UKIP's policy on banning burkhas and hijabs shows that the
party has no sense of irony. They want
to tackle a culture that tells women what to wear by enforcing a culture that
tells women what to wear. I remain
unconvinced of the security arguments with regards to this policy. For a start, all of the previous jihadist terrorists
in this country have been men in western clothing. What UKIP is really driving at is the feeling
that many of their voters have that they just don't like how these clothes
look. Perhaps instead of criminalising
women of a minority group en masse they should simply grow up and not judge people
by appearances. Is our law not founded
on the notion that people are innocent before proven guilty?
