are they allowed to wear kilts just in passing
the men I mean

[jno]

look good to me. Look good on the beach too, I should think.

[Islay]

And what is wrong with that?

I personally don't see the problem with that.

In the West Midlands the police uniform has included the Sikh turban and Muslim hijab for years

[THEMOTLEY1]

Did anyone say it was a problem?

[whiskeryron]

So Scotland, na na, na na na

[Islay]

So what's your question then Motley?

[THEMOTLEY1]

Just a topic for discussion as a contrast to the Burkini story, so calm down dear.

[Old_Geezer]

Any truth in the rumour that it's so cold up north, Burkinis are compulsory beachwear for women ?

If the law and order meted out to the rest of us comes from people who think antiquated religious practices remain, in the 21st century, worthy of observance, I have to question their rationale.

[Islay]

Oh FGS!!

[naomi24]

Problem Islay?

[Islay]

I find your constant hounding quite exhausting Naomi!

[agchristie]

The Scots hadith coming...

[naomi24]

Islay, I can only suggest you avoid my posts then.

[naomi24]

Hi ag, nice to see you. You've been missed. :o)

[andy-hughes]

If adding this form of attire to uniform helps to break down the acknowledged barriers between the police and various ethnic communities, it can only be a good thing.

The argument that it is based on 'twelfth-century oppression blah blah blah' means nothing.

The police have to deal with the situations on the street as they are, not an academic and meaningless debate about subjugation.

If this assists the police, then let's see what happens, if not, it is perfectly possible to take it away again.

Hi Naomi,thanks :)

Could be an equally long debate this one!

[agchristie]

People may be unsettled from certain street angles i.e using radios,pressing buttons,exposed wires to earpieces etc etc

We've seen this hoax before.
