Personally I'd ban it...

I'm all for religious freedom, freedom to express yourself, blah, fecking blah...

But I'm uncomfortable with the burka...

Also, if it is so fecking important to have the country covered in cameras to watch our every move what is the point of allowing the burka...?

It falls into the 'fit in or fuck off' category IMHO...

But just think of the advantages  rubschin:

You'd never have to make sure your hair was ok
That your legs were waxed and silky smooth
Or spend ages getting your make up on

Think of the time you blokes could save waiting around for your ladies to get ready  whistle:
