Are you as furious as these Daily Express readers at M&S' decision to stock bathing apparel for Muslim women?

If I saw those swimsuits in my local M&s it wouldn't make me turn and walk out.
Didn't Nigella wear a similar thing not so long ago? I think women should be able to cover up as much as they wish, within reason. I don't like to see women totally hidden in black in this country. The swimsuits are ok, though. I might get one.

i witnessed a fully veiled mother attempt to eat dinner in a restaurant recently, not entirely successfully - trying to post food through an aperture in a black cloth can't be easy, and a proportion of it went down her front, leaving rather visible orange stains. but the expression on the face of her teenage son was an absolute picture of embarrassed sullen youth, who definitely didn't want to be there......
They can sell what they like, market forces will dominate.
Of course sometimes the right-on forget that many can be offended by such apparel, but then of course a white westerner being offended is at the bottom of the list to a hand-wringing yogurt knitter.
Will I shop there? No I have not set foot in a M+S since they refused to take my credit card as they would only accept their own store card. And yes I do hold grudges for a long time.

All the big supermarkets sell Halal meat so I presume the objectors will boycott them as well and go hungry. I object to smoking but I do not advocate boycotting shops that sell tobacco! Then of course they will have to boycott all the shops run by Muslims leaving very little choice of where to shop!
I don't understand why anyone would be upset at the M & S clothing department selling these items - as advised, no-one is obliged to purchase them.
I would never boycott a shop for selling what people want to buy - obviously within reason.
I would protest though - I wrote a stinking letter to BHS a few years ago when their Christmas range included men's' slippers with the word 'Old' and 'Git' printed on each, which I thought was a horrible message to send to anyone at any time of year. They were withdrawn a couple of weeks after my letter, and have not re-appeared.
