For me it?s like treating women like dirt and in medieval times ie Afghanistan. There?s safety issues too as it?s hard for face recognition and after all - we are in the U.K. The Tories have just raised it and one MP says it should be banned.

My view is 100% ban it! Any other views?
Totally agree! Safety is my major concern as you do not know whose face is being hidden, male or female. It is OK to ban youths in hoodies in shopping centres but not something that completely hides an individual’s identity. Double standards. This is the UK after all - isn’t it?
