Rational?
All the others working with him - have they been maimed?

Yasmine Mohammed is wonderful. Boris is an opportunistic buffoon.
There have been people saying that "no man should tell a woman what to wear or what not to wear" but that misses the point. In many Muslim countries the religious police have women patrolling the streets to make sure that women are covered. Moreover there are many Muslim men who view an uncovered woman as fair game for sexual abuse. This forces women to cover up for their own protection. And when women who do cover up go on about their rights to wear what they want, they are ignoring the negative consequences for the women who don't want to cover up who will then be accused of lacking modesty.

I’m offended by an item of clothing that, if a woman chooses not to wear it, exposes her to the risk of attack due to a so-called lack of modesty.
I guess it could be down as to what it represents, and in some ways that is the continued suppression of women.
Whilst I sympathise with women's plights in Saudi...we are talking about the UK here - & the banning of attire that some at least claim to be wearing out of choice. And that just to satisfy buffoons like Boris

I really don't like the attire at all, but then I also hate anyone wearing a hoodie and scarf over their face too.
I like to see who I am talking to and I think most people feel the same.

Absolutely share the sentiment. But at the same time if I want these God-fearing people to respect my non God-fearing ways, I have to respect their ways to a large exent

It's not just Saudi, there are plenty of other countries like that. And we're quickly heading in the same direction.
Boris has never said he wanted it banned, just that he thought it looked ridiculous.
Visit Spon End some days and you'll think you're living in the middle-east!
It doesn't miss the point, by telling a woman what she can't wear you are heading in the same direction. Women should be free to choose.
Since Boris's comments there have been attacks on women wearing the Niqab so basically in this country they now have a choice of been under threat from some religious fanatic, (probably in their own family), if they don't wear it or some right wing extremist if they do. Both different cheeks of the same misogynistic arse. Basically men fucking women over as usual.
Try proving that. You have expressed a shared belief. The people we are talking about here have a very strong belief that there is one & they are shit-scared of him

Are we?
Or by such actions as banning certain forms of dress - are we simply heading toward the exact same but with different values?

This is true, but he said what he said fully expecting the resulting furore & calls to ban it.

Mission impossible.......Brainwashed from an early age. Once said to a good mate years ago that if you can prove to me how Mary was a virgin even tho she had a child then i'll believe in god....He couldn't !!
And recently Cancer........Queues at the pearly gates these days....Packing them in.
In Victorian England, a woman showing more leg than her just her ankle was considered scandalous.
So just consider these Mulsim countries as still being in their version of Victorian times.
They will evolve over the next couple of centuries.
A lot of western non-Muslim men think women who wear skimpy clothing, have half their breasts and ass hanging out are ‘fair game’. In fact a lot of men full stop think women are fair game regardless of what they are wearing. See some of the threads on here about female fans being touched up at games.
Unfortunately evidence of domestic violence is covered up in numerous ways not just in the Muslim community.
True and women in general are still seen as fair game by so many men unfortunately.
