Now I don't often do this and usually relish the abuse and labels of racism and so on that get heaped upon me but here is an example of something that I find abhorrent and that I feel strongly about.
I am all for being free to be rude, offensive, to take the piss and generally be contemptuously dismissive of Islamic attitudes towards women and what they expect them to wear whilst out in public. And I get why it is more than reasonable to expect women who choose to dress themselves in this fashion to have to comply with police requests to identify themselves but to ban such clothing, and then enforce it in this manner, achieves nothing positive.
And why I have nothing but despair in my heart when it comes to Frances future. I know there has been a lot of hyperbole around the entire 'clash of civilisations' narrative but this sort of event only seems to make that almost a foregone conclusion.
