Nah, I'll back a campaign to overturn that, I don't agree that headscarves are a problem. People should be allowed to wear headscarves and the like, the Burkha I can agree with on a security basis as there is a possibility that assailants (Islamic or not!) could not be identified in the same way motorcycle helmets should be removed when entering certain premises. But banning religious garments that pose no potential security/law & order threat sounds ridiculous.

It doesn't mean headscarves are banned - it just means some companies can ban headscarves if they want (as long as they ban all religious symbols equally.)

Personally, I don't like the hajib. A lot of women in London now wear them. I feel sorry for any woman who feels she has to cover her head in 2017. I remember when women had to do this in catholic churches and I'd think it backward if Christian women started covering their heads too (which they still do in some christian communities and have done a lot in the past).

I also think the hajib is responsible for a lot of the anti muslim feelings that are around. It feels backward to be living in a world were women have to cover their heads.

Purely from a truly liberal stance, people should be allowed to wear what they want. If employers can stop people wearing religious garments, why can't they make women wear heels?

Oh I agree with that - so I wouldn't ban the hajib - or even the burka for that matter. But companies should be allowed to decide on their company's dress policy - but no - not force women to wear high heels because high heels have been sexualised.....

Incidentally this still goes on in the Russian and Greek Orthodox church, but only in churches afaik.

It's 2017, I'm amazed there are still religions on earth. Haven't people woken up to the fact that there's on old man behind the clouds who gets angry if you show hair but somehow doesn't mind giving some random babies cancer. Astounding...
All companies should be secular and ban all religious symbols. There's just no room for all that rubbish in a modern society. Do what you want at home, but keep it private

Censorship, interesting. You would be left wing would you?

Train wreck Brexit is my prediction. That is Brexit with no agreements in place at all.

No agreements, no plan, have we all gone insane?
