Especially not that one.
I believe in general that double standards are what really has angered people.
I was in Manchester recently and visited a certain shopping complex
There were security guys at the entrance and I personally witnessed the following
A young girl (with I assume her Mum) - clearly with a complex about her condition was trying to hide some form of disfigurement around the left of her face using the hood from her coat.
These two guards made her take the hood down
Withing seconds - and I mean seconds.
1 (I can only assume he was muslim - I'd hate to use the word "looked" at this stage) man and 2 women in bhurkas approached
Did security stop them - did they ****, they just let them on through however they clearly distressed the young girl prior

Thanks Paul and Lesley for some useful insight and a little balance.
There should be no double standards whatsoever. If you wish to frequent a PUBLIC place then I think a face veil isn't appropriate. In this day and age I think muslim women and men should move with the times. There needs to be a more coherent and pragmatic approach to these issues. The rights of the individual must not outweigh the rights of the general populus.
By the way big girls are BEAUTIFUL! Ruben had the right idea.

Thee mother even asked them something and was pointing to the covered women, but I couldn't hear what was said.
If they wobble when waddling, sorry walking then thats way too big
Totally agree, because it would not be tolerated by English abroad.

Rickets is a self inflicted disease in our society, its caused mainly by lack of vitamins and was pretty much iradicated from this country some 80 or so years ago, but amazingly the ammount of TB/Ricket cases on the NHS has shot up, TB was iradicated from this country in the 1940's, but the major factor of rickets now is people wearing full (and virutally fully covered up) burka's, so yes, self inflicted injuries that are not accidents should be paid for by the person(s) who inflicted it upon themselves imo.

It's a bit like the superstitions involving bad luck. What difference to anything is walking under a ladder going to make to anyone's life? Absolutely none whatsoever, but years ago people would avoid that kind of thing at all costs. The funny thing is, if someone happened to do something that was thought to bring bad luck, the chances of it happening would probably increase dramatically if they were living in fear of something bad happening. They would lose the confidence to do the things that really required confidence and carried a bit of risk... so it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Urban the video you posted up is a bit cruel as I do honestly feel sorry for the soldiers that are dead or any lifes that are lost at war which has no meaning. I was lucky enough to visit the army Barracks in Colchester last week and I met 3 soldiers who were going to afghanistan in a few months all three if them don't want to go but have to. They must give 12months notice if they are to leave they were very down to earth one of the birds there so fit I had to ask her 4 times why is she going to Afghanistan??they all replied they don't want to go as it's a pointless war a lot of soldiers that signed up don't even want to go but have to. They said they got mates that's lost arms legs ect all they get is a few grand after that you don't get your arms back the soldiers comment was nothing worth risking your life or health unless it was a life or death situation. The place I went to was the merville barracks personally I think it's crazy risking your life for something you don't even beleive in and a poxy wage. It's mad politians give the order get 100k salaries while people risk there life don't even get half of that
