Thanks for bringing the thread back on line Andy, but please let me address something what you said.
/// is it right in a civilised society to stop a section of the community from dressing as it wishes, simply because the rest of us find it slightly unsettling.///
Whether it is right or wrong, that is up to the individual person's own preferences, what might seem acceptable to one doesn't mean it has got to be acceptable to another.
Obviously in a civilised society one must accept a certain standard of dress, as it has been said before, one is not allowed to walk down the street, naked or in very revealing dress, and that is law.
/// Could Britain have the guts to do likewise? Again, it is simply a matter of due process.///
When I used the word 'guts' I merely meant the 'initiative', Governments would love to introduce certain measures or laws, but fear to do so, in case of the consequences that may arise from them doing so.
