Re: The Last Straw
How can you check any visual ID in any situation when the person is wearing a veil? I noticed on the bank door as I went in yesterday that there's a picture of a motorbike helmet and underneath it says "Friend or foe? We don't know. Please remove your helmet before entering." Yet surely the same applies in the case of a full face veil.
I was talking to a woman in the bus stop yesterday, as you do, and a black shape floated past us. There wasn't even an eye slit, this outfit totally covered the person from head to toe. It must have been possible for her to see out but impossible for anyone else to even see her eyes. Until recently we never saw anyone dressed like this in Accy.
The woman I was speaking to said "Oh, would you look at the state of that one!" Was she being racist? Well I don't know but maybe it will affect your opinion if I add that she herself has brown skin and was wearing a shalwar kameez with the scarf resting on the back of her head and loosely draped around her shoulders.
