///Judge Michael Henshell told her that a custodial sentence was necessary to deter others but she was freed by the court because she had already spent more than 12 months in custody on remand///
Only 1 year for this? not much of a deterrent, I think.
She was born in Tangier had a home in Holland but is planning to move to England with her six children, because she believed that she had suffered religious discrimination in the Netherlands.
How can these people just travel and settle in any country they wish to?
It has been debated many times before, but isn't it now time to ban this ridiculous (but it seems convenient) garment.

This is now all becoming silly.
Can't some of you take on board the seriousness of this affair?
This posting has more to do with the ongoing threat of our home residing terrorists than items of clothing.
The reason I mentioned the Burka was because the person involved concealed the memory stick in the folds of this garment, a garment that in the past has been usefully used to conceal not only a persons identity, male or female, but also capable of concealing weapons due to the shapelessness of the garment.
One could say why ban drink containers on board aircraft, just because some terrorist had used them to make bombs.
Dangerous times call for strict actions.

AOG,
As you already know but are pretending not to realise, if burkhas were banned because of their ability to conceal objects, potential terrorists would just wear something else - a billowy dress, a big coat, baggy trousers.
So once that logic is trashed, all that's left is the real reason you want them banned. Namely that you associate them with Muslims - who you detest.
