The French parliament has received a parliamentary report recommending a ban on the burka. The veil [hijab] is already banned in schools. The ban on the burka [head, face, and body covering] will include at schools, government offices, hospitals, and public transport. While the ban will not include streets or shops the inclusion of public transport, when considered together with the widespread use of buses and of metros in cities, amounts to a virtual ban.
As with many government initiatives it is likely to have unanticipated consequences.
With the right motorcycle outfit and dark visor the clothing police can be stymied.
Will such outfits become fashionable in Paris?
