The EU are proposing tightening up some of the rules in relation to the stock markets & pensions
(you know, imposing a few regulations to try and limit the damage that wonderful private sector market can manage to do itself from time to time, ruining pensions in the manner they have just recently done).
As per the DE prefer to call anything to do with regulation (and particularly the EU) as being a certainty for the very worst possible case outcome whilst studiously ignoring the huge amount of damage the private sector have just done to those self-same prospective pensioners.
The comments section is the usual laughable spiteful luddite nonsense = ‘why did we ever join….’ and cr@p about how in the mythical version of history it was all only supposed to be about business and commerce when we joined.
Idiots.
I’m not a Muslim female. I don’t wish to speak for any Muslim females out there, that’s why I’m not going to say that the Burkha either is or isn’t a ’sign of subservience’ or a ‘breach of freedoms’. I’m sure there are women who feel like it is, others that would wear it out of choice, and even more that wear it as part of their religious practices and doesn’t consider it either way.
What I would say, though, is that an outright ban is an equal restriction of personal freedoms designed to show subservience to your country as opposed to your god.
Why the hell am I getting so worked up about such a non-story?!
The Express has gone even further downmarket. Just days ago the rag was slinging out cheap items from Waitrose, but now the funsters at The Express are recommending Lidl, a German hard discounter.
What a load of laughably slanted old sh*t.

Do they mention that the ‘call to ban the burkha’ come from Nicholas Sarkozy – evil frenchie and EU-o-phile.
I reckon they only put the “bat the burkha” story in to fire up the blood of the readers in the article’s comments section.
Is that Diana back on the front page at last?

Aaagh, for the gazillionth time that’s not a burqa, it’s an abaya!!!
Signed, A. Pedant
So forcing women not to wear the abaya (Thanks A . Pendant) is all about freeing women from being forced to wear it??????????
@ Fflaps:
Ah, but “ban the abaya” doesn’t have that primary-school illiteration that the DE loves so much!
Abolish the abaya?
Here is my Express readers’ Arabic dictionary:
Burkha – full-face veil
Jihad – holy war
Ramadan – fasting
Fatwa – death sentence
All of which translations are both incorrect and insultingly simplistic. But why let basic research get in the way of racially-divisive soundbites?

Don’t think much of today’s totty corner.
My pensions through Nuvos, I’m sure future governments will be cutting that.
