The Dark Suit Is The Burka Of Western Cock And Balls

Phillip Hollobone MP Is Beyond Parody: Ban The Burqa And No ID

Says Mr Hollobone in the Independent:

“I would ask her to remove her veil. If she said: ‘No’, I would take the view that she could see my face, I could not see hers, I am not able to satisfy myself she is who she says she is. I would invite her to communicate with me in a different way, probably in the form of a letter.”
