‘Lessons have been learnt’ from veil row

by Alex Scapens
7/ 5/2008

THE magistrate at the centre of the Muslim veil row has admitted he would now do things differently - but says a similar culture clash could happen again.

Ian Murray, of Bath Crescent, Cheadle Hulme, walked out of court when confronted with niqab-wearing Zoobia Hussain, saying her face-covering head dress raised identity issues.

   Why should he have to "do things differently" ??????

As was stated in an earlier reply .... he did things exactly right last time !!!!

Lets stop eroding OUR National identity !!!, this is Britain .......... have people forgotten the old saying "when in Rome ..." if a Briton chooses to live and work abroad (eg; Saudi Arabia) we have to abide by their codes, lets have the same thing in this Country !!!. I not against other nationalities coming to this Country to seek work and live but you must respect our British culture and stop trying to change us !!!! This would not be tolerated in Australia, as their Goverment says, if you do not like the way we live, do not choose to live here.

   Backpedalling may be a very good circus act but, like most circus acts, somewhat short on dignity. He was right first time round but that no longer matters, it seems.
