka then your sadly mistaken , his statement was all about political posturing and straight out of the trump playbook .

Say something moderately offensive and the average voter will think " I like this guy , says what we are all thinking "

Agree hes going for pm

No keep it and use it to cover up most of the women in Caerphilly. Its like Halloween everyday down here lately

Definitely. It's about time somebody made a stand. Could our wives or girlfriends go to their country and wear a bikini? Would they let us open a Catholic church in their countries? They want to live in the UK then live like us

We live in a country where freedom of speech is a given though mate.

No religion should be above the law. They get enough free passes as it is.

I think it's a great idea for ugly fu**ers like me. It might help me pull more!

well i am all for politicians that are willing to say...what we are all thinking, whether they be called Boris or Jeremy.
i know its thinking out of the box..but politicians that REPRESENT the views of the population..wow

What's Chris Burka ever done to receive a ban ? I thought he was good for us. Some people eh.

Boris was taking the piss yet this morning some daft bint in a bin bag was on ITV claiming it was a hate crime. I’ve frequently had it ripped out of me for how I dress, every religion gets fun poked at them.......except one?

We should be careful with this topic

An elderly widowed burka wearer could be reading this

Or a child in a burka

Or somebody who has low confidence wearing there burka out in public

The comedy bar has just been set a little bit higher, brilliant response!

Only on the grounds of fairness to all .
If you can’t get petrol in a petrol station wearing a crash helmet if your a motorcyclist how can you let a person with a burka ?

Yes it smacks as big brother attitude can see nothing wrong with the headscarf .

It's a façade mate he is no different to the rest of them .Merely trying to position himself as different from the rest of the politicians just like Donald has . Self serving Etonian bag of wind that cares about the same things you do.? I think not .

..no. Just paint them red..

my post was about politicians..your reply was anti boris
no agenda there..

Some of you might find it funny being deaf but I can understand someone shouting waving their hands aggressively.
Hope you never suffer any disabilities in the future.
Trying to survive from Bowel Cancer and being hard of hearing is no joke.
But maybe you can find one.

At no point did I see anyone here making a joke about deafness here or am i missing something.
Granted that a joke has been made about the situation but surely that is different
I prefer to think that as a deaf person you were treated the same as everyone else on here which to my mind is true equality which is what Most want to see here.
I'm really sorry to hear about your troubles with cancer as well as putting up with the affliction of hearing disability and i'm sure everyone here feels the same.
I think you have a valid point and deaf people should not be excluded in society ever.

Your reply I feel deflected from the point and stopped genuine responses to your point as people dont want to be drawn into a conversation about your disability.

Good luck with the treatment. Great point about the lip reading as it's something i had never considered before.

bluebirdrob can fully understand what it's like to be hard of hearing as i suffer from tinnitus myself . must be hard coupled with cancer too . try to keep your chin up fella

I really do not have any thoughts about the Burka, however interesting that when there is a crisis in govt any govt will look for scapegoats in the past single mothers/gypsy travellers and now Muslim women

He's only saying what the majority of us is thinking

He's only saying what the majority of us is thinking

yes he is.

Safety reasons for me. Driving crossing the road etc.

Yes and in Banks, they could be robbers, if I'm not allowed to wear a motorcycle helmet or a balaclava, I shouldn't be allowed to wear a Burka either !!!

80% in favour on a ban is quite resounding especially as this board has very left leaning views

I don't think its even a debate mate, it's unacceptable to cover your face in public in our country/society for a number of reasons.

I don't think its even a necessity in their religion (happy to be corrected, I'm no expert).

I don't think many people are bothered by the Hijab or Dupatta but the Burka and and Niqab have no place in an open society.
