I don't think it's racist or bigoted to not feel comfortable with the burka.

It's just the daily mails way of telling us, just in case we didn't read it the first time.

I agree with you there, Brenden.
Those 2 words get bandied about so often, not least on here, that they have lost meaning and impact.

I don't know, the modern robber hasn't got a clue, whats the matter with the good old fashioned stocking pulled over the head and a Jag Mk 2 ( 3.4 litre ) get a way car.

am i the only one finding it funny the escape vehicle was moped....

[Svejk]

I think it was an EDL stunt.

i doubt anyone in the store found it amusing, did you see the mess, why treat thugs and criminals as a joke, even if one was wearing a burkha.
all the other smash and grab raids that have happened in recent days in the capital have used motorbikes or mopeds, as they can get in and out of the area quickly. The only reason this one didn't was because they hit a grille and skidded over.

i wouldn't find this funny had i been in the store, update on the earlier link
