Does public want a burka ban?
Woodlands Avenue Queensbury
I have heard many political commentators condemn UKIP's policy of "Banning the Burka" but I have not seen these same condemnations mirrored by the general public; on the contrary the feedback I have had from all communities in Bradford has been very positive.
Not only are the security risks of Burkas obvious but the fact that they contribute to creating divisions in our city should, on its own, be a good reason to ban them.
If you cannot gauge a person's expression then it is almost impossible to engage them in any kind of meaningful conversation.
Even though we are the only political party calling for a full ban in public areas I suspect it will only be a matter of time before the old parties are forced to take up this policy as they see their support and votes slip away.
Politicians love to take about 'change', but there is really only one party who has the passion and courage to deliver!
