Re: The Last Straw
As much as I agree with you Tealeaf that in a democracy the majority rules but in this case the poll was not about the original issue.
However in this country only lip service is paid to true democracy as chav1 has pointed out.
The media and some citizens have twisted it away from the original issue and that was simply should a person be required to remove the veil in a one to one situation like attending a consultation with an MP in the constituency surgery? From that it also follows that the veil should also be removed whilst attending banks, post offices, police stations, courts, job interviews and meetings with officials. And as a matter of courtesy when meeting and talking to a member of the public. In short anywhere where a person wearing a full face crash helmet would be required to remove it.
