Boris puts his foot in it

[Zigenare]

People should have the right to wear what they want.

Oh dear, how naïve!

[d000hg]

And he really should not because he has not said anything racist or islamophobic

he has simply stated that certain clothing some people wear looks stupid.

and I agree with him

You can argue it's not racist/islamophobic but it's certainly insensitive and clearly offensive to publicly state a certain demographic look stupid on a national media channel. Should you be able to shout in the street "'ere luv show us yer face it can't be that bad?" Maybe though it would be extremely rude and if someone kicked you in the nads nobody would complain. Should a senior politician be able to to make derogatory comments on national media that mocks part of the population they serve? Probably not and their political party can rightly take action against anyone they feel brings the party into a bad light.

People should have the right to wear what they want.

Within reason, yes.

Certain work environments require uniforms or protective clothing for their/other safety.

Not all clothing is appropriate for schools, places of worship, graveyards etc.

It’s ultimately about respect for yourself and for others around you.

People should have the right to wear what they want.

Like a t-shirt with a slogan "The holocaust didn't happen, but I wish it had?" Or a photo of your young daughter photoshopped to be nude?

[vetran]

Do you think they should be banned?

In places where identity needs to be established yes or we should put provision in e.g. private identity booths manned by suitable staff where the person can be identified in private. Those that choose to wear such garments in public should expect to be detained and identified if needed.

Just as if you are wearing a crash helmet in a shop you can be asked to remove it, those unwilling to remove it could be refused entry. I imagine banks & shops willing to allow not proving identity will appear. Passport lines there could be a booth.

Why does he have three feet?

So he can undo all of his shoelaces simultaneously with his three arms.

People should have the right to wear what they want.

If they were wearing them because they wanted to then they'd be pink. With patterns. And frilly bits. I've been observing women for 9 decades, and there's nothing they won't frill up given the slightest opportunity.

[darmstadt]

I think in this day and age we should remove clothing which clear creates a cultural barrier and introduces a security risk.
