I've never even seen a woman wearing a burqa or a niqab in real life in britain and I bet most of those old people in the yougov poll who want to ban them haven't either.
I don't see anybody calling for Orthodox Jews to dress more conventionally, which does make the focus on burqa and niqab look a wee bit like it's got less to do with religion than it has to do with straight islamophobia, yeah?
