MP tells GMB that UK should follow Germany and ban the burka
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said the wearing of full-faced veils should be prohibited in the country "wherever it is legally possible".
Conservative MP Philip Hollobone joined us this morning to give his reasons why he believes the UK should follow Germany and ban the burka. He stated: "You simply can't have a normal everyday conversation, a normal human interaction, if a person has their face covered".
He added: "If you think it's acceptable for a woman to wear a burka, just ask yourself would it be acceptable for a man to wear a full face balaclava."
Is there a place for this kind of ban in Britain?
