Yesterday the UKIP party took another step towards the ideology of the BNP and their radical racial views. For some time now the BNP have been jumping up and down shouting beware Islam like some demented child and thus gaining support from people who believe their hate propaganda.
Now it appears UKIP has decided they want a piece of the action as they have now put forward their argument to ban the burka and the niqab — the Islamic cloak that covers women from head to toe.
Lord Pearson of Rannoch, the leader of UKIP said “We are taking expert advice on how we could do it. It makes sense to ban the burka — or anything which conceals a woman’s face — in public buildings. But we want to make it possible to ban them in private buildings. It isn’t right that you can’t see someone’s face in an airport.”
He went on to say “We are not Muslim bashing, but this is incompatible with Britain’s values of freedom and democracy.”.
Eh? So a value of freedom and democracy is then to ban a relegious garment? Sorry Lord Pearson, you are talking gibberish.
Freedom and democracy gives the person the right to wear such items. Inflicting a ban on them is thus removing the persons freedom in a democracy.
Also are balaclavas, scarfs over faces, hoodies, hallowen masks also going to be banned? Or could it be just because it’s a relegious item?
Or is this as many expect a simple act to try and gain votes of the people who are torn between voting for UKIP or the BNP.
