Only when things are a little slow on here and I feel like upsetting Mancie:D

Re: Frogs ban Burqa
 

So I presume it wasn't a "slow day" when that corpulent, useless Tory windbag, Clarke pronounced that prison didn't work and the government were going to cut down on prison places, so you didn't feel the need to tell us.

I venture to suggest that if a member of the previous government had made exactly the same pronouncement, it would magically have been transformed into a "slow day" and you would have rushed on here to copy and paste the story from one of your two favourite news sources, the Mail or the Express! ;)

Re: Frogs ban Burqa
 

But of course Wyn, but I did use the Times occasionally only you have to pay to read it on line now mate and I'm very frugal with money these days;)

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

Well, Jaysay, I reckon it's a slow news day today so here you are, have this one on me!

Banning burkas in the UK would be 'rather un-British', says Green | Mail Online

...oh dear, oh dear, she sounds just like those "do gooders" you're always going on about...it really wasn't supposed to be like this under the Tories, was it? :D

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

:eek::eek::eek:Tories What Tories it Con/Libs:D

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

No, the minister who actually said this...

A British Cabinet Minister today delivered a staunch defence of a woman's right to wear a burka.
Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said women were 'empowered' by the freedom to wear the face coverings.

...is a Tory.

Now, go and have some birthday cake! ;)

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

And rightly so.Indeed I propose a National One day a week wear a black mask day.

To that end I have (at my own expense) engaged a supplier at no more than £1 to supply 60 million said masks to all shoppers in major stores.

I appreciate this could cause some difficulties but the cost should be offset by the saving in wages to the people that run our several billion pounds worth of security cameras :hehetable

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

Oh come on Wyn she's not a Tory she's a woman:hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::D

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

So was Thatcher (or so the rumour goes). ;)

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

Well she did have more balls than Ed:D

Re: Frogs ban Burqa
 

Really:eek: But look at the quote. It says nothing about child benefits or other forms of welfare. It deals specifically with appreciation of the efforts of the Poles in WWll. Battle of Britain, Monte Cassino, Arnhem ... it is not an argument to mention "left wing drivel", merely argumentum ad hominem ... a whole bunch of which goes on when Mancie offers his opionion ...

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

Anyway, the Syrians have now banned the Burka from their Universities and schools.

Re: Frogs ban Burka

Re: Frogs ban Burka
 

Maybe it's a question we should put to Graham Jones...would you vote to ban the Burka...Yes or No?

Re: Frogs ban Burka
