Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
You know, back in the sixties a lot of people were made uncomfortable and felt threatened by young men wearing long hair and generally looking unkempt. Many people felt these young men by their appearance were making an aggressive statement directed at them and their values. Not a few of the offended felt that these young men should be lined up and given buzz-cuts, and a swift boot in the arse for good measure. Isn't it unfortunate that this was not done? It would have established a precedent, and veil-wearing women could be given the same sort of treatment now.
