Interview mit Laila Cunningham von Reform: ​Als Bürgermeister würde ich Burkas verbieten

If she was, she couldn’t anyway, she is just preaching to the idiots.

The only people I saw wearing burkas in London were tourists in Knightsbridge from SA or UAE whose families come for the summer and spend an almost offensive amount of money, so I suppose if you don’t want that money.

She might as well say she will ban the moon as mayor for the equally realistic prospect of that happening.

Good luck getting elected for mayor of London on that mandate

Plenty of EU countries do, and many more are debating doing it too. No reason for the UK to be left behind

I’m immunocompromised and I’ll wear a face mask wherever and whenever I want, thanks.

Sorry, is banning religious headgear within the power of a local mayor?

Why do all of Reform’s rising female stars want to ban something that isn’t worn by Muslim women?

She is referring to the Niqab I guess but even that isn’t worn by many.

Now if she was talking about extremist ideology we might have a discussion but targeting a minority within a minority of mainly peaceful citizens is crazy.

That’ll get the buses running on time and the potholes filled.

Would a Mayor have the legal authority in Law to do that?

The trouble when I read this and everyone starts saying she can’t do this because of XYZ …. Just look at ICE and what they are getting away with. The rule of law only matters if it’s going to be enforced and if this lot get in they won’t bother to penalise cops who act out their bidding.

We’re on a slippery slope and these fuckers are looking like they’ll be getting in soon enough.

The grift of the far right using minorities wanting to fit in as race shields to say the most anti British values shit imaginable continues.

And a handy guide to what British values are:

Democracy- no calls to overthrow our beautiful democracy which means all the reformorons on Twitter are out then when they begged the US about keir

The Rule of Law- So no bringing partisan politics into the judiciary

Individual Liberty- like the right to wear what you want because you want it. With the only exceptions being placed where you need to be ID’d for security reasons or like common sense obscenity laws like indecent exposure act.

Mutual respect and Tolerance – Respect and Tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. So for example the bnp are incredibly antisemitic and reform and advanceuk are pretty massively Islamophobic.

So most of reform fails at all 5.

And if they could get away with it they would absolutely love to have a white person say the most edgy points and have zero minorities in their group but they know enough generations have grown up multiculturally it would feel distasteful to a lot of people.

It’s sad and they always offer the same retort. Bla bla diversity of thought even though they only allow lockstep anti British values thinking while claiming to be patriotic.

Reform – friendly with Russia even though they’re actively belligerent to UK. Not to mention that case of that guy that got done for getting bribes from. Pro Russia network

Reform – friendly to Trump administration even though actively belligerent to UK

These groups are antithetical to British values while touting that they’re defending them.

It’s mad the times we are living in

I hate religious structures more than most. Don’t care if people believe but I find organized religion dangerous and cruel more often than not. But I also believe in someone right so religious freedom, whilst I think the burka is a symbol of oppression its not up to me to decide how others feel about it.

Let’s also remember anyone trying to ban face coverings are just trying to prevent protests in the future.

And watch her gather a large group of supporters because they lack any critical thinking.

I assume I get to dictate what she can and cannot wear too then?
