Burqa banned in Swiss Canton of Ticino (Tessin)

Burqa or Niqab?

I've never even seen anyone in a full blown burqa before, not even in KSA.

You claim to live in the Bath area, having spent a fair bit of time in that area on contract I can safely say that the population of people likely to wear the various headgears are less than 1% of that near here.

I see variants on the extreme headwear on a daily basis and literally dozens a day outside the school near my house.

Really?

I saw a woman in one at Legoland Windsor...

There was a time I lived in Stoke on Trent.
Seen them all.

Always amused me seeing full Burqas with bright red stripper heels poking out the bottom.

It's splitting hairs but;

Burqa:



Niqab:



Seen plenty of the second form as that's what all Saudi women are required to wear. Never seen the first form with the full face covering anywhere.

Yep.

The headline was Burka, but the law itself relates to face covering - like the French law, upheld by the ECHR.

Rarer granted but surprises me. Where do you live?

The wearing of these is on a par with FGM

Well they can choose to take these off - if the are prepared for any consequences...
