FARAGE: The burka is ‘anti-British’
Telegraph ^ | June 11 | Telegraph

Nigel Farage has described the burka as “anti-British” as he called for a “debate” on banning face coverings in the UK.

The Reform UK leader issued his strongest comments yet about the issue on Tuesday as he unveiled the party’s new chairman, Dr David Bull.

It comes after Zia Yusuf, the former chairman, resigned last Thursday after one of Reform’s MPs raised banning the burka in Parliament. Mr Yusuf said it was “dumb” to talk about the issue because outlawing face coverings was not party policy.

However, on Tuesday, Mr Yusuf appeared at a Reform UK press conference and said he would continue working for the party as head of “UK Doge”, an efficiency campaign in Reform-run councils.

Mr Farage was asked whether he supported previous comments by Dr Bull that the burka was an anti-British symbol.

He replied: “This is about priorities. You know, I don’t like to see the burka. I think [Dr Bull]... I think he’s probably right.

“It probably is anti-British in the sense that [...] I don’t know if they’re being forced to cover up.

“That is not a good and positive thing, but is it absolutely front and centre of what we’re going to campaign for? Not given the other major crises we face.”

Mr Farage also compared burkas, which are worn by Muslim women to cover the body and face, to face masks used by far-Left protesters.

So is....white guy wimpering under duress from the government and media.

They only have the power that white men give them....and they have given away just about it all.

But as Dr Ray says of men parents...dads...regarding their poor parenting style....tolerate, tolerate, tolerate, KILL!

We men need to wrestle everything,everyone,immediately and EVERY TIME or satan makes Everyone lose, humiliatingly.

OBVIOUSLY ban it. If they want their women to wear them so badly, they can take move with their women to the that they spend their holidays in, which is almost always the SAME COUNTRY they claimed that they escaped from, in fear of their lives (as in claiming ‘refugee’ status).

“covid face mask ... are now merely an expression of leftwing lunacy.”

That they are. Leftists love to be ordered around. It gives them a sense of security to be slaves of the State.

What if everyone in the world wore black bags. How could you identify anyone other than “it was a 6’2’ black bag”. Islam itself needs to be banned in western societies.
