I don't think its about being pc, its about being leaving people alone in something that really doesn't matter. I do however think the veil should be lifted in certain circumstances, such as in banks and where health and safety is a concern but otherwise let people get on with it. I can envisage women who wear the veil being placed in a difficult position and being targets for abuse and violence as a result of this legislation. As I said before, I do not like the veil but I think this is the wrong way to handle objections to it.
The children in the park were not wearing the full veil, just the hijab. Some would say its sensible in the sun!
