Skyrad 0 #28 October 7, 2006 QuoteQuoteHe's not saying they shouldn't, he's not ordering that they shouldn't be allowed. He's saying that he feels uncomfortable talking to a person whne he can only see their eyes, further hes saying that while he respects their right to wear a veil he asks them if they would mind removing it when they are speaking. (always with another woman present) Wheres the problem with that? My problem with that is that the context, while not necessarily coercive in so many words, is at least subtly intimidating. These women are approaching their MP (Straw) seeking his (hopefully sympathetic) ear, endorsement and/or action on issues of importance to them. Clearly they have a motivation to be deferential. So, if he asks them to remove their veil, they might very feel that either practical necessity or respect for authority leaves them little choice but to play the good toadie and politely acquiesce.
