Veils should simply be considered inappropriate in a UK courtroom.British people are generally accustomed to seeing someone’s face. It is different if they are disfigured. A mere religious belief is not grounds for obscuring one’s identity.

Trust UK judges to get the issue wrong. And trust people with extreme religious views to be so confrontational. As usual the majority must be over-ruled by the will of an argumentative minority. A courtroom, like a schoolroom is not the place to make points about veils.

This is not some xenophobic Daily Mail scare story. They really are taking over. We should be fighting them not holding our bottoms open for them to shaft.

TOO true . They are doing the same in Cananda what with hard work and refusing to get roaring falling down drunk on a Saturday night . Who knows where this will lead , peace and understanding ?
The brits are the most ignorant of ALL PEOPLE . We use to call them KIPPERS , TWO FACED and GUTLESS and this just proves the point .

Can't you find a paddy to beat up on . Oh that's right they fight back . A bit hipicritical of you KIPPERS to complain about Muslims changing Limyland when you people have been invading countries and destroying cultures for hundreds of years . Now you whine when you get a bit of your own back . Too bloody bad , it looks good on you beer swilling toads . So why don't you find a foot ball game and start a riot ,that seems to be the national pass-time in that beer soaked excuse of a country . Even the Irish and Scots can't stand you and that's saying something .

Bollocks. I'm not having that. We've civilised half the world. We're not the bloody Spanish, you moose molesting tit.

The Jocks and Micks just have an inferiority complex, a bit like the one Canadians have about the United States. As we all know, Canada, Ireland and Scotland aren't really proper countries at all.

Touched a sore spot did I ? In the GREAT WHITE NORTH we tolerate the YANKEES after living with them for a couple hundreds years as neighbors on the same Continent . And that includes all the deception and betrayals that the LIMIES have perpetuated on CANADA FOR THESE 200 YEARS .
Yes the land of foul weather and warm beer has a lot of DAMN gall complaining about some one changing their sorry excuse for a county . No one likes you creatures , even the FROGS know you're a land of SONS OF BITCHS and that's quite an accomplishment when you ponder on that little gem .

I would be worried if everyone started to like us. We don't want to be liked. This is why we always trash foriegn cities when we play foriegners at football. I'm proud of our reputation as the finest hooligans in the world. Hopefully ENGLAND will play Canada some time so we can screw your women, drink all your pathetic weak beer, beat the livingSHIT out of all the blokes, smash up your cities and generally just lord it over you.

Please excuse that idiot you're refering to. He's a disgrace to Canada. Please don't let his intelligence darken your view of Canada, although you seem to be pretty anti-canadian already

Sorry, but the "your not welcome", and "screwing your moose" comments seem anti-canadian to people who don't know your trying to wind him up.

You're right, he is a twot.

I believe that the MUslim women should be able to wear the hijab, but not the veil. Besides there is no law in Islam that says that women have to wear either one. (Try telling that to the Middle Eastern countries)
