  The Burka is nothing to do with religion, only culture. True of the headscarfe as well up to a point. Many decent muslims do not adopt either.
  
  I hate seeing the burka on British streets, it is not our culture and simply does not belong. It really does rankle with me as it is clearly making a political statement as well that I find provocative.
  
  That said I really cannot justify a banning of it as it is no place for a government to instruct how people should dress.
  
  That said, it would be reasonable for the government, indeed all employers, to enforce a dress code on their employees that excludes burkas (and even the headscarfe, though that is less objectionable). Certainly where people in ordinary activities are invloved in situations where identity is relevant should be required to display their features as well.
