Re: French MPs vote to ban Islamic full veil in public
 

Sean,

It's just a thumbnail from Sky News (slide 3)

I take it your friend isn't the one who founded Dead or Alive and went on to... (well, I'll leave it there just in case ;) )

EDIT: Here's today's Daily Star:

This isn't the only national newspaper that's been spending years doing this sort of thing.

Thanks Deckard. And no, he's just my friend who's name we make fun of every chance we get. "Ouch! My peter burns!" is the general idea...

Lol, poor fella! Not quite as unfortunate as little Willie Hertz, but still...

Anyway... yes, veiled Muslims...

Muslim woman wearing veil 'refused bus ride' in London

Yasmin said at first she boarded the bus by mistake when it was not in service to ask where it was going, but was told by the driver to get off. "About 10 minutes later... the passengers started getting on. When I went forward to show my ticket he said, 'Get off the bus'. I presumed he was still angry because I got on the bus before. He said, 'I am not going to take you on the bus because you two are a threat.' I realised it wasn't due to me getting on the bus, this may be a racist attack."

She asked for his contact details but when he refused she began to film him and he covered his face. "I said, 'It's OK for you to cover your face on my recording but it's not OK for my friend to cover her face out of choice?'

Good for her!
