We Got One Right.

I see the French lower house has followed the Belgian example by voting for a ban on wearing the burkha in public. As a sometime Francophile, this disappoints me.


A British government minister said there were no plans to do the same here. He said it would be ‘un-British’ to tell people what they can and cannot wear. At last I have a reason to applaud the statement of a British politician, and to take some pride in my nationality.


No more xenophobia, please.
