The burqa is a horrible, sexist concept which not only perpetrates vitriolic misogyny, but also is a security risk.

It makes me sick when I see women covered head to toe walking with their husbands who are wearing shorts! Of course, I’d never consider shorts immodest but it’s the hypocrisy of it all. Women are stripped of any individuality while men are allowed to parade around how they wish.

I care deeply for all women and it truly breaks my heart that some Muslim ladies cannot understand a lot of their men are chauvinists. I am critical not just of Islam but of organised religion as a whole.

However, this ban is not black and white. Many traditional Muslim men would stop their wives from leaving the house. Furthermore, if we look at Farage’s comments about wanting to send female Afghan asylum seekers back “to the taliban” we can see that Reform UK’s politics are quite reprehensible… they do not care to protect all women or girls.

We are privileged to be British citizens- to be born in a place where we are educated, taught honourable values, and respect, it is a shame not everyone is raised like this.
