Default Britain gone mad: 3 Policewomen ordered to wear Burkhas for the day
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...d-burkhas.html

Three female police officers were ordered to dress up as Muslim women for the day just to see what it felt like. Two covered their faces with hijab headscarves and niqab veils, leaving only narrow slits to see through, and another wore Muslim dress and a headscarf showing her face. Douglas Murray, of the Centre for Social Cohesion think-tank, said: ‘You just couldn’t make it up.

‘The victims of crime must be amazed that the police have so much time on their hands that they can spend a day playing dress-up.

‘This is a complete waste of police time and taxpayers’ money. It’s not the duty of police to empathise with particular sections of the community. It is the duty of the police to prevent crime and catch criminals.

‘After this are they planning to dress as members of other communities such as Hindus and Buddhists?’

Fiona McEvoy, of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘The police should be spending their time trying to catch criminals rather than indulging in gimmicky exercises.

‘This is political correctness gone mad – it’s ridiculous. These kinds of schemes seem to yield few measurable benefits.

So according to the U.K. police force you are not a Muslim woman unless you wear this apparel? How stupid.

FWIW I recently asked a TSA guy if shaved head, goatee and overweight was a dress code requirement. He told me to GTF back in line.

It sounds very much what Mark Steyn writes in "America Alone" which is a fairly good quick read.
