Speaking as the only woman so far to post a reply
.
I am against the burkha being worn in this country ias t is not part of our culture which I feel is slowly being eroded.
Women in the past struggled to gain the ststus they have today, one of the reasons so many foreigners want to come to this country. The burkha by it's very existance puts women back to being the non-person they were hundreds of years ago.
Part of the ability to integrate with your adopted country is communication, how can you get to know someone when there is no facial expression visable.
I should add I have no objection to the burkha being worn in the wearer's country of origin if it is their tradition.
