Should we ban the burka in the UK?

As Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel calls for a burka ban in her country, we ask if the UK should follow suit.

Journalist and broadcaster Lauren Booth, who converted to Islam in 2010, is disgusted at the prospect of a ban and says she is fed up of being told what to wear by 'white men in suits'.

But commentator James Whale thinks it should be banned in public places because it causes segregation and poses a security risk.
