Should Britain ban the burka?

With the general election just 6 weeks away, the political parties are setting out their key manifesto points in a bid to win votes. So will UKIP’s pledge to ban the burka in Britain go down well with the electorate? Party leader Paul Nuttall says the garment is a barrier to social harmony and a security risk - but is he right?

Debating the issue today are Sahar Al-Faifi, who wears a burka herself and believes true integration should mean women can wear what they like, and Dr Taj Hargey, who has backed UKIP’s announcement, believing there is no logic behind Muslim women covering up in the UK.
