By the same token British women have the right not to have such a blatant representation of female oppression shoved in their faces on their own doorstep!

Angus is right - it is no coincidence that most supporting burkas are male - who clearly have no proper understanding of the subject, how could they! So now you are saying that the rights of Muslim women override the rights of British women!

Maybe some Muslim women do 'choose' to wear the burka - but how many really do and are saying they do because they are being pressurised by men or their culture to do so - or they have been so brainwashed, they actually believe it! It is nowhere near as clear-cut as some imply! People shouldn't take everything at face value - things aren't always what they seem!
