"Featherstone was born and brought up in North London to a British Jewish family. In December 2010 Featherstone introduced a move that would allow positive discrimination which is primarily aimed at addressing female under-representation in the workforce. It will also mean that a manager will be able lawfully to hire a black man over a white man, a homosexual man over a heterosexual man, if they have the same skill set. In September 2011 Featherstone caused controversy by claiming men make 'terrible decisions" when they are in charge.'"

This was put up a while ago and I think the British government are boss hogs. I'm similarly opposed to how women in France aren't allowed to wear head scarfs. I think people should wear what they want, especially if its part of their beliefs or expressing their beliefs, because our beliefs are part of who we are. This is just an excuse to boss people around and interfere with their freedom of expression.

I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

Does that "wear what you want" belief extend to those whose beliefs dictate that they wear nothing at all, or go topless?
