I think the concern in the case of any riot would be the smashing things up bit. If they get arrested then their identity would be easy enough to establish.
But realistically, as pointed out elsewhere, they are hardly going to use it to stop someone covering their face with a scarf day to day.
If someone is involved in a riot - they will cover their face regardless of this law and, if caught, the fact they've been rioting is probably enough law...
Ok, that makes sense. Fair play then for lending a hand.
But today's generation certainly isn't all Me, Me, Me. There are plenty of kids doing good stuff today.
Can anyone explain why banning the veil and therefore further widening divisions between communities in this country will actually help those women who are being oppressed (which, I feel the need to add to my post, isn't everyone)?
The oppression of anyone is, of course, terrible and should be...
Fair play then. So, of an afternoon in the summer, you were just told to go and score for the local cricket team or help with the rugby club pitch without ANY connection to any of the clubs you were helping?
Didn't they think it was a bit weird some kid who didn't know anyone there or having...
But surely they were for clubs you were involved with? I cannot believe that you were simply dispatched down to the local rugby club of an afternoon to work on the pitch without some sort of connection, i.e. played for youth team or had a relative involved somewhere.
I just think people are wrong to assume that banning the veil would actually a) Help tensions in this country, or b) Help those women who wear them who are being oppressed.
One thing is for certain, regardless of my previous point about it no doubt being a good experience so hopefully not a total waste of time: the way to encourage young people to want to be regular referees is probably not to take advantage of them.
In this instance the lad has a very supportive...
I completely sympathise with the argument that, in some cases, the women wearing them may not be doing so out of choice and that, in some cases, it is a tool of oppression and control.
But, equally, the way to deal with those issues is not, I would argue, to ban the item of clothing.
It won't...
Genuine question for anyone saying to people: "If you don't like it you can go back to your own country." What about British muslims?
A ban on clothing is absurb. Absolutely absurd. And, I suspect, the law was probably introduced to appeaes the anti-Islam movement in France, not because of any...
They won't even cover costs by all accounts. Maybe a slight profit but not enough to help them out financially.
14,000 at £60 is only like 28,000 at £30. Or, to put it another way, slightly better cash return than an average Amex game in terms of ticket sales. That is before you take into...
I went to Auschwitz last month and learnt of an amazing tale. Every time someone escaped, ten people would be chosen to be killed. One man chosen begged the guards not to kill him because he had a young family. An onlooker, Maximilian Kolbe, offered to take his place. The man whose place he took...
Argus says some time between 2000-2004.
He is 40 now so would have been 31 or younger. We were going from League Two to Championship strugglers.
I really find this hard to believe considering our stature and budget at the time. No reason for him to say it if it isn't true though. What a flair...
