I believe each person has the right they may be able to recognize another, in case that other injures them. The only reason another might refuse that right is because they want to live in darkness, or they're ugly as hell.

Ping!
Banned?
That is a little much for a free society.
I favor veils for alleged women such as Christianne Amanforsure, and of course for Helen Thomas.
2 people read the Daily express. How they get this percentage?
I bet they are also jumping over each other in the Muslim community to declare Fatwas and Jihads agaisnt radical Islam and Osama Bin Laden right?
If the ban does not pass people should start wearing ski masks
in protest.
Wearing it is a little much.
This will be a good test of who and what the British government represents, themselves, political correctness and multiculturalism, or the people.
How bout a kangaroo trial and execution?
Well, I understand perfectly. Britons (and everyone else for that matter) have the right to have a good look at whoever is approaching them for whatever reason. If you want to hide your hair from public view, fine with me. However, there's no good reason to hide your face in public. Only bank robbers and KKK members hide their faces in public. Hardly the kind of company a good Muslim woman should want to be line up with.

Long past time to tell the muslims to piss off.
The Arabs ban things such as women driving and women in bikinis. I don't see a single problem with banning veils, and anyone who santimoniously squawks about "free societies" should go live in a Muslim country for a while and enjoy their "freedom."
Maybe total freedom isn't quite what we thought it was. Everything needs moderation and limits, even freedom; especially when too much "freedom" is endangering the survival of your country.
"That is a little much for a free society."
I agree. I wouldn't support that kind of measure here.
Hear hear! "Pass the grapes dear, and you missed a spot..."
The veil is a perfect cover for terrorists. Literally.
"The veil is a perfect cover for terrorists. Literally."
True but I can't see banning it in a free society. It'd be like banning backpacks.
