Naomi - //andy-hughes, //You have no idea why this lady dresses as she does//
I know it isn't to divert the unwanted attentions of lustful men. Now, what other reason could there be? Mmmmm ..... //
And how do you know this? has the lady mailed you to confirm that, or it that your ever-reliable assumer back in action again?
Maybe she simply likes the look!!
Who knows, and more pertinently - who carers!!!!!!!!

PiedPiper15 - //Ties are inherently English, hijabs are not. //
History appears not to agree with you on that one -

> Ellipsis, I haven’t denied her the freedom to wear what she wants. I have said that what she wore is a symbol of Islam and that, in the circumstances, I would have hoped both she and Channel 4 might have had the good grace to show a little sensitivity here.
What exactly did you want both she and Channel 4 to do to show sensitivity? And to whom in particular would this sensitivity be being shown?

Andy-hughes at 17:07. I know.
Ellipsis, very often whole programmes are cancelled because of something that has happened in life and we understand why. It happens because the television companies are behaving considerately towards the viewer. France is suffering continuing attacks, people across Europe are alarmed, and they're afraid, and on this occasion when over 80 people were slaughtered in this appalling atrocity Channel 4 should have behaved more sensitively – in my opinion.

Ellipsis. this is becoming ridiculous. To put it frankly, people who are upset or personally affected by the appalling actions of Islamists in Europe can do without a woman dressed in Muslim garb being shoved in their faces reporting it directly after the event! Make of that what you will. I’m fed up with this.

//I wonder if a French "news" channel would have used a presenter wearing a hijab, or if the mischief makers on ch4 considered sending her to France to present on the spot commentary? If not, why not?//
andy hughes answered after a prompt at 12:35pm
//Not sure that such hypothesising is really relavent here?
Why would Channel 4 (Mischief makers? Really?) would consider or not sending the presenter to France is something only they know about - so how can anyone comment?//
Note the dismissive accusation of hypothesising from hypothesiser in chief? The curt "only they know" regarding being sent to Nice in her favoured attire, to report such vile events. This from one who appears to not only know , but knows best, on every thread he is involved in. Who can cut and paste pages of text and other posters comments as if to prove to us all that he bears some gravitas. The original question was ignored because the obvious answer beggars even more pointed questions.
